Still unsure

Postby Wembley1 » Mon Jan 12, 2026 11:14 pm

Hey.. not looking for medical advice here… more an understanding or reassurance.
I’m 6 months post implant & cycling as required.
Though I seem to have a few issues which despite my internet searching ability have been unable to find answers to..

So I can pump and get an erection doing very small pumps. And it becomes very solid. Though I seem to have a lot of loose skin around the shaft.. making me think there is room for more girth. So I then pump harder and manage to get numerous full pumps, but no change in erection.
My question is, is there a bypass thing going on in the MS pump?
Does anyone know of a detailed schematic of how the pumps valves work?
Or have I just run out of fluid?
Or is it just normal and I should be happy with my implant? (Which I’m not)

If you ran out of fluid, the pump bulb would go flat. Is the pump hard when you are finished, or can you continue getting full or partial pumps in? If you can, I’d think that means there’s more room for fluid in the implant to make it harder.

You might not notice it getting harder after a certain point, but it could be gaining axial rigidity. In other words the shaft doesn’t feel much harder squeezing it, but the shaft might better resist bending. In any case, if you are getting more fluid in it must be getting harder, even if it’s hard to tell.

Also be aware that the LGX implant you have is well known to have lower rigidity than the AMS CX or Coloplast Titan models. There may just be a hard limit to what it can do.
