Implant + TEP procedure Journal - 34yr old Australian

Hey,

I don't know what happned but this mornign I went to pee, had some pain. Wasn't too bad. 15m later went to the bathroom (#2), had some leakage/secretions after. Since then I have been in excruciating pain, glans are burning, stabbing pain throughout the shaft, scrotum aches, perinium and anus is sore. This is to the point I cannot walk.

It's been one hour, I have taken paracetamol and ibuprofen, no difference. This use to happen before, when I would have leakage but I thought it had improved with the prostatitis medication.

I dont know what to do, if I go to emergency, they will just provide pain killers, if I see a urologist here, he will just want me to go back to the urologist interstate who did the surgery.

I am going to take some stronger pain killers and wait it out.

If this isn't due to prostatitis then has anyone any idea what this could be? I have done the tests the urine and blood tests again to check for infection, I will have the results on Monday.

Anyone have any idea what this could be? I am really struggling here.

Ouch. That sounds like some kind of infection, especially with the secretions. Could just be a common UTI.
I'd definitely get it checked. Is there an urgent care center nearby?
Prayers and God Bless.

Damn man I’m so sorry you are going through all this. :/ I hope everything gets better and improves for you and stays that way.

Thanks guys, I received the blood test results and urine test results. No infection, no UTI. White blood cell count is normal.

My prostate was inflamed, and doc says that the penis being warm is a sign of inflammation.

Not sure how/why I’ve had this result, it seems to be uncommon. As I had a sub-coronal incision, pump placement is difficult. Surgeon can fix that, and the auto-inflation with a basic revision. However, the extreme pain post leakage is stil a mystery.

Have started taking slow release naproxen (anti-inflammatory) as well as colchicine. It’s possible at times the prostate is being inflamed and secrets pre-ejaculat causing pain. It’s also possible there has been some nerve damage.

One thing is really like to know if anyone can comment on is, my left side of the penis seems to be thicker and rounded and the right seems to be flat. Almost like the left side engorges and inflates more, the left cylinder also seems to deflate more. Perhaps this is a defect? . The pump id also kind of twisted in the scrotum, not sure if that would have any affect on the cylinders.

I’m just waiting it out for now until I can see my surgeon in July.

Appreciate the support as always.

Sounds very relieving to get that news from the doc!

Regarding the different sides being engorged and one flatter, is that difference while inflated or deflated?

Both. My left side seems to deflate more, and also inflate more. This has just started recently, 1-2 months ago this was not happening.

Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks,

I know my right side deflates a lot more because I have scarring on the right side. The scar tissue is like a rubber band that squeezes my right cylinder till it's totally deflated, much more than my left non-scarred size deflates.

How does this affect the device when it's inflated?

Update

I have managed to get an appointment with my original surgeon for the 26th June with a possible revision surgery on the 27th June.

I would like to ask members here if they have ever come across the following issue:

When laying down and inflated (penis pointed up), my right cylinder doesn't seem to inflate as much, it is flatter and my left cylinder is hard, round and more inflated. When standing, both cylinders are hard and round.

The same thing happens when deflated, if I point my deflated penis up, there is less fluid in the right side of my flaccid, if I stand up, it seems to inflate a bit.

Any idea what could be happening?

Any idea what this bulge is? I can feel two tubes in there or perhaps one tube and a bundled up cylinder?

It straightens out a bit when inflated.

I have had a lot of issues and am just collecting as much information as I can for when I see my surgeon next week.

Any advice is appreciated.
