I'm past the 5-year mark, and I inflate 6 times a week.
My wife still must enjoy sex because she never turns it down.
She uses my golf day as an excuse to rest it.
She likes to stroke it to warm up.
I know I'm a lucky guy.

Get a VED and use it every day. That should help you get back some of what you lost.
If you get an implant, it would be great to have a good surgeon who can size you mildly aggressively.

Your post was long, but quite easy to read. Breaking long posts into paragraphs seems to be a lost art. It's hard for someone my age to give you advice, but I will anyway. I would at least try injections. They eventually stopped working for me, and I had to proceed to the final step, implantation. I...

I just got my lab results from last Friday's test. I'm just a bit below the averages they show. RBC 3.88, range 4.3 to 6 Hemoglobin 12.5, range 13 to 18 Hematocrit 36.5 range 40 to 53. I think I read that my kidney disease can cause those to be low. I guess I'll have to live with all of my issues, t...

I've been on T longer than you, and my blood count has always been on the low side. I even take supplemental iron. My hemoglobin was always low, but just crept up into the lowest normal range of 13.1. Have you ever been told you may have hemochromatosis? I suspect not because I think that's genetic,...

You're on the right track by ordering and using the pump. Use it daily and I think it will restore your size. Also use it daily before having the implant.

I think the auto-inflation is a concern, but I don't know if it's the source of the pain.
I had pain in my lower abdomen for some time after surgery.
I'm sure it was from the surgeon poking a hole to put in the reservoir.
It felt like what I assume a hernia would feel like.

When I read this post the first thing I thought of is that the splice from the pump to the reservoir wasn't done properly. That seems to be the weakest link on a pre-assembled implant.

Risk of erosion is a consideration if an oversized prosthesis is implanted. Since the standard methodology of sizing occurs in the operating room, choosing an overlong distal and proximal length, in my view as a mechanical engineer, is an error of tremendous magnitude. I'd say it's inexcusable to m...

I'm no expert, but I've never heard of an inflatable implant causing erosion. It sounds like he's not a very experienced surgeon. After hearing his concerns, I don't think I'd let him operate on me. With the right surgeon, I think you'd be happy with the implant. Other than the Titan, I don't think ...
