I was implanted by Mr Ralph. Not a great bedside manner but surgery was fantastic. No issues, minimal pain and little swelling.

I was pen scrotal as well and stayed overnight. I had the implant at 8 am and the drain was removed at lunchtime the following day. It was later than they wanted. The catheter came out that morning and I could pee straightaway. My blood pressure was low and the nurse advised me not to take my preven...

Hi all Can't believe it's a month since my implant (peno scrotal) and I'm so pleased to say it's been pretty much problem free. At the weekend I even had a dog jump into my meat and two veg when out on a walk, and there was only " normal" pain! I was deflated at 7 days by Professor Ralph a...

I was implanted by Dr Ralph this month. He was recommended along with a couple of other doctors by my NHS Urologist. He said the implant on the NHS would take a while and would need a special approval. I didn't want to wait. My workplace insurance with AXA excludes Sexual conditions, so I paid for t...

I had my implant 7 Feb and the scrotal incision is glued. I think this helps minimise the risk of infection and the surgeon just told me I was free to have a shower the following day.

Thanks everyone! I'm amazed that some procedures are as an outpatient. I'm in for an overnight stay, hence the need to field lots of questions.

Hi As per my earlier post, I'm due for an implant on 7 Feb. We've made arrangements but are being asked by the family why I'm going to hospital, what's wrong, am I Ok? etc etc I'm reaching out to find out what people have said to others and if being open about the implant, what their reaction was? T...

Hi Alex 258 - what is Tri gel?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I think he is using the penoscrotal approach as he has talked about an incision in that area. I have tried injections but alas they only got me 80% there. I had no qualms about injecting myself there. But I'm sure that I have developed slight scaring and a curvature ...
