Penile Implant Journey - 33 Years Old

Postby YC1990 » Thu Oct 26, 2023 1:04 pm

Hey everyone,

I'm a 33-year-old man who has been through quite a journey after a penile injury two years ago. Unfortunately, it resulted in venous leakage, and even after a failed venous ligation surgery, I find myself in the position of needing a penile implant. I've set my surgery date for November 6th, and I've opted for the AMS LGX.

I'm reaching out to this community for advice, guidance, and support before the surgery. If any of you have been through a similar experience or have valuable insights to share, please don't hesitate to do so.

I'm planning to keep you all updated on my progress, both pre and post-surgery, and I hope my journey can be a source of information and encouragement for others facing similar situations. Your support means a lot to me.

Thank you in advance for any advice, well-wishes, or shared experiences.

Looking forward to being part of this community and sharing this journey with you all.

Welcome and best of luck to you.
I am more than twice your age, also with venous leakage, and am scheduled a month after you.
Who is your surgeon? Are you going penalscrotal or infrapubic? Are you married or single?
I know, a lot of questions
Age 70
Pills didn't work well. Trimix worked good for 3 years, then only fair for following 3 years but need a cock ring in conjunction.
Implant 12/6/2023 Dr. Eid
Coloplast Titan 20 cm with right side trimmed to 19 cm. No RTE. Classic pump.

Hey,

Good luck to you as well

Hopefully, you have a high volume, experienced implant surgeon?

Yes. He is a high volume andrologist surgeon and he is experienced. The first in Greece with AMS implants. I hope everything goes well.

I really wish you a speedy recovery, will you do penoscrotal or infrapubic? could you ask this doctor if he also does revisions? We are waiting for you here to make your recovery easier

Penile scrotal. Yes, he does revisions, but this is a future decision. I hope the first implant lasts more than 10 years with no mechanical issues. Thank you, and I appreciate your help.

That's around half price of US costs. Pls keep us updated.
