Re: Tenacio pump observations
In short, the Tenacio pump works as advertised. I'm at almost 4 mo post op and can easily inflate/deflate. I had a lot of scrotum pain until about 8 weeks. I rarely reach max inflate since I still have discomfort with the tips pushing into the glans. But that isn't a pump problem. Everyone says that...

Re: The "airport security" question again!!
Ditto from everyone above. The TSA scanner simply alerts the agent there is something in your body. and shows up as a dot on their display. Telling them before you enter the machine that you have "an implant" or metal in your body tells them to expect a ping. You don't have to tell them wh...

Re: AMS + Tenacio pump journey
2.5 mo post op: Just got back from a wonderful vacation. There was some discomfort from the IPP from being crammed in my pants for an 11 hr flight each way and no way to release the monster. Deflating to the max before the flight helped. I also had to be careful in the pools and hot tubs- I didn't w...

Re: psychological problem..pills work sometimes it is better going for an implant or try all the solutions before it
You answered your own question... Pills aren't working and you don't want injections; so you want an implant. Just be prepared for a year long rehab that isn't reversible. I agree with everyone here- find the problem first before going to surgery. Counseling could be helpful and much cheaper if it w...

Re: AMS + Tenacio pump journey
Day 35- the pain & discomfort are subsiding. The hot spot has settled down, but the skin is still tender after working the pump. I can feel the pump get hard right about when the cylinder tips are expanding into the glans and causing discomfort. I can add a couple micro pumps from there. I know ...

Re: Prostate Cancer, hormone therapy and Implant
I'm sorry to hear your struggles. Like many here, we are in the same boat. I had my pros cancer in 2020, then tried and failed everything. I just got implanted 31 days ago. 1) I'm not familiar with your hormone, but I'm on topical testosterone. It took awhile after the Dr was convinced with my PSAs ...

Re: AMS + Tenacio pump journey
Nuance- your body is building a surgical capsule around the foreign objects. You don't want to leave it pointing in 1 direction all day and develop a bend/curve.
Thisworld- I don't hear anything, but I also need hearing aids.

Re: AMS + Tenacio pump journey
So after you deflate, are you supposed to add a pump to reset the valve? I've found that gravity is letting fluid back in the cylinders after I deflate. I didn't see this answer in the owners manual. The TEN pump is working. I get about a 10-20 pumps for a 3 o'clock sundial. I pump up to discomfort,...

Re: 2 weeks post op reservoir pain
RJ,
Put a pillow between your thighs to sleep on your side and give your rascal some support.
The nerve pain is normal. Wait until the itching starts...
