Pressure Under Perineum ("Taint")

[Courage]

I'm about a week and a half in and healing well. Something that's been an issue is this uncomfortable pressure I feel where the back of the tubes go under the perineum (in common usage, under the taint). It's mainly a problem when I sit.

I haven't seen this discussed and I'm wondering whether it resolves. My job involves sitting so there's some urgency.

i had the same problem, i had to buy one of those cushions you sit on, like memory foam or gel.
i am 19 days post op and i still feel this pressure, although not as bad as it was in the beginning but its still there some what.

If it’s what I had it’s actually the back end of the implant tips where they are smashed down into your crux. It will heal up and stop hurting in time.

That makes sense. Thank you.

That is the location where I had the most discomfort after getting implanted. My discomfort passed in a short period of time.

Oh yea, my perineum hurt for a long time. Sitting on a hard chair was a no go for weeks.

Which cushion did you buy? My surgery is next week.

Hi Rider, how long did it take for the back end of the implant tips to stop hurting for you? Thats the main area where i feel pain when i inflate. In my case it's not just about sitting, but about inflating and feeling that those back end tips are stabbing all the way to my ass (particularly left side in my case)

Yup, I had the same problem but not anywhere near what Vitalssk has been going through. I remember going to a resort in Austin, Texas around 4 weeks after my surgery and sitting in hard chairs was painful; Tylenol and Motrin would help but I would have to sit in a comfy chair so I could get relief. It just takes time for everything to heal down there. It will get better
