What happens with permanent removal

ASIA syndrome?

Cnidium, the only forum member I know of who made this choice is Mark1974 -- but for different reasons than what you described. Below is a link to one of his recent posts. He may have more perspective for you.

However, like others who posted above, I would encourage you to very carefully consider all of the ramifications of this. For example, why expose yourself to the risk of infection and/or other complications with a surgery that is not necessary ? Especially if you are at an advanced age when it is harder to fight off infections and other problems ?

Does anyone have any concrete evidence on what happens if you have an implant permanently removed?

I had sudden onset ED caused by my prostatectomy. The outcome was very quick penile atrophy due to zero erectile function.
So I lost size fast and started having problems urinating. It took me ages to eventually recover the lost size by using a vacuum pump daily.
In the OP's scenario I'm wondering if it could be practical to install a malleable device, maybe slightly undersized for comfort reasons, and the agility desired? That could possibly prevent any atrophy and consequent problems, and no extra bits like the pump to worry about.
But if it was me I would probably just leave the failed (or no longer needed) device in place.

Reports from guys who have removed permanently are very rare. There's a guy on reddit who had his removed for several months (maybe permanently?) and seemed to be ok, other than no erections obviously. He is the commenter named Regular-Bat-4449 on this thread. Looks like he still posts around reddit as recently as today so maybe you could message him.

Thanks, man. I'll message him.

To me, implants are the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not sure I'd even consider removing them.

TooYoung, is that you?

Your experience isn't necessarily his.
He's been on the forum longer than you, and his experience has been shared here, even with pictures. He is not TooYoung

But I wonder, Cnidium, if you don't mind using it anymore, why not leave it unexplanted when it fails? Or how would the implant affect your daily life even if it didn't work?

I'll respond to this in a different message in this thread.

I've met one individual who became unimplantable due to heavy corporal fibrosis after a total explant following an infection with purulent discharge. One complaint he has is that he has to sit down to pee. Other than this one lifestyle adjustment, he sounded fine when I communicated with him.

I'd be ok with that lifestyle adjustment.

ASIA syndrome?

No, nothing like this from what I'm aware of.

The fact that you were able to use a VED to recoer size is actually encouraging. I'm not worried about size for the sake of size, but rather a secondary indicator that maintaining some size means the issue is staying somewhat healthy. My plan would be to use VED for a few minutes every day or every other day just to keep the blood flowing so to speak. Do you mind sharing what your VED routine was? Also how much would you think you would need to use it just to prevent too much atrophy?



Apologies if I didnt respoind to everyone, got a lot more responses that I initially thought.
