curvature after the implant?

Postby dmikesaw » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:01 am

I have some curvature (about 45-55 degrees to the right) after my implant. Anyone else experience this? The nurse taped my penis (and catheter tube) horizontally over to my right thigh and I am wondering if this may have caused the curvature?

I'm a little more than a week post-op, and I've "listed" one way or the other depending on how things are postitioned down there. I've kept trying to remember to reposition myself due north when I think about it (which is fairly often, since it's tough not to).

I would say that as long as you're don't keep it pushed to the right, it'll adapt to a straightened position. I'm assuming there was no natural curvature in that direction prior to implant. To ease your mind, it would probably be a good idea to check with your doctor.

Hi dmikesaw. I'd call the doc, right away, if I were you. LGX_Man

when did you recieve your implant? if it was just a few days ago I wouldn't be too concerned but I would start storing it point straight up as you start to heal, like lgx said, it would be a good idea to check in with the doc as well.
