Cycling 3-4x per day to maximize length / tips into glans ?

[ViaSwiss]

Haha, thanks for the advice. I def took it all with a grain of salt. The ones who seem to think I was 100% undersized, have not even been implanted themselves yet..

I did 1 hot bath while cycling even though I am supposed to wait another week, and can say for sure that the hot bath cycling allows wayyy more expansion that just sitting in bed and cycling. I think once I can start regularly cycling in a hot bath, I will see more length and tips movement. I was actually able to get the tips 1/2 into the glans while in the bath.

Tortão has certainly been implanted. I've made hours and hours of research, read just about every journal, and watched just about every operation video out there.

Let's revisit this in a few months, there's nothing you can do now anyway. While guys properly sized experienced a bit of length gain i suspect you will probably just get the cylinders into the bottom of your glans. But let's see how it goes.

Best.

I looked back through some previous posts of guys that had the same concerns immediately post op. I found "October26" and PMed him asking how it turned out. Here is his response.

"My doctor said to do the cycling two hours per day and at six months I had restored about 1.5-2.0 inches. Thais is amazing to me. I sort of recall being at that seven inch length when I was young but never measured way back then. I am 61 now. I think some of the later extension is in the glans and everything fits well there in the glans."

I have a consult scheduled with Karpman tonight. I'll edit this post to add in his thoughts tonight..

ViaSwiss, maybe doing this might ease your mind. While inflated, gently feel up & down your shaft for wrinkles. I know many people don't think the Titans stretch in length. But I read enough credible stories to think at least some length changing does happen with some men. Perhaps if there's some wrinkles & the material softens up might explain the growth.
I wish you the best & don't lose hope. A revision to add a RTE might be an easy fix if it turns out you aren't sized the best. You have good options.

Is there any downsized about cycling 3 or even 4x a day ? Cycling is getting less painful for me a few days in already.

Flaccid, my tips are not into my glans.

Pumped, the tips dont go far enough into my glans.

I want to maximize the tips entering further into the glans + adding length as soon as I can so I don't have floppy glans.

This sounds like a subject to be addressed with your surgeon.

So why aren't you following Surgeon instructions? He is the expert on your surgery and care, not those of us on here

I think the main takeaway here is that this is either going to fix itself or is fixable.

No offense buddy, but when people comment like yours it, it adds zero value. Of course, its a question for my surgeon. Everything is a question for your surgeon. Hence, why I asked my surgeon and will ask more on my follow up next Thursday. I want other people's experiences as well, have a discourse about it all.

This board would not exist if people just asked their surgeon everything and then never asked anyone else their experiences.

I've seen an increased # of people commenting "just ask your surgeon" without adding any additional substance lately and its irritating..

Apart from that, I had a phone consult with Karpman last night. Its obviously hard for him to know for sure without visually inspecting my penis and having the OR notes in front of him, but he says most likely scenario is I was undersized (similar to what Eid says from email). He told me to give it a month or so to see what happens after swelling goes down, and he can either add RTEs or size me bigger in a few months if needed.

Hot bath cycling is the way to go, I feel more stretch and pumps in there in 25 mins than I do in 1 hr of regular cycling. This morning it seemed that my right tip was at least 1/2 way into glans, maybe more like 3/4. I actually am sometimes feeling a popping sound near the glans, which is likely popping through scar tissue that is still in there.

So strange that they say in no way does the Titan expand in length, but then a number of guys here say they have gained 1, 2, 3 inches from cycling. Even the following study shows the Titan can increase in length..

Henry G, Carrion R, Jennermann C, Wang R. Prospective evaluation of postoperative penile rehabilitation: penile length/firth maintenance following Coloplast Titan inflatable penile prosthesis. J Sex Med 2015; 12: 1298-304

And Coloplast themselves claim its possible..

You see the thing about length gains is that it happens when a man has been slightly oversized.

What happens is that at the beginning the Titan simply isn't expanding all the way. This is why guys report a slight pain at the glans of their penis. This is the implant trying to expand in length. Overtime, the traction on the penis allows the implant to fully expand.

There was a guy here that was slightly oversized by Eid and was being a bit of a wuss about the pain in the tip. This can be easily fixed by a bit of manual traction. The reason i don't like complaints like that is because it discourages doctor to do the slight oversize.

What is manual traction?

Since starting to cycling in the bath, I have been getting considerably more pain in the tips, which I take as a good thing..
