For all men who have an implant how many had severe ED?

[MiddleAgedMiami]

Sounds very much like my situation.

I do have 2 kids and my partner doesn't think I have ED so I have to factor that in.

It's tempting to consider it and also to get experiences from those who don't have full ED.

Did you lose much length of girth given you could get erections fine in the right circumstances before?

What is sensitivity like now?

Thanks.

I am still very early in my recovery so still dealing with swelling and I was left partially inflated, but I can already tell I will have lost nothing in length or girth. The underside of my penis is a little numb from the recent surgery, but other than that I have full feeling. I am still able to make my penis independently move by pulsing it, and if I put on a porno my glans fills up just as before. I haven’t been cleared for sex or jerking off at this point, but I really do want to, so that’s a very good sign.

Most men who lose length lose it because they were impotent for long periods of time and their penises have atrophied, combined in some cases with doctors who under-sized them. If you do eventually decide to get the implant be sure to go with one of the high volume doctors who is known to specialize in the procedure and who has low infection rates. That’s what I did. So far so good.

Yeah I figured those that lost size was due to not having an erection for a while.

So basically in someone like me who can get a good erection some aspects of the erection remain the same?

Can you get any blood into the corpus csvernosum at all to enlarge it what sever without the pump?

Thanks.

Yeah, since I had full ability before the procedure, what I’m seeing is that the implant is basically a scaffolding for your erection. It will make you rock hard, but with stimulation your glans and spongiosum (the underside of your dick) will still fill up. I doubt I’d be able to get much or anything in the way of blood flow into my corpora cavernosum now that the implant is there. By placing the cylinders into your cavernosum you are displacing the spongy tissues that used to become engorged with blood for a natural erection.

I’m 7 days out at this point and I’m partially inflated, I’d say at 70-80% and just based on my feeling now and the fact that I can flex my dick by thinking and get full glans by looking at porn, all that tells me that once I’m fully healed I’m going to have the best of both worlds- the always on ability to get hard anytime no matter the anxiety, and I’ll still have the ability to do some of those things with my dick that make it seem more “natural.”

It’s still a big decision. I almost can’t believe I actually did it. Considering the risks if it goes bad. But my insurance approved me, I had a wonderful doctor who trained with Dr. Eid, and I figured that this was my window. Who knows if the insurance would approve me later on.

Lots to consider in choosing if the implant is right for you.

I couldnt keep an erection regularly, say 30-60 percent success. I think the mental aspect has some merit, but i know in my 20s i couldnt keep it down and had to think of turn offs to not cum so fast. Fast forward to my late 40s And if i was turned off for any stupid reason or we changed positions it went soft so fast.

Pills worked for a while, but knowing what i know now i would get an implant asap as soon as ed kicked in. Pills sucked for me, hated the side effects. You made the right choice in my opinion.

chances are your ED worse than you think lol we all like to cope and downplay our issues to protect our ego and mental health

I had severe ED for many years due to an accident that affected that area. I was on medication for years until it finally stopped working. I also tried shots a few times and DID NOT like them, mostly because I do not have a steady hand.

The last 5 years prior to IPP I was strictly using a VED with band for erections when needed and that was few and far between. There was 2 and half years I did not use or have any erection and I atrophied a good bit.

Last March I was implanted and it's been a life changer. No I'm not the size I use to be due to atrophy BUT I'm still above average and have a great sex life with my wife. I feel normal again and my confidence is back. It's nice to look forward to sex and being able to perform as normal man again. Like others, I should've done the surgery much sooner.

The only fear for me would be somehow messing it up so I never had a working penis again.

Its an easy decision if you have severe ED, but in my case it's mild to moderate... I can have successful. Sex 90% of the time and am often hard again quickly.. But It rarely stays 100% during that time.. Sort of. Fluctuates between 95 and 75%.

It rarely goes so soft that I can't keep up sex... Maybe once in 10 times. It's just not as hard as I would like.

Tbh I find it hard to tell exactly how bad my ED actually is.

Some seem to think that ED is anything other than rock hard erections that last hours and my Partner thinks I have no ED whatsoever because I can get hard enough for sex and play over 10 or 15 minutes.

I guess the biggest question is how common is it that implant surgery destroys your penis forever if you go to the best high volume Implanter privately own money.. Which I would as I would never cut corners.

In my opinion you sound like you’re a ways off from needing an implant. I was outright failing to get hard at all 50-70% of the time with new hookups from anxiety over not getting hard (a vicious cycle). Even in my case, getting an implant was an extreme decision and a risky one, considering I could still always get it up with my partners and a few regular hookups. I think if I were in your situation where it’s just not as hard as you like it but still hard, I’d hold off. I’d wait until you’re failing more outright. Once you go this route there’s no turning back. In a perfect world I’d like to have waited to at least 50 before going to this. Because at our ages we’re looking at multiple revisions over the course of a lifetime, and with each revision the risks of complications/infections goes up.

I probably need to give injections a fair crack first , and find a way to fix pelvic floor dysfunction as I don't think there's much wrong from a Vascular point.

If injections could give me a reliable hard on once a week that would be fine.

How are you finding your implant so far?

[Totitoti]

Interested to know how many guys who have implants got it because they wanted to perform better without pills or injections and not because they had severe ED?

Mine is mild depending on my stress and pain levels. Not going to lie the thought of never having to worry about pills or performing again is tempting, but I can get a good erection and have good maybe not great sex already so it's far.more of a conundrum than if you have no alternative.

Thanks.

I used pills for 10 years, went to injections and they were fantastic i loved them, but i was going to get divirced at 56 and I did not want to have to deal with. Injections being a free agent so i used the shots for only 1 year and i got implanted and I am so so happy I did.

Depends on how you define "severe." IMO, if you can't get it up, when you need to get it up when you want/need to get it up, it's SEVERE.

I got an implant because ED drugs didn't work for me any more and I couldn't get it up when I wanted/needed to get it up & I didn't want to try injections.

So, the implant was the best choice for me.

Yeah but this is confusing.

I can get a 100% erection at times... But when I need it I often don't. Does that mean my ED is severe?

Then members say only get implant if you literally cannot get an erection ever as you don't want to ruin a penis that does work physically.

Physically my ED would be seen as mild, but because of the stress involved it would seem moderate or worse.

Therefore whilst implants are tempting the fear or ruining a working penis is there.
