Krishna Malhotra, a 58-year-old financial analyst...
Krishna Malhotra, a 58-year-old financial analyst and father of two, had been struggling with erectile dysfunction (ED) for nearly a decade due to poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. Despite trying oral medications, injections, and lifestyle changes, his erections were unreliable and insufficient for intimacy, which deeply affected his self-esteem and connection with his wife. His urologist, after exhausting other options, recommended a penile implant as a definitive solution to restore sexual function. Krishna was apprehensive about surgery but proceeded, hoping for normalcy. The procedure went smoothly. After a recovery period of about six weeks with some discomfort and swelling, he was able to use the device successfully. Emotionally, he moved from a place of shame and resignation to one of profound relief and regained confidence. The implant gave him back a sense of control and spontaneity in his marriage, healing a significant source of silent stress.
