Mechanical instability, pelvic pain and unusable erections after catheterisation and hematomas – looking for real experi

[prguy3]

I'm not saying that Clavell oversizes in general, i'm saying that he oversized me.
I'm sure of it for a few reasons.
1. In the operative report he measured my erect size longer than i've ever been, even with my best erections
2. I never even really cycled. After being implanted i've immediately been the same size as before
3. My distal tips go 3/4 into the glans, which might be fine for some, but for me the left tip is uncomfortable
4. He gave me a titan without even questioning my size / girth. I'm an international patient and he saw me like maxium 2 minutes before surgery. He did not ask for my girth in the consults, he just said a Titan is good for young guys.

I'm not even blaming him really as i don't have the best tissue quality, just stating the fact that he oversized me. A high volume surgeon should consider factors like tissue/ tunica quality and girth (Eid certainly does).
Idk why you rush to defend him when i didn't even really attack him.

Why do you say your surgeon oversized you? Many guys here would defer with your comment that Dr. Clavell oversizes. Just like me, You are young, and younger guys tend to have more "aggressive" sex and more "wear and tear". This is why I trust his judgement when he told me to be careful with being super aggressive with cycling. Additionally, if there is history of an injury and scar tissue formation, the tissues may be less healthy. Why is the surgeon to blame for that?

I apologize if my comment came out as rude and I certainly don't want to dismiss your concern nor did my intention was to "rush to defend him", but rather wanted to point out that tissue quality can have an impact in long-term outcomes which has nothing to do with what a surgeon did.

Hi i write you .

Hi everyone,

I am writing because I am struggling with a situation where erections are still present, but mechanically unstable and functionally unusable, and I am trying to understand what realistic options exist.

After my initial injury and subsequent catheterisation, the mechanics of my penis and pelvic region clearly changed. Since then, I developed multiple hematomas (three in total), the last one involving the left crus area, which is still organizing. Since that time I feel a flat, firm band in the bulbar/crural region that seems to continue into the shaft. This area cannot be actively tensioned by muscle contraction anymore.

My andrologist believes there is significant scar-related restriction at the base and at the junction between the corpus spongiosum and the corpora cavernosa. He described the narrowing as functional and suggested that the erection itself is being mechanically limited by scar tissue. There was also concern that tissues may have adhered together.

Because the mechanics changed, I am also afraid of ligament surgery, as I worry it could further change the erection angle while the underlying instability remains. The spongiosum reacts poorly and feels hardened.

Several reconstructive surgeons in my country told me that since erections still exist, there is nothing to do surgically — not even implant — despite the fact that erections are practically unusable:
• lying down causes bending and severe discomfort,
• sitting almost always leads to irritation or re-injury,
• standing is the only tolerable position, but even then symptoms can be triggered for days afterwards.

Additionally, after a retrograde episode I developed new scarring near the glans. My Qmax worsened and I had several days of visible bleeding from the penis. Since then urination feels uncomfortable in that area and pressure is poorly tolerated, especially near the point where the catheter previously got stuck.

At the moment I am waiting for a joint consultation with Mr. Ralph and Mr. Mundy, but the waiting time has been frustrating. I already travelled to London once and the consultation lasted only a few minutes without physical examination, so I am currently in a difficult situation waiting for further evaluation. It has now been almost 10 months since the initial injury and about 6 months since the last hematoma.

My main problems now are:
• erections present but mechanically unstable and painful,
• constant discomfort at the root/bulbar region,
• feeling of structural change and poor support on the left side,
• inability to use erections normally,
• worsening symptoms after ejaculation or prolonged use,
• urinary discomfort since the later scarring.

I am not looking for miracles — only for a stable, usable condition.

My questions to people with similar experiences:
1. Has anyone had severe mechanical instability despite preserved erections?
2. Were root or ligament-related problems addressed before considering implant?
3. Did anyone improve functionally (pain, sitting, daily life) without implant after similar trauma?
4. For those who had ligament repair or reconstruction — how did the erection feel before and after?

Any real-life experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading
