Sounds similar to mine. I think the surgeon misjudged the implant placement/tube length. Difficult to have sex because of the pain that comes from having my partners body slamming the pump/testicle.

Re: Life span on implants
Well, we will have to agree to disagree I guess. At the end of the day all I have to go on is my own experience with implants.

Re: Life span on implants
The ones whose implants work well and for a long time post frequently on this forum (about how the implant lasts for so many years, how great it is, how much it changed their lives, etc). I suspect a lot of those posters are implant industry shills/promoters (data skewers)...... On the other hand, t...

Re: failure rate: coloplast vs.AMS/Boston Scientific??
What about sticky valve issues? Any studies done comparing the two companies in this regard?

failure rate: coloplast vs.AMS/Boston Scientific??

Re: Does it last really 10 years?
My first one leaked/stopped working after 4.5 years, and the replacement stopped working after just 2 years (pump won't reset).
