Hey guys, did you do any Perito exercises after the surgery? How do they work and what does "cycling" mean?

No, I was specifically told by my surgeon and the Boston Scientific Rep at my 6 weeks follow-up not to do the Perito exercises. I think those are specifically for the Titan implant as I think Perito primarily implants the Coloplast Titan.

Since you are in Germany, I'm assuming your date signature of 03.02.2026 means Feb 03, 2026, not the American style date of Day/Month/Year which would translate to March 02, 2026.

Cycling is the process of inflating your implant every day for a period of time, then deflating. If your implant was this month, you wouldn't be cycling yet. If your implant was in Feb, you should be cycling unless your doctor told you otherwise for some specific reason. Cycling is very important for stretching and scar tissue control. Right now, I inflate at least twice a day for a minimum of 30 minutes. Both doctor and Rep recommended that as a minimum for the next several months. Rep said I could go longer if it was comfortable.

If your doctor didn't recommend cycling, I would contact him/her and ask why.

All the best in your recovery.

No exercises, no cycling here. I did not know about these after my implant, never instructed by my surgeon and had not found Frank Talk. My 6 week follow up, cleared for sex and docs instructions were "Go use it". At 5 months post I found FT, started cycling, saw very very little gain after 3 months and I gave up.
However, after being cleared for sex until 6-8 months out I inflated almost every day for one thing or another.

yes, several days a week. saw gains out over a year.
