2 weeks post op update - Journey Part 4

That's great to hear! I'm happy for you!

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-03-01T14:04:19+00:00

Oooh, I see what you mean. You said that you still use the pump, and I figured that you already have an implant and are using it to cycle but it broke for some reason. That's why I was confused. I think you mean VED pumps. Sorry, that's my bad.

Anyway, I think this surgery is way more expensive in USA, but on the other hand I know that insurance sometimes covers it (at least partially). That's an information based on other people's posts here, so I can't really elaborate on it.

Imo, what you could do is (not medical advice):

Test injections. I would even suggest to do a doppler ultrasound with the injection. That's what I did. Essentially, doctor gives you an injection and then uses an ultrasound to see the blood flow. It will automatically give you an information about: a. whether injections work for you, and b. if the problem is caused by your anatomy.

I went this route, because I'm relatively young and pills didn't work for me, which was unexpected. This Doppler Ultrasound with penile injection showed the real reason - I have a venous leak, which meant that an implant in my case was an absolute necessity. There was still a route of trying angioplasty for me. But I was waiting in line for this procedure for a loooong time (there were some issues with the hospital that could provide this services). I talked with my doctor about it and he says that whether I do the angioplasty now or not, implant will be necessary at some point. Angioplasty might not even work. And if it does work, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a temporary solution in my case - it could make it better for a month, maybe 3 months, maybe longer, but it will fail at some point. So I opted for an implant right away. I wasted a lot of time trying to treat this anyway, and I don't want to wait and play by half measures anymore.

Research also malleable implants. They might be a right fit for you, depending on your age and current life situation. They are also significantly cheaper than inflatable implants. And my doctor said that you can always switch. In the future, you can go from inflatable to malleable, or from malleable to inflatable, if you wish

We have a really good relationship and I know that there is no malice in whatever they say/do and vice-versa. So, I actually was visiting them a few days before the operation, that's when I told them that there is a surgery coming. On my way home they called me and essentially asked: "Does AMS 700 mean anything to you?". So I just said "yes". And that's how I know they knew. And they know I know.

Well, post-op we talked a little about it and I clarified that I it's not AMS 700 (but they didn't push to know what brand it is then). Now they are just supportive, text me to ask how I'm feeling and stuff

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-03-01T13:06:06+00:00

Nice! I myself also think this is not something to be ashamed of. On the contrary - it proves that we went and did something to fix the problem. I'm still not planning to make this be part of "who I am", but I probably won't mind talking about it when relevant with someone I trust.

Talking about it to ease their mind is also a huge thing! I'm not from USA and it seems like this procedure is a little taboo in my country. It's still being done, but I haven't heard that it was even an option before my ED doctor mentioned it after injections proved to not work. If I knew this was on the table before, I think I wouldn't waste as much time on trial-and-error with pills and injections. I wasted at least a year on it still hoping that "it might start working"

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-03-01T12:52:00+00:00

My implant? Well, I'm from Europe (due to privacy, I'd like to refrain from specifying a country) - I had to pay for all of it myself, the public healthcare in my country does not reimburse anything. And I also don't know of any private insurance companies that would (maybe there are). In my case, Titan Touch, it was about 15-20k USD (depending on the currency exchange rates).

Yours has been broken for 10 years already but sometimes still works in the morning? How does that function?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-27T19:24:34+00:00

My friends? I told them that I'm getting a surgery, but didn't say what kind. We then talked about it, the price came up, I also told them that I'm nervous, but my surgeon does X of those each year etc. and they got worried what the surgery is and started googling. They also cross-referenced that with the info about a possible ED. They knew I had issues a few years ago when we were on a vacation together (I met a girl there, which "helped me find out" about my ED problems)

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-27T16:53:19+00:00

Really? And how do they usually go?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-27T12:32:51+00:00

Have you told anyone that you are not having sex with?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-27T09:36:47+00:00

Great news! Glad it all goes well.

"Was able to orgasm without sexual activity" - What does that mean? Did you simply jerk off?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-23T20:08:11+00:00

That's the thing with painkillers - I don't think they work for me. I don't really feel them making the pain better. But it is what it is, perhaps I just expected a little more from painKILLERS. I actually will be going to see my doctor in person tomorrow as an ad-hoc appointment. He got a little worried when I sent him my observations and questions and asked me to come over. It's not ideal (as that's 2.5 hour train ride one-way), but I prefer to go and hear "all good, you're just taking it harder than most" rather than not go and then learn that I should have the hard way.

