Hello. Sometimes i use two hands to inflate the prosthesis maximally. Could this damage the corpus spongiusom?

Everything that I have read says that this would be impossible.

Well I would say no as well.
If so, the whole concept of an implant would fail and we'd have seen multiple reports on this issue. I have read a lot and never seen anything about this.
Furthermore, it is not listed among potential risks neither from implant manufacturers, nor from leading docs. And I think they list a lot of potential risks...

Furthermore, I personally feel the rough squeezing when deflating would be more damaging.
After all, we 'crush' it between our squeezing grip and the hard artificial cylinder. But even that seems to be tolerable.
