Implanted 4/17 and have some questions
Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 12:26 pm
Hello
I posted in the introduction section a little about me but wanted to ask a question or 2 here.
I was implanted with a Coloplast Titan on April 19th and my surgeon was Dr. Aaron Lentz of Duke Urology in Raleigh NC.
Dr. Lentz came highly recommended as he has done 100's of implants using both Scrotal and IP methods.I chose to go with the IP method as I am very healthy and Dr Lentz said the implants stood up better with IP in his opinion and recovery was better. I also opted to have a Vasectomy while I was under the Epidural Tap.15 days post op and I have no swelling at either scrotum nor incision but damn do I have pain in the tip of my penis and can feel the tips of the Implant hitting up against the glans and can move the end of my penis straight and the pain almost disappears but goes back to hurting when curve goes back to 30% .
As well I suffer from Peyronie's and had about a 30% curvature before surgery and still do with the Implant about 30-40 % inflated , which Dr Lents said I need to leave as is until follow up visit on June 12 . I have read that most guys begin to cycle in a few weeks after the surgery but Dr Lentz said no to that and that would jeopardize penis length. He did not need to put in extenders and came in the day after surgery in the hospital and said he thought that I would be very pleased with things and that " I had good anatomy", whatever that means.
This damn thing is so uncomfortable that I do not think I can go another 5 weeks with this thing inflated like it is and I drive a lot for work and not to mention just walking.Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice as to how to manage this until the return visit??
Thanks so much
