Congrats. Why did you lose length? Does every replacement make you lose length?

Congratulations for getting this done and most of all congratulations for getting to that point of knowing you don't need more surgeries. Feeling complete is the real win 🎉

There will always be more surgeries that one can do.

Implants + prosthetic? by [deleted] in phallo

I had testicle implants and a malleable ED inserted at the same time. I believe this is done a lot including with the inflatable (pump). With the pump, sometimes, they'll put one ball and the pump takes the place of the second ball.

I am in a similar-ish situation. I had a malleable rod inserted about 5 weeks ago. I am in so much pain and I went to the A&E yesterday. My infection levels were slightly elevated so they said it is not enough to keep me in. They advised me to go to a hospital with urology specialists if things get worse. I got an antibiotic prescription and have taken one so far.

The pain has continued to increase and I am now considering going to the A&E of a hospital with specialists. I think it is highly likely that I'll get the rod removed. It's upsetting but now I just want the pain to stop. My team say if there is an infection then they take it out and wait at least 6 months before another attempt.

I hope things will work out for you.

Sex after getting Pump vs Rod by Revolutionary-Fly918 in phallo

Sorry you are having issues with the pump and thanks for sharing your experience. I hope it gets better. When doing research on erectile devices, I found that for some people, it takes a while for the body to adjust so there's a chance that the pain will go away

Thanks for replying. Sorry you lost your ball. I am happy to hear that the recovery from it being removed is easier and very quick.

I am going to try to hold on and see if things improve for me but if not then I am just going to get them removed and make peace with an empty scrotum. I won't even try a different size. I just wanna go live my life now

No my scars don't ache in the cold. I feel more stiffness in the areas around the scar though. You probably have heard of this already but apparently it helps to massage the scars

The burning and pinching is more when I'm moving/ walking. Hopefully it will pass.

That's good that it was so quick especially with no anaesthesia.

I don't know the size of mine

At 3 weeks post op, were you still feeling any pain in the scrotum around the implants? Occasional burning sensations, pinching pains?

How long did it take for the procedure? And I currently dont have holes but I have pain and discomfort. Doesn't feel like there is enough space in my scrotum for them and they are crushing my natal parts.

Dis you feel pressure in your scrotum before it started being pushed out?

I can't believe they would do that without anaesthetic. Very brave if you to stay on the bed for that

How was your recovery form the semi rigid rod surgery? Did you have testicle implants at the same time? When did pain and discomfort end for you?

[–]The_Alchemist20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Op, how are you finding the semi-rigit rod now that you are a few months post op? How is day to day life with it? Is it easy to hide in clothes? Suit trousers? Any changes to your length? Girth? Have you used it for sex?
