Sexual function is a significant consideration for many patients. Phalloplasty can:
1. Enable Penetrative Sex: With the aid of penile implants, patients can achieve erections. 2. Preserve Sensation: Surgeons aim to preserve as much nerve function as possible to retain sexual sensation. 3. Enhance Body Image: For many, having a phallus that aligns with their gender identity greatly improves their sexual self-esteem.
