Titan Auto inflate

Postby Idaho32 » Thu May 30, 2024 3:31 pm

3 weeks out from surgery, Deflated at the Dr office 2 days ago and started cycling. Yesterday through the night and today it would auto inflate itself and very painful. I assume a check valve is stuck but I reached out to the Dr office and let them know I had to deflate every 20 minutes or so. Basically they told me give it time to settle. Anyone else had this happen? If so, how long did it last

Same here early on. Lasted 5-6 months, until the pump started to soften.
When you deflate...be sure and give the pump 1 good hard squeeze.
To this day (5 years) I still do it. Must be a Coloplast thing.

Were you left inflated after surgery?
This happened to me, apparently I should have been discharged deflated but the doctor made a mistake so I had the first few weeks fully inflated. Consequently scar tissue formed around the reservoir. It did improve over time but unfortunately it never stays fully deflated to this day

I was left inflated also, I assume inflated is the norm unless you have had a radical prostectomy. 5 months is a long time of grabbing your balls all the time. Either use some kind of compression to keep it from inflation?

They make urinary clamps that may fit the bill. Right now at almost 4 weeks out and nothing but pain to show for it, questioning if I should have done it at all. Nothing but pain for 4 weeks is a lot to swallow

Never had an auto-inflate problem, but a couple months into cycling, when I deflated, only one cylinder would deflate. It was weird as fuck ! Half my dick was hard and the other half was flat . I would constantly inflate / deflate, moving my dick around like a joystick trying to get both cylinders to deflate. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes, sometimes 5 . It sucked ! This went on for a couple weeks if my memory serves me right . I contacted Dr.Clavell about it and he had never heard of that happening before. Didn't really have any advice. I guess I was the first patient that this had ever happened to . Luckily it just resolved itself and has never happened again. I remember looking up on Google the internal workings of an implant, with schematics . It really is a simple device and I couldn't understand what would cause only one side to deflate. It should never happen ! I guess I'll just chalk it up to one of the great mysteries of the universe.

It is not necessarily a mistake to leave the prosthesis inflated after surgery.

It is one of the techniques that doctors use, along with a compression bandage, it greatly prevents inflammation. About 80% inflated.
After a few days it is deflated if the pain allows, and you can begin to inflate and deflate.

When they deflate the first time you can see the sky, because the pain in the tip is greatly relieved. As long as the doctor doesn't squeeze his testicle by mistake. hehe

I didn't have any problem with this.

I support the recommendation that our colleagues gave, after deflating, give one or two pumps to change the direction of the valve and this normally solves the problem

I had never heard it before.

Speculating a little, if you notice, each cylinder is inflated by an individual pipe, it seems logical to think that a pipe could have been bent, or become tight against some anatomical structure, and after the inflammation stops, it returns to normal. . It could be.

Maybe an Engineer's vision. Hehehe
