Erection device vs cover after gender-affirming penis surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial compares two options to help people who have had phalloplasty have penetrative sex: an erection prosthesis (an implanted device) versus an epithesis (a removable cover/prosthetic). It aims to see which option works better and is acceptable for restoring sensation, function, and sexual penetration.
