It sounds as if you may actually have two issues. Your loss of libido may be caused by low levels of testosterone. This is something that can be easily checked by your physician with a simple blood test. If you do have low testosterone it can be treated by rub on gels, injections, or simple implants...

I had a similar problem with my AMS 700. I found an answer that worked for me at the bottom of page 32 of the AMS instructions http://www.amselabeling.com/assets/files/230006-01.E_PatMan_700-MSP_en.pdf. Be careful NOT to hold the block while attempting to inflate so that the deflate button is being ...

When I was about four weeks postop I started trying to cycle the pump. The first thing I noticed was that it was really hard to do. The pump took significant pressure just to squeeze it. (The good news is that as time goes on it does become easier to do) I also had trouble with inflation/deflation. ...

All I can tell you is that my experience was without pain. It required significant pressure to "pop" the valve and that can/probably will cause you some pressure discomfort, and the pumping, at least in the early days tends to be quite stiff. But, as you will hear repeatedly, things get mu...

I have an AMS700 implanted four months ago. The pump was very difficult to operate at first, but it did become easier with time. I find that using a two hand approach works best for me. I grasp the very base of the pump (where the three tubes enter the pump assembly) with one hand and use the thumb ...

I have a question for anyone who has had to have a pump replacement. My AMS 700CX functions well but the pump is too high in the scrotum. It rests tightly against the base of the penis and causes significant irritation. The surgeon has suggested that the solution is to just replace the pump with a n...

I did a little additional research on the question of nerve regeneration. The attached study says that nerve regeneration can happen at a rate of up to one inch per month. Based on the scrotal aarea of most surgeries the nerve recovery time should be in the range of a few months. I'm hopint that is ...

I met with my surgeon today and asked him about the sensitivity. His response was that a loss of sensitivity is fairly normal, but that it will resolve itself in time. He said that sensory nerves (as opposed to muscle control nerves) will regenerate slowly but that feeling will return. He also said ...
