Reservoir compressing ureter, causing Hydronephrosis?

In a recent health exam, ultrasound exam reveals that I have developed a Hydronephrosis in my left kidney, which is also the side where the reservoir was placed. The doctor believes that this is driven by the reservoir pressing the ureter on the left side, similar to the case discussed in this paper...

Re: Update: 18 months since surgery

Congrats! Can you elaborate a bit on why Dr. Eid and Dr. Cordon both suggested deflating to the max? Thanks. Hello FT members, I completed my 18 months since surgery few days back. Time flies and it flies super fast! The implant works great and now it is just a muscle memory to get it inflated and d...

Physical exam after implant

I got implanted more than a year ago and have been very happy with the outcome. About to have a routine physical exam, and I am wondering for which checks do I need to disclose to the nurses about the implant? I imagine abdominal/penile doppler ultrasound might be affected by the implant, if I do no...

Re: Ball bag swollen advice?

Update: I’m being discharged from the hospital my swelling had gone down my balls still remain red though.

Re: Journal- Surgery with Dr. Billy Cordon in Miami

I complete 2 months since my surgery in less than a week. I am now able to cycle for more than an hour twice a day without any pain. The glans swell up if I am aroused or in the morning but don’t pain. I have started masturbation and did that a few times. It felt great. Tried it with just the flacc...

Re: New implant technology?

Honestly I think instead of the fancy new technologies, the first order thing is really to have a product that is significantly more durable than the current models. Personally, I am willing to pay an extra $200k to have an IPP that would never break...

Re: Missing the boat

I agree, for us young guys with lifelong ED, this should really have been the immediate next step after pills stopped working.

Re: Understanding Cycling + Perito Exercises

I would be very careful with a Bluetooth dick. This is RF radiation and if you think you have a risk in Prostate radiation treatment for prostate cancer this can put your life at a considerable risk. Now before you call me a tin foil hat nut or conspiracy theorists, think carefully about this. Reme...

Re: 31 yrs old implant journal

4 weeks post-op: Went to the doctor's office today. Was told that I healed well, and no need to keep worrying about potential infections. Got inflated and deflated by the doc, and then tried myself with no problem. Scrotum skin feels quite sensitive, so pressing the pump hard can be a bit painful, b...

Re: Implant Scheduled for Jan 24, 2023

Hi sswinsfba, Thanks for the detailed journal, very informative. I am 11 days post-op, and have been experiencing the same "ball/thigh friction" problem that you described. Did you end up finding a good solution to this? Thank you! 30 days Post-Op -- 1st weekly report: 02/23/2023 Recovery ...
