Out of fluid

Postby Alax2869 » Thu Jul 25, 2024 8:36 am

So I am about 8 months post op and everything is good.
I started to cycle 6 weeks after Implanted and have gained all my lost size back plus about a half inch I girth.
Question is, I have maxed out because I pump now until bulb gets flat and out of fluid.
Probably 30-35 pumps.
It's rock hard but should I continue to cycle daily?
I don't see the point if I have maxed out.

It took me about 13 months of twice daily cycling to reach the point of no more fluid. In my opinion I think you are totally as big as it will allow you to be so I would only use pump up for sex or personal use, or at least 1-2 times a week. I generally use mine 2-3 times a week but in a few cases when I was sick or really busy I went 5-6 days without pumping and it was a bit harder to get maxed out but otherwise still takes 30-32 pumps to get there. All is good. Been 27 months and counting.

question is if you are maxed out and satisfied with the ultimate outcome is there still a role for continuous cycling. When I spoke to my surgeon, he recommended either regular sexual activity or cycling at least 1-2x/week even for only 1 minute. There is wear and tear that occurs to the implant especially in guys with peyronie's with the implant being cycled and force with sexual activity. Although the manufacturers claim and extraordinary amount of cycles (50,000 or more), in reality, inside your body its going to be a lot less.

I've had a pretty great sex life last 2 years (sometimes even multiple times/day) and now I have fractured tubing and need revision.

I would say you might want to get it looked at. Most Drs will put more saline in the reservoir than you need so your pump shouldn't really go flat at all. But it would probably depend on the size of your implant and size of reservoir. I don't know anything about the titan brand, but the AMS ones usually have more saline than the implant will hold. But then again some Drs do not fill the reservoir to capacity, it should be in your surgical notes how much they put in.

I think I would start by asking the Dr what size reservoir he used and how much saline he put in and then ask if that's enough to max out the cylinders. You don't want a leak down because that's no fun at all. But like I said some Drs don't fill to capacity ( I've seen where they used a 100cc reservoir and only put 65cc's in it. ) so I would start by asking your Dr, better safe than sorry later.
