Pump going flat

Postby tbonegas » Sun Jun 30, 2024 5:16 pm

Hi all. Have had my lgx for 5 years. I have a problem with the pump going flat after about 6 or 7 pumps.
Has anybody got any idea what the problem could be please?

Are you possibly at maxed erection at that point?
If you let is set for a minute, can you pump more?

Tried Viagra, TRIMIX, CaverJet Inj, then nothing worked. Contacted another Urologist, Dr Kansas, Austin TX. Implanted an AMS700LGX: 18cm x 12mm w/2cm rte, 3/26/24.
So far so good.

No I am nowhere near maximum erection. The pump goes flat and stays flat until I press the deflate button.

Mine stated doing that at 13 months but it’s always after about 26-28 full pumps and I’m maxed out. At this point I’m definitely out of fluid. Could be an issue with the pump but most likely you have a leak and you’re running out of fluid. Time to go see your Dr. Hope I get 5-6 years out of mine before I have to get a revision. Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree for the most part. Especially if you used to get many more pumps in & you had a firmer erection

This is above FT's pay grade. See an implant surgeon. Please let us know what his diagnosis is for future reference. And above all, good luck.

Having been through that twice now I will say most likely you have a leak and have had fluid loss. Sorry about that, but get it checked out and let us know.

The pump on my Titan started to go flat after 4-6 pumps, with not much of an erection. My surgeon said it was probably a leak, though it lasted 16 years. Had the revision done two months ago.
