Dear Readers

Let me introduce you to a new poster to my Penileimplant blog site. His name is GW and he is home recovering from recent implant surgery. W opted for implant surgery following removal of his prostate due to cancer in late 2006. Wjoins my distinguished group of men who have opted to change their sexual lives by having penile implant surgery to reverse persistant and severe erectile dysfunction. Those of us who have had implant surgery hope that by sharing our experiences, we can educate men and their partners worldwide, that persistant ED can be over come. We want men everywhere to know that we can continue to enjoy sexual intercourse the rest of their lives. This despite having medical conditions that have severely damaged the ability of their penis to become engorged with blood and to maintain a stiff erection long enouth to enjoy sexual intercourse. Folks, here is GW story in his own words:

Bob,

Thanks for writing back, and thanks again for your blog---it helped me a great deal.........

ED- mine was not too bad and was a problem starting aroung age 50, I am now 58. Viagra worked well enough and I didn't really worry about it too much.

In 2006 I developed prostate cancer. My prostate was removed (with robotic surgery) 11-1-06.......After surgery my ED was a real problem.....Viagra stopped working at all, I tried the pump but it did not work, I tried the shots but did not like them. I got to the point that I would rather not have sex if it required a shot..........

The decision was simple.....an implant or complete ED. After reading your blog I decided to go with the implant.....Your blog was the only information that I felt was trustworthy...........

The implant was done 1-7-08, the pictures were taken 1-10-08 (yesterday)......I am a little sore but it is not bad. All I am taking for pain is over the counter meds 2 or 3 times a day, and I could do without them. I am taking them mostly for the pain involved in deflating the tubes since they seem to auto inflate after a few hours.

I am still having a problem with incontinence but it is still improving gradually so I decided to wait and see what it does before having more extra parts installed........If I don't dry-up in the next 4-5 months I will have the male sling installed...........

I will be glad to answer any questions and will send more photos as things change and I am able to start using the implant........My doc said not to inflate it for four weeks............

Let me know what else I can do or answer to help with your blog.

GW

I wish to thank Dave for submitting these pictures of his genitals at Post Op Week 4 and Week 7 following Daniel's Penile Implant surgery. Read his Story below.

These pictures are copyrited and are posted for educational purposes for men with long term erectile dysfunction and their partner's who are giving serious thought to possibly seeking a penile implant as a solution to their ED problems. I began this blog as an aid to men to hear first hand accounts of penile implantees as well as their spouses views. I welcome all submissions.

Bob, here are pictures, flaccid, 1 semierect, and several erect, at 4 weeks, just after I began to pump, and this week, which is my 7th week. The flaccid at week 4 was 4 inches, the erect was 4 1/2 inches. The flaccid now is 4 1/2 inches and the erect is right at 5 inches. You'll notice that it points slightly to the right for some reason...all of the tubing is just to the right of my pubic area, and then goes into the abdomen, and the pump is on the right side of the scrotum.
