Problems deflating the Titan One Touch prosthesi

[Fernando1998]

Hi everyone. I am 5 weeks post-op from a 3-component penile implant (Coloplast Titan One Touch). The surgery went well and the pump works perfectly for inflation.

However, I am having a lot of trouble with the deflation process. I can start the deflation, but it reaches a point where it stops, leaving the cylinders with a certain amount of rigidity and a high angle (semi-erection).

When I went back to the clinic, the doctor was able to quickly deflate the prosthesis to a much more comfortable and natural level. I just can't seem to replicate that same level of deflation on my own.

Could you please share some tips or techniques to achieve a full deflation? I'm struggling to get the base of the cylinders to empty completely. Thanks in advance

5 weeks post op is still quite early I think, but I would guess that you just need to squeeze your penis as you deflate, so hold the button and squeeze. I know its advertised as one touch like you just press it once and it goes from erect to fully soft without doing anything else, but for me its never really worked that way.

Do you have the same Coloplast Titan One Touch prosthesis? How do you handle the deflation process? Does yours stay rigid in a semi-erect state even after pressing the deflation valve and squeezing the penis?

Maybe I just haven't mastered the right technique yet to get it completely flaccid after deflating. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, brother.

You are always going to have a semi, it's just how the Titan is. The first few months the cylinders remain pretty stiff.
To deflate I hold the button down while squeezing my penis. One layer of towel over my penis helps. After a warm shower I can usually deflate to the smallest flaccid I can achieve.

Thanks a lot, brother, for your advice. What I feel is that I’m squeezing the penis correctly from the head to the base, even pressing my fingers inward to try and squeeze the section of the cylinders that remains inside the body. It seems like they empty, but when I stand up, they fill back up and become rigid again. I know it’s a technical issue because, at the clinic, the doctor deflated the cylinders much more than I am able to. What is the precise technique? And what do you mean by using a towel?

When you squeeze, make sure you are squeezing as hard as you can. You’re really want to flatten it. You’re not going to hurt anything. Also, as you are squeezing the bulb, see if you could extend your fingers down and press on your perineum at the same time to push fluid out of your proximal cylinders. Then give the bulb a little squeeze to stop the flow. Then do the whole thing again.
