Dear Readers
I received a question this week from one of my readers concerning the implant and riding a motorcycle. While I don't ride a bike, the implant has become so comfortable that it is very easy to forget all about it during the day. It's designed to be internal and completely out of the way of everyday activities. The cylinders are completely internal inside the penis and when flacid, are completely deflated. The reservoir is internal inside the body. The only part of the pump that isn't protected is the pump located inside the scrotum. Shortly after receiving the implant my right testicle was pretty tender and sore. Now that I am completely healed, the pump doesn't seem to effect my testicle at all. I have rode a regular bike on an 18 mile ride with no pain or dificulty what so ever.
A complaint that is often heard is some men have lost some length of erection following implant surgery. While this still remains a small percentage of men, it is a valid concern among us men. We are used to a particular length andnobody enjoys losing so much as a single milimeter off our erections. Erectile Dysfunction is due to different disease states. We have to realize that when ED happens, we need to treat this condition as an urgent problem and get help right away. Delaying treatment means trouble down the road. Erections are needed to bring vitally needed oxygen to our penis. Lack of oxygen will result in tissue becoming stiff and possible scar tissue forming. The tissue inside the penis needs to be kept be kept stretched and flexible to retain both girth and length. Guys, if you are having ED, you need to see your doctor for viagra, cialis, a vacuum pump, or even start using shots of a vaso-active drugs. You need to keep having several erections every week. You cannot let impotence stop you from having erections and also having ejaculations to keep your penis healthy. I spent 17 years working in Histopathology or the study of tissue. I know from experience and training how necessary this is. In addition, while I'm on my soapbox, if you smoke, quit. Yeah, yeah I know its tough. I was an idiot to. I quit about 18 years ago after starting smoking in the Army. Get your high cholesterol under control, and exercise. I developed Insulin Dependant Diabetes over 20 years a go. For me, it was a wake up call. I changed the way I lived. Watched what I ate, got fit, and saw my doctor. When I developed ED, I got it treated. With my implant, I haven't lose any length. My penis is still healthy and able to stretch because of the steps I took years ago. I'm hoping that you are keeping yourself as healthy as you can.
Take care

ReplyDeletePost surgical swelling is very common and natural to expect some swelling. On the other hand, severe swelling due to a large amount of fluid build up is not natural and should be reported to your doctor as soon as possible. Some minor bleeding around the surgical site such and some blood drops on dressing is normal and expected. If a dressing or your underwear becomes semi bloody from discharge get in touch with your doctor immediately. Any questions or concerns that you have following any surgery should be directed to your doctor as soon as is practical. It's their job to evaluate the situation and if necessary, either see you or direct you to go to the emergency room. Follow their discharge orders. I'm not a doctor, so any advice that I offer you would just be common sense advise to see your doctor. Following my surgery, a couple days post op, my penis looked like it had been in a train wreck from some swelling, bruising and a little seepage around the sutures. The penis is one of the most vacularized regions on a man's body. It works by hydraulic action utilizing blood flow. So any surgical trauma to the penis is often going to result in bruising, swelling and some bloody seepage. It really just looks worse than what it feels like. The pain is managed very well with a prescription for oxycodone.
