If we skip the hiding factor! Then what do you say?
You were so positive about your surgery now i do not know what happened to you. I think you have to give some time and asked your doctor about his other patients and discussed them about concealment. May be you get some positive feedback!
Keep calm you will be right :--)))
So, its been 8 months since my surgery and i am not seeing the sort of results that i expected. I was positive that i would get the results as time passed but quite honestly i am not sure any more.
My concerns regarding my malleable are:- Concealability. Obstruction in movement. And Lack of comfort because of constant re-adjustments.
You are right i might learn from talking to some other patients regarding these and it can change my outlook. And i am still fairly new and seeking answers. So i am going to be positive but at the same time i want to give a very realistic point of view.
If i had known about these issues earlier. I wouldn't have chosen a malleable. I would have planned better and gone with an IPP. And if things don't improve, i will switch in the coming years.
Brotherman thank you for your response.
IPP are not reliable specially if you are not having it from well known doctors who are in America. There are many people with IPP here which start having problems after 2 to 3 years and again they have to pay high amount and they have to do surgery.
You are right about this. There are such valuable threads by senior members of this community that can tell us more about the pros and cons about the IPPs. I don't have that experience, so i can only tell about my malleable journey.
Infection rates are high in IPP as compared to malleables.
I wonder, why are satisfaction rates higher with IPPs as compared to malleables? And why are they considered as Gold standard?
I think malleable is the right option specially for the young men having ED. You just have to compromise on hiding it otherwise most of time you do not have to replace it in your whole life. Maybe other malleable is better than rigicon like tactra?
I am 34. And i have been very active. I have given up on playing sports because i can't sprint.
Can i Jog?
Yes. No problem with running at a low pace.
So, Why can't i run fast?
Because i wear compression shorts while doing any outdoor activity. and despite of that, my dick moves around from the original stowed position. Also it adds stress at the tip whenever any sort of pelvic pressure is applied. And that stress leads to pain.
Why does it pain in downward position?
The tips of the malleable are under a constant pressure when stowed downwards. This pressure builds up in your glans. And when it is pressed against the fabric of underwear. It starts from being uncomfortable to really painful in two to three hours.
So why not stow it upwards while playing?
Because, i can't bend with the dick pointing towards my abdomen. It Obstructs my movements.
Is it just the compression underwear that is creating this problem?
No, any tight brief that keeps the junk in place has the same issues. And without tight briefs, you can't conceal a malleable.
Is the malleable not a perfect fit for anybody?
No. It's not really a fit for because i like to stay active. I didn't know that i will have to trade a lifestyle all together. But, If you like to work out in moderation, you can live with a malleable.
What about my other concerns?
I have to work in an environment wearing formals. I can't conceal my dick downwards like i used to, there is always a noticeable bulge. This is prominent, even when i'm sitting. I've seen people getting uncomfortable because of this and i've gotten glances as well. I don't want people to get uncomfortable around me.
So, what do i do about it?
i wear a scrotal support everyday, with my dick pointing upwards and in either left or right hand side.
Does it conceal it properly?
No, but gets real close.
Is it comfortable?
No.
What happens when i shift to casuals?
Nobody can tell, if i wear casuals. I've switched to larger sized t-shirts and shirts, which falls below the belt area and covers the little bulge exists in my pants.
So casuals are more comfortable?
No. Comfort is the same. But it just hides better.
To conclude.
What i want to tell you guys from my experience is that, you can have the best of an implant and a normal life by probably going for an IPP. You won't always need a hard dick to get through your day but the comfort of having something under your skin all the time. A constant displeasure can become a concern at the back of your head.
Most of the doctors in their videos in YouTube paint a very rosy picture about the malleable implant. But not all is hunky dory really. Nobody told me about this earlier. So, after 8 months, would i do it again? NO. I would wait, plan better and maybe go for an IPP.
If i do come across some developments positive or negative, I will post them here. It's not like i'm switching overnight.
