Getting a penile implant from a one Dr. Love? Meant to be!

[IndianRasputin]

Hi people, after having found this forum very useful, I’ve decided to give back and chronicle my journey here. Maybe it’s helpful for someone out there.

I'm a 40 year old male who's had ED for most of his life. I became so used to it that I basically avoided most sexual interaction or forced myself into it in hopes that it would make it better - it didn’t.

Doctors told me it was all in my head, so I tried everything from meditation to coaching for anxiety - didn’t help. Even in the best case scenario (turned on, in love, no stress, perfect location/setting) I would randomly not get it up, or lose it quickly.

Pills did kind of help but erections didn't last for very long, also a lot of positions never worked for me, particularly standing ones. I was told that's because I don't work out enough so I got fit and it made no difference.

When I recently moved countries and wanted a new prescription, they sent me to do a doppler ultrasound and discovered that I actually have a venous leak - and suddenly all the above made sense. I wish I had known 30 years ago.

Pills are having less and less effects and the side effects are getting stronger (massive headaches). After looking at my other options including injections, i've decided to go straight to nuclear and get an implant.

I figured I have probably about 10 years of looking pretty good and having lots of fun left in me and I realized how much my inability for erections has affected who I am dating, under what circumstances, and whether I approach women at all.

Currently 18 (7 inches) centimeters length and 13 centimeters (5.1 inches) girth. So if I lost length, it wouldn't be the end of the world, and women have told me before that I have “a soft head” so I guess I already don’t engorge a lot.

Side effect of the above issues was that I got pretty good at “everything else”, and I’m pretty active in the kink community, who is generally very supportive (most of my friends know of my plans), and I’m zero worried any of my play partners would find the implant weird. (Currently mostly getting comments like “can please I try when you’re healed?” or “does that mean you stay infinitely hard when I tie you up?”)

5 days to surgery, Dr.Love in Australia, who is high volume and seems well regarded from all I can gather. I’m slowly getting a bit stressed out though, because I am thinking about whether 15% erection fun with understanding people is better than potentially wrecking my dick forever….also stressed because I never had a major surgery. Having a bit of a cold feet moment and thinking of cancelling.

Any comments, tips, thoughts welcome.

Why is your sex partner typing up your implant?

Not tying his implant, tying him! He didn’t have an implant when he wrote his initial post.

Day 18

Everything is actually pretty painful no matter the position. Thought by this time it wouldn’t be only mild soreness but I feel pain in the tip and perineum and a weird pinching feeling reaching up the left side from my balls up to the penis painful enough to get on a higher painkillers again.

Gave along Massage to one of my partners yesterday maybe overdid it with physical activity? Not sure if the pain comes and goes overtime – I thought it was just declining. Anyone had the experience that it got better and worse and better and worse again?

[equusAz]

I've had surgeries for numers things in my life and I can say that this is normal. Pain comes and goes. You probably overdid it a bit. From what I read online 'pain' doesn't really fully go away for a minimum of a month to three months for some people and can last up to a year for others. Everyone experiences pain differently.

For me pain meds (especially NSAIDS) do NOT work well. Naproxin has a boomerang effect on me so I have to stay away from it.

Everyone is different. Just consult with your doctor for your case and go from there. As long as there is no major swelling and you aren't running a fever I wouldn't sweat it TOO much just yet.

Thanks for the reply mate, I’m starting to realise that I’m a bit spoiled when it comes for healing and I’m not the type of person who likes taking it easy… I haven’t been doing anything I consider strenuous but inversely some people think I was crazy going back to work after two weeks

Day 25

After a period of me getting better it’s now persistently getting more painful by the day. Consistent pain in the tip and still soreness in the perineum and the balls also certain motions create a strange pinching pain in the crease where my left leg meets the perineum…I can’t really figure out what it is.

Getting a bit to the point where the pain starts to seriously annoy me - allegedly it wouldn’t really hurt for more than 3 weeks.

Also don’t think a month without a check-in is good surgical practice. Would’ve really appreciated a two week check-in and would recommend anyone else who undergoes the procedure to try and ask for that because I think it will put your mind at ease and also make sure everything’s okay.

Also feeling a lot more exhausted from the healing than I thought and I’m normally a quick healer. So would definitely recommend people to plan in more downtime or less workload than they would expect based on what the Internet says.
