Re: what are the first signs/symptoms of venous leak?

I wonder if "venous leak" may be a misnomer for some men (me in particular). I have begun to suspect that leakage, not out the veins, but actually out the sides of the tunica albuginea could produce the same effect as true venous leakage. I did not see any pooling of escaping blood, so I ...

Re: Are medical papers currently reporting lower infection rate than actual rate?

I guess we will never know for sure.....you know there’s three kinds of lies: 1.lies 2. Damned lies 3. Statistics But in sit down discussions, I had one doctor who implants 2-4 per month tell me his infection rate was just under 2% (that would be about one annually) The other implants probably 15-20...

Re: Wrong Urologist?

One of my favorite lines from any work of literature comes from Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. On the witness stand, Tom is asked if he’s accusing Miss Mayella(the white girl) of lying. As it would be heretical for a black to accuse a white of lying at that time, Tom tells the court she ain’t l...

Hi Draulic. Here I come.

I’m sorry for the bad play on words. When I got up this morning I had a surgery planned for Jan 22nd to get a Titan put in by the surgeon as the hospital I use for pretty much everything. I was okay with it, although the surgeon does 2-4 per month. That’s not high volume but considering the popilati...

Re: My surgery is Scheduled!

I do not understand why Americans love their healthcare system. No universal healthcare! I want my private insurance. Do they know private healthcare providers need to make a profit? So obviously it will cost more. No profits are paid for universal, so it is cheaper. In Canada we never have to worr...

Re: Implant Discussion - VL Suspected - Suicidal Thoughts - Help Please

I’ll caveat this by saying I’m not a doctor. But I have an observation. I have discussed this with several doctors. Some listen and think it makes sense. Others do like doctors all too often do and let it go in one ear and out the other. I don’t think guys in their late 20s/early 30s are developing ...

Re: privacy

Shoot, I’ve told some folks what I’m about to have done. Very few know, however, that I’m on the schedule for January 22. Hemorrhoids, hernias, colon resection are all good. Another good one that shuts people up quick: a kidney stone the size of a grape. You tell people that sitting in the ultrasoun...

Re: Veterans Admin and Penile Implant Procedure.

Retiree. Only 20% disability. I was one of those guys who never went to sick call. Degenerative disk disease, diminished lung capacity due to sarcoidosis, 5 hernias, 2 rotator cuffs, and 50% hearing loss = 20%. Oh well. I'm on a Tricare Select, which used to be standard. Higher co pays, but no refer...

Re: Penis Enlargement

Yeah right. And I'm the Pope. If Big Pharma had a successfully working dick size pill it would be by prescription, insanely expensive,and they'd sell them by the hundreds of millions. The locker rooms would be full of guys with foot long schlongs who never get laid. Ladies don't see size the same wa...

Re: Need doctor recommendations in or close to Texas

Howdy GunsUp. That screen name sounds like it might be attached to an individual who attended a Texas a Tech. If that's the case, then for an implant I recommend this guy over in a Nuevo Laredo, he supposedly puts them in for $399 US. Seriously,, though, I am sort of in the same boat. I'd like to ha...