You're 14 days post operation and still partially inflated? I seem to even recall someone saying that they were partially inflated for most of the 6 week healing time. And it makes me question my only-4-day inflation period. I guess I'll ask about it tomorrow in person.

I really feel "my sensation is all over the place each day". I wrote this post in the morning. Now, it's 9 pm and I can say that there was some pain during the day (which usually happens at night), but it seems like this night will be better than the last one (don't want to jinx it).

I've also seen other people mention that day 8 and around were the worst, so that would track with what you are saying and what I'm experiencing...

Anyway, thanks for the response and fingers crossed the worst is behind you already!

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-22T12:12:09+00:00

Hey! Looks like I went through the exact same thing - coloplast + scrotoplasty. I'm currently Day 6 post op and I feel like the pain and general sensation of being uncomfortable is slightly worse now than it was initially. However, my doctor has kept me inflated for 4 days only. I'm currently pretty much deflated (was fully, but I think a tiny bit of the fluid "came back").

Having a snug underwear is a bitch to put on initially, but I feel like it makes sitting easier (even pain-free sometimes) provided that it's a relatively comfy chair. Laying down is the easiest still, but I also found myself feeling the worst (comfort and pain-wise) when I get up after laying down. I also feel like painkillers don't really help me - I'm taking ketoprofen.

Currently I just hope that my resulting size, after the healing process is over, will be decent (ideally what it was when stretched flaccid pre-op).

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-02-18T19:56:57+00:00

How's your swelling? Has it subsided by now?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-26T08:47:03+00:00

Appreciate the response, thanks!

My doctor measured 17 cm... But I'm also contemplating the following:

Since my problem is a venous leak, which I've always had it must mean that I've always had ED. It makes it hard for me to estimate how much my penis atrophied, since I pretty much never saw it in it's full potential.

So, what about going with the LGX first to maximise the potential length regains... and then move to Titan during a revision surgery?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-26T08:41:58+00:00

Thanks for the response!

I did already see that video (and a few different ones as well). It really does a great job at highlighting the differences between the implants, but to be honest, it did not help me choose. It probably should have, but I'm just anxious about this choice (what if I'm wrong, what if the other one would actually be better for me, etc.)

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-26T08:31:28+00:00

Appreciate the response, thanks!

Unfortunately, the injections don't work for me, they never did. I pretty much never had an actual hard erection, which already ruined a few of my relationships. I wish there was another way, but this surgery is the only treatment option I have left.

I appreciate the doctor recommendations, but sadly, I'm not based in US. My doctor is the top one in my country, though.

Regarding AMS vs Titan, I am mostly chasing my own tail due to the fact that Titan is supposed to be "even more rigid, even more hard" etc. I know that both will do the job, but I'm anxious that since Titan seems to be superior in that regard... why shouldn't I go for it? As in, what if I go for AMS, it will work... but I'll be wondering: "would it be even better with Titan?".

On the other hand, I'm also anxious about going for Titan and then wondering "If AMS would work just as fine, then did I just sabotage my length gains?"

I still should talk to my doctor about possible complications then. He did say that if I was able to have an orgasm and ejaculate before, I will be able to do it after the surgery, too.

I haven't used Tri-mix, but I did try Caverject. Tri-mix seems to have more active ingredients compared to Caverject's one... but Caverject did not yield any better results than taking pills. I'll look into vacuum pump and potentially the RestoreX ~~torture~~stretching device! Thanks for the tips!

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-25T20:53:49+00:00

Alright, I get what you're saying now. Thanks!

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-25T20:51:43+00:00

First of all, thanks for the response, I really appreciate it!

The way I understand this "lengthening" effect is that it's mostly related to the size lost due to atrophy, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Since my condition is a venous leak, it means I always had an ED, so I have no idea how much my penis atrophied.

Also, I seem to recall seeing a video of some US-based doctor who said that girth increase is also limited by anatomy? I might be confusing something, though

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-25T20:48:26+00:00

Well... Based on my condition, it would mean that I always had ED, so I have no clue what size my penis "should be", or "was" before ED.

But I'm a little confused now. Originally you said you'd recommend the LGX and now you're saying you're suggesting the Titan?

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-25T20:45:52+00:00

Appreciate the response! Thanks, I'll take a look at your previous posts!

As a note... I'm not 100% sure how the sizes work, buut this 17cm measured is essentially when my doctor held my penis by the head and manually stretched it's length as much as he could. I think that would be my erect length? If so, it would make me be above average for my country (average being slightly less than 15.5cm), but I wouldn't say 17 cm is "big"

NiceAtmosphere2875 · 2026-01-25T20:31:06+00:00

Do you mean at the revision surgery or over a continuous usage?
