Regain sensitivity after implant surgery
Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2013 9:24 pm
Guys,
It's been a couple of months since I've posted here. I had an AMS MS700LGX implanted July 9 and then needed a second surgery on August 6 to remove the implant, flush my penis and scrotum with five different flushes to get rid of a deep tissue bacterial infection in the right cavernosa space. A new 700LGX was implanted during the second surgery. After 4 weeks of antibiotic infusion therapy through a picc line into my heart, I am finally considered cleared of any infection.
During the second surgery, my surgeon inflated my prosthesis to about 4-3/4" and I stayed in the hospital for 4 days inflated to that size. Upon release he deflated the unit and asked me not to inflate until he gave the "GO AHEAD" which would be after home antibiotic infusion therapy was over. Since then I have been able to "stretch" my penis through inflation so I now am 5-3/4" using only 12 pumps and can get to 6" with 20 pumps, the last five being very hard to squeeze.
My urologist is also treating my low testerone with axiron and will begin using androgel 1.62%. I now have the sex drive and desire that I remember having when I was 25 years old.
Now to my problem: I have very limited sensitivity in my glans (head) of my penis. Although my wife enjoys my being able to have intercourse for 40 minutes or more, it is disappointing for both of us because I cannot have an orgasm and ejaculate. I thought that at 6 months after surgery, the sensation would have returned.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any suggestions?
Bob
