Hi

Due to trans-formative life events if I am unable to pump/use it, what are the worst case scenarios? What can be done to overcome it? I didnt use it for two months, and the pump seems hard as hell!

I didn't inflate or use mine for years, but on the rare occasions I did inflate (maybe once or twice a year) it seemed to function properly. After more than 12 years it quit working altogether, but in the circumstances that didn't matter.

I won't pretend to know anything about what happens if you don't cycle your device for months on end. But I just wonder: even if life events prevents you from using your device, is there anything that prevents you from inflating it alone in the bathroom every other week or so, just to check that it still works?

I recently had surgery on my urethra and my doctor didn't want me to use it or inflate it for almost 3 months. I just started this week, it's strange but coming back nice.

Of course you can inflate any time you feel like it, but in my case my stroke took away my libido and any vestige of interest in sex. I rarely even thought about the implant.
