Titan left cylinder has eroded into the urethra

Postby pumpitup » Thu Oct 23, 2025 8:03 am

I have been suffering some pain at the tip, not severe, I had a script for Cephalexin 500mg x 2 daily been taking for a week, saw the Dr today, he said the left cylinder has eroded into the ureter and has to come out, he said he will remove the left cylinder and leave the right. When I asked about having another one implanted at a later date he appeared reluctant and said we will just worry this first. how frigging deformed will my penis look with only having one cylinder, I am so angry, if I had done something I would say it is my fault. I haven't had a root or a wank the only thing I can think of that may have led to this I have been going to the Gym, one of the things I have been doing was back raisers which put a lot of pressure on the front of my pelvic region, can't think of anything else. Operation booked for next Thursday. Will tell you how it went.no pun intended when I come home, with only half a dick.

Sorry this has happened.

It’s good this is being taken care of before the entire implant is infected.

Take it a step at a time. Get this cylinder out so the repair to your corpora/urethra can be made and you can heal.

Once you have healed you can pursue revision surgery. If this particular surgeon is hesitant, seek out a second opinion. Dr Love in Melbourne has a great reputation. It would require a flight, but could be worth the hassle. And there may be surgeons closer to you (or your original surgeon) that will do it.

Hang in there. Just focus on the next right action. You’ll get through this and be back in the saddle again.

Geeeez. Sorry for this event pumpitup
I assume your doctor did some imaging to come up with this diagnosis!? It sounds like too big of implication on that side,
Goodwood offered the best solution, if your doc doesn’t come up with a solution, seek out a better doc. I suspect hes got a too big tube in that side or the tip was defective
Good luck, this is a new issue on our site so please keep us informed.

pumpitup, good advice from GoodWood. There are surgeons who focus on reconstructive surgery -- you may want to add this to your criteria for selecting a Dr for your revision. Best wishes for navigating this difficult problem !
