Re: My tips for pre-op, during and post-op for penile implant
After my prostatectomy I was told that to prevent scarring and to maintain my penis size I MUST use a VED every day. This was to force blood into the penis and oxygenate the tissues. Over 12 months later I can confirm that I still had my original pre op size.

Re: UK Implant Diary
Day 6 Slept well last night with just getting up once to pee Peeing still a bit challenging with little feeling that I need to pee or that my bladder is empty afterwards. The aching seems to be located less so in the glans & more so in the scrotum. The walk in the garden yesterday was spoiled by...

Re: UK Implant Diary
Hi Geronimo, just seen this message after your PM. I think I would have probably done the same as you if I'd have had success with any of the alternative treatments and delayed having the implant. The great thing is that it's always available if the alternatives fail.

Re: UK Implant Diary
Thanks Geronimo, it was the same for treatment under private insurance. They (AXA-PPP) required a letter from my consultant saying that all alternative treatments had failed. They covered the cost of the operation but only a quarter of Mr Ralph's fee and also none of the anaesthetist's fee. They wou...

Re: UK Implant Diary
Day 5 Aching a bit more now but not too bad (4/10 max). This is only evident when exerting suddenly then it eases. Peeing still needs a bit of concentration to start & maintain. Another BM this morning with no problem this time - I'm learning! Slept fairly well in about 2 hour lots getting up to...

Re: UK Implant Diary
Thanks Andy will do. At the moment I'm just sitting here reading & watching TV. However, the effect of laughing at some of the comedy programmes (Frazier) can be uncomfortable!!

Re: UK Implant Diary
The use of Vaseline sounds like a good idea. My fear though, is introducing an infection as there are still slight traces of blood in the supporting cotton pads. I'll give it a while and will probably use it. Thanks for the heads up. As for competition - I should be so lucky! I'll just be happy to g...

Re: UK Implant Diary
No that's stretched (before op) and it was about 6.5". It could expand to 7" only using the VED.
