Where is located. Is it near the base of penis. Could it be where the tube connects from the pump to the cylinder ? Do you have the same thing on the other side. I can feel where mine connects. I can also feel where the tube transitions from the rear of the cylinder to the inflatable part. Almost like there is a ring around it. Could also be where it kinks upon deflation as the lgx in the flacid state deflates to normal size the tube bunches up a little. I feel that when flacid on one side only. Just a couple of thoughts.

It is located almost in the center on the left cylinder.

Ed, I have the same thing -- on both sides. Per Kramer, they are the folds of the deflated cylinders and no problem. I can actually very slowly press on one and it will go away -- and pop up somewhere else. They go away when inflated, and I'm guessing (hoping) that ft er my dick stretches out some, there will be more room for the deflated cylinders so that they don't have fold and "bunch up" a little.

Phew! Thats exactly what happens. I swear, my doctor spent all of 5 minutes with me when I got activated, so I didn't ask a lot of questions. Yep, I can move the bunch around. I didn't know what the heck it was. Thanks Radio!

If you can't feel it when it's inflated, that's a good sign. If it were a defective cylinder, it would get worse when inflated as opposed to disappearing. I think you're okay but it never hurts to visit the urologist anyway. It could be something that he or she can manipulate and get straightened out as opposed to waiting until it goes away by itself.

I would go to the urology clinic no matter what.

Ed
Agree with Bob. I feel it on my left cylinder when deflated. And like he said. Its a fold and just bunches up cause your dick deflated & flacid becomes smaller than the cylinder. Its gotta go somewhere. But i also agree with Donnie. For piece of mind mention it to the doc. I think you will be fine.

I have it a little on the right side. After deflation, I pump once or twice and it's gone.

No problem, they are nothing. I have many lumps (like pimples, tiny stones) when deflated. In many parts of the shaft, especially when the implant folds . Remember that the cylinder is very smooth. Your lumps are just parts of your tissue that " did not adheres perfectly to the silicon of cilynders" . Remember there is also the " pseudo capsule" between your corpora cavernosa and the cilynders. Pseudo capsule is ruvid, not smooth. Also when inflated, if i search the lumps with fingers, i can
feel them... two years for me, no problem.

Thanks maxxxx and Bigred. This is reassuring to hear. Thought I was through with worrying. :x

I want to thank everyone on FT. FT was instrumental in my decision to go for the implant. And now Is instrumental in answering all of my concerns. Really, if I didn't have this forum, I don't know what I would do!

Amen!
I think it takes a fair amount of bravery to make -- and follow through with -- the decision we have all made. I can't imagine how I would have done it myself, without the information, insights and support from the men of FrankTalk. It would be such a lonely, lonely path.

And being that I was assured that it was nothing to worry about, I put the implanted dick to good use tonight. :D
