If we had a friendship relationship. I'd highly advise you to get a second opinion on the natural girth issue. Oh wait, I'm going to advise that because of FT.
If the doctor is mistaken? Then you are the one that will suffer. I never trust one opinion. Learned many years ago dealing with the medical profession. Double check everything.
Sorry that I'm over bearing but in the long run I want all members to succeed. I wish the same for you.
Are you willing to mention your surgeons name & what country that you live in?
Firstly, thank you for your concern.
Pills (tadalafil specifically) worked amazingly well for roughly one year. Now, pills work intermittently. Without pills, I can barely masturbate. I'm not satisified with this aspect of the oral medication, it has made me too aware of the possibility of a failure. I expect the implant to completely fix my intermittent erection as well as indirectly cure the anxiety related to maintaing the erection as well. I like the idea of an implant equally for both of these reasons.
I have visited 4 different urologists in my country. None are high volume and from what I have gathered, there isn't one here. Out of 4, 2 refused to even discuss implants with me, due to being too young and healthy otherwise (bloodwork done) and referred me to therapy.
1 wanted to charge me a fortune for the doppler exam and required many other exotic exams that needed to be done at his office exclusively.
The remaining urologist that seems extremely knowledgeable about prosthetic urology did a doppler exam (and charged reasonably for it) and reported venous leakage. He is the one who provided the information about latent erection, which is indeed contrary to what we hear from most other urologists.
Yes, I'm accepting of the fact that I might lose girth with a malleable, even the 13mm genesis. And yes, I naturally have plenty of it as well, one of the doctors asked me if I had PMMA done. Still, If I coud be given a guarantee of being able to conceal a malleable under work clothes, that would still be my choice given the considerations I made previously about the pump and the tubing of an inflatable device.
