A question I haven't seen yet.

[Old Guy]

I have read several hundred posts by the brothers and never saw a concern about that, though I may have missed it.

I would agree with Old Guy on page one of this thread.

Thanks crazyjoe.
Again, there are thousands of men out there with an implant who never mention it.

My penis is cold to the touch when inflated. I could never use it with someone else without wrapping it in a warm "blanket" first. Anyone else have this problem?

What do you mean by "blanket"?

I originally started this thread since I'm a little worried when it comes to my implant surgery because of scrotal pain issues. My left epididymis began aching about a year ago. It got so bad that this summer I had micro-denervation of the spermatic cord to cut the nerves to my left testicle. The surgery was a success and I no longer feel pain. As I was healing the right epididymis began aching but has stayed very mild. I really only feel it when sitting or Igo poking around down there.
I've had two ultrasounds; a CT scan and countless urine cultures and all tests indicate I have two healthy testicles and epididymis.
As I understand it an implant is a standalone entity and doesn't care what's going on with your testicles so long as you don't have any UTIs. Successful surgery is dependent upon not getting an infection and proper placement and function of the implant.
That said, I'm just as guilty as many men because my mind often goes to a worst-case scenario. I worry that something is wrong down there, but my urologist couldn't find it and now my implant will not work out because of it. I guess I was just wondering if anyone has had or knew of anyone who had to have implant removed for reasons other than an infection or botched surgery. Specifically, because of the patient having an unidentified issue in their scrotum. Thank you.

What happens if you were to get a UTI after you're implanted?

Nothing that will impact an implant as far as I know. You just need to clear the UTI up with antibiotics.

Ok is it the same with STDs? I've never had UTI or STDs so not sure what treatments are involved. Are there any that require a needle to the penis?

I'm also wondering how an implant might interfere if one were to have prostate cancer treatments/surgery. Most people here had their implant surgery after prostate treatment but what about those that'll have to go through with it after getting an implant?

Nuance, you are starting to go down the rabbit hole with these "what if" questions. I doubt you will find someone on here who has been through each scenario you keep dreaming up. I see you're going through old posts and asking questions to guys who haven't been on in years. Having an implant does not prevent you from receiving treatment for future medical issues.

Sorry guys, I have to agree with 68catfan. It never fails. I'll sit down to catch up on FT. As soon as I see that the last post is from this member. I know that it'll likely be some far fetched oddball question, frequently asked of a seldom poster or a no longer visiting member.
Come on, there is not a monster living under your bed. Implants are popular because they're reliable & work quite well.
Oh, for what little it might mean. AMS out sells Coloplast in the marketplace. Not to say that either is better than the other. They're just different. If you're not willing to live with the peculiarities of a Titan, don't get a Titan. Just my obsevation on this. The failure rate that many members obsess over seems to me to be predominately in Titans. Again, not that Titans are worse that AMS products. But if you want a Titan, be prepared for the chance that you might need more revisions.

Appreciate the reply but like you guys know, implants may not be for everyone (depending on what they can handle). I just want be educated in every aspect before getting one since I'm stuck with it for life and there's no going back. In a general population, implants aren't that common (definitely not like breast implants) so if I were to find myself in the ER for anything related, I want to be sure they are providing the right treatment and not just winging it.

To answer your implied question. Most members advise to not get an implant until there is nothing to go back to. If you're not relatively convinced that your erections are gone forever. Then it is generally advised to not get an implant. In other words, as you seem to understand. It should be seen as permanent.
You can temper this advice with the frequent statement from implanted men that they wish they'd gotten their implant many years earlier.
For what little my words might mean to you. I've read of several members that were very young at implantation. One was 18 as I remember. None of them said they regretted it.
Where in this process are you?
You mention being in an ER. Most likely if you end up in an ER then you're in serious condition. Not many life threatening things happen to your dick. The staff is well trained, they know a penile implant when it shows up on tests like xrays & scans. If you're conscious then you can tell them.
As for how common implants are? Not many men are standing on street corners shouting the fact that they have an implant. Lots of members here have had a family member with an implant. Even many women deny that they've gotten breast implants. Just looking at the number of implants sold by just AMS & Coloplast alone shows that there is a lot of implants in use.
Now, perhaps in your country implants are not as common as in North America. Speaking of which. Where do you live??
That monster under the bed isn't as powerful as you fear.
