Penile implant with hard flaccid questions

[Keith_Walts]

Hey everyone, I've suffered from hard flaccid syndrome for almost six years now and have reached my limit. I'm considering a penile implant to put the matter to bed for good. Anyone with hard flaccid knows that is a torturous awful condition, that you feel and deal with every second of the day. The chronic discomfort from the rigid, retracting, twisting penis is worse than any sexual dysfunction that accompanies it.

So my two big questions here are regarding that, comfort. I'm a 27 year old man, and I want to live a very active athletic life. As a result I'd like to ask anyone here who was an implant, even without prior hard flaccid: How comfortable is your implant in daily life? Do you feel it, are you aware of it when sitting/driving/lifting? Are you able to say, fall down on a bed onto your stomach or have a dog jump onto your lap without feeling hardware or pain down there? Hard flaccid makes every moment of the day miserable and I'm trying to get away from being omnipresently aware of my dick.

Question 2 is for the guys who had hard flaccid and then made the jump to the implant. Did it get rid of the sensations of hard flaccid? Is your penis now soft? Does it not retract, does it not twist, do you not feel strange contracting sensations in the corpora anymore? Is it just like a normal dick chilling there?

To be clear, hard flaccid (atleast in my case) is not pelvic floor dysfunction. It is autonomic nervous dysfunction affecting the corpora which was caused by exposure to a toxic pharmaceutical. Please dont suggest pelvic pt, been there, done that. I appreciate everyone's time, and thanks.

I think you are right on with the cause of hard flaccid. I’ve dealt with it in varying degrees over the last five years due to stopping an ssri antidepressant suddenly. Experimenting with other low dose meds had helped with some of it as well as others aggravated it so it can definitely be caused by pharmaceuticals. I am also exploring getting the implant soon. I’m just tired of the lack of sensation, the shrinkage and the ed. Sometimes pde5s help temporarily but it’s just draining constantly dealing with it. I have read of one or two who had good success with an implant. I’ve even tried Botox with very limited success

Yeah I just did botox a couple months ago and, nada

Hi:

I contracted hard flaccid following a bacterial infection and lived with it for four years. During that time, I tried radial pulse waves, Cialis, TRT, PT, even spinal injections (as suggested by Goldstein). Nothing worked. The implant worked. No more penile contraction, and even my ejaculation improved; it shoots out again rather than just eeks out due to the tight corpora. To answer question 2, yes, it's just like a normal dick chilling there.

As to whether it's eliminated my being omnipresently aware of my dick (you worded it great), not really. I can definitely feel that I have an implant and am very cautious of the pump in my balls, like when I drive a car or sit in a hard booth at a restaurant. I am always aware that I have hardware inside of me.

So, does it resolve hard flaccid. Absolutely; the problem concerns the corpora, and the corpora has been "stripped out." But that's not to say the implant is perfect; it comes with its own host of concerns.

Really appreciate your perspective man, thanks

Anytime, Keith. Yeah, the worst thing about HF is that no one can tell you what it is; after a while, you start to wonder if you're crazy or something, like if you're subconsciously doing it to yourself. However, this is belied by the lack of nocturnal and spontaneous erections; it has a definite, somatic cause. Unfortunately, I don't foresee a breakthrough in HF research on the horizon as it's currently disregarded by urologists; so, depending on the severity of your HF, an implant, either IPP or malleable, might be your only option.

By the way, I would also get "hourglassing" and curvature aside from contraction; my curvature was to the left. This made me question fibrosis, but the curvature was conditional, and the doctor said I had no sign of corporeal fibrosis or penile atherosclerosis. He agreed my case was "anomalous."

I've been contacted by a few people on here with HF because not many HF sufferers take the plunge into such an intervention, but after four years and so many doctors, I had finally had enough.

Is has softened a lot. Still have a bulge but yes much softer than earlier on. I’m sure that either one would still feel firm for some time. Maybe titan would take longer and might never have a soft a flaccid but either way I would go back with which ever one the Dr recommended. Can’t go wrong either way.
