Pain in the Gland

Hey I started cycling 3.5 weeks after surgery. I had intercourse that night and things felt pretty good. No real pain. I'm now at week 5 and the more I cycle the more pain I feel as the tips protrude into the gland. Intercourse has become more painful as time goes on as I feel the tips are going to break through the skin. Is this feels normal for 5.5 weeks after surgery?

It's still early days. You need to give it more time

You might try backing off on how much you pump up prior to intercourse. I find that if it's about 70-80%, it's a lot more comfortable. You still want to do the daily pump up to 100% for tissue stretching, though.

I have the Coloplast Titan. I'm just surprised I'm having more pain during intercourse now then 2 weeks earlier when I first used it. I've tried backing off the inflation level but my right tip feels like a nail in my gland.
