No feeling of pressure or stretch on the penis when inflating it. It is normal?

Roadie,

I don't think what you are experiencing is abnormal. My pump was as hard as a marble when I first attempted pumping and made me really sore in the tissue between my fingers and the pump. It seems everyone complains about how hard the pump is in the beginning, unfortunately, the only fix is to pump more. If the scrotum tissue I mentioned starts getting sore, let it rest a day or two, this is not going to affect anything in the end, some doctors don't even let their patients pump for 4 to 6 weeks. Some guys have been cleared to pump in a matter of days, but I think those are the guys who get their incision in the pubic area. You are not getting pain because you are not pumping all the way yet.

After a few weeks of cycling the pump will be much softer and you will be able to get more complete pumps. As you are able to get more complete pumps you will feel an ache in your penis, this is also normal and is the sensation you get when you are stretching the tissue. After you heal some more, this should be your goal at each cycling. Let it ache for a while then deflate and ache will go away.

Don't worry about your size! You still have swelling and that makes your dick look short. You are going to end up with what God gave you, probably no more and probably no less. My wife says, "Women don't care, the sensitive area is only 2-3" in." Anything else is just bragging rights, it has nothing to do with sexual satisfaction for either of you. I am 8 1/2 weeks out of surgery, and I measured today for the second time. I am exactly where I was before surgery and my wife says I am the same in girth. Don't waste your time worrying about your size.

You sound completely normal to me.

Thanks for the road map, it's good to know what others have been through.

What you describe is what I was referring to, so far, I have not felt any pain, or discomfort as if something was stretching.

The doctor told me that we could wait until the fifth or sixth week without problems, but that if I wanted, I could try it on my own. I am doing it because, although the nurse is very kind, she has limited time to attend to each patient.

As for the size, I'm not so optimistic, but we'll see what happens.

As for the width, I had a penis of 18 cm/ 7 in, in circumference, I think it is not easy to recover this, with the prosthesis, it does not traumatize me either, but I hope I can. For now we are at approximately 15cm/ 6 in. I don't know if anyone here has recovered it.

The length worries me a little more, but I know I have to give it more time and more cycling.

I also have the proposal to remove the suprapubic fat pad, and loosen the suspensory ligament, which was not done in the same surgery, because it greatly increased the risk of infection (initially it was considered, all together) and I prefer health to beauty (length) , LOL

thx

I'm barely in the fourth post-operative week. In the third week I went to my appointment to learn the use of the implant, it was inflated once, but it took a while to deflate it, according to the doctor due to some edema around the pump, however, the doctor authorized me to try it at home. And I must return for the fifth week.

The bulb is very, very hard, so I can only press with micro pumps, not from wall to wall, but I manage to inflate the prosthesis with many micro squeezes and I am already learning the trick to deflate.
When I inflate, there comes a point where I can no longer squeeze, I move my penis a little, like Perito, and I can place another pump.

The detail that seems curious to me is that I see the penis erect (not with the pre-operative size, but I'm not worrying about that right now, well, not much at least) but I don't have the feeling that it is erect, that is, I hardly feel any pressure or stretching of the tissues. I don't have any pain either.

My sensitivity from a sexual point of view is preserved and asking for action, hehehehehe

Did this happen to you?
Do you see it normal, at this stage?
Those who have gone through this initial stage, what do you think is happening?

Regards

I’m at 6 months and to date I’ve never felt any stretch as in length.. also do the full inflation to a point of very hard and then do perito exercises and usually get another couple 1/4 pumps. I have however gotten back 1/2” of the one inch plus that I lost. Only pressure I feel is in girth just below my glans… definitely a stretch in a girth direction.. I’ve gained girth over my original health penis by about a 1/4”. I’ve always felt I was shorted about 1-2cm in length, as I’m still almost a half inch short… don’t get me wrong I love my new dick and can’t remember ever having such a hard tool!! No regrets!!!

Starting from the end, I am, too, without any regrets.

Maximizing and adapting to what I have now, without regrets and a lot of use, is the watchword.

(I think that's a good thought for everyone, feel free to use it, with the respective reference to the creator, LoL,)

Reading your answer, I realize, I do the exercises of Dr. Perito, without any discomfort, or pain, in fact, very easily, (when I saw the video, I thought that would hurt a lot) which may indicate that there is more to be done inflate and stretch, I also get some more micropump, or at least I think so, after the exercise.

Also yesterday I noticed that leaving it inflated for a while, then I was able to insert some more micro-pump. Keep experimenting.

I had that 1st couple of months.
Now no pain so I have to actually feel it to check how hard I am

Yes, that's the feeling, I have to touch it or see it to know that it is erect.

But do not be discouraged by those who have not become bionics, the sensation of touching it and playing with it is very, very pleasant, exciting and feels powerful, that cannon can handle everything (sensual pole dance music, in a strip club, LoL).

And in my case I have maximum sensitivity, sexually speaking, it turns me on a lot

I'm exactly the same. I feel no stretch in length after inflation. I inflate it as much as I can almost daily. My feeling is that I may have lost a cm or two in size. However, it's hard as can be, definitely usable.

For now, I also feel that way, but I still have a long way to go, just starting.
I hope to recover as much as possible of what I had. but now it works

I use a small wet towel, which I heat in the microwave, I put a small dry towel on the scrotum and then the hot one, it works for me and loosens the scrotum, which in my case is small (not me, I'm 184cm / 6' 1/ 2") and is normally contracted.

Yes, in fact the coloplast manual calls it sticky bulb, which is caused by lack of lubrication.

I'm using the thenar eminence of the palm (thanks to google for giving me the name, LoL) to support the pump and squeeze with the rest of the fingers, it uses the forearm muscles and develops a lot of strength, but for the new of the bulb is still very hard, sometimes I switch to thumb, index and middle finger but it is less effective and easier for the bulb to escape.

My scrotum really doesn't hurt.

For now I've had to do it lying down, because standing up the pump hides a bit from me, I'll have to practice more.
thx

I have an AMS product but my understanding is the devices are similar. They have a valve that needs to move and switch from deflate to inflate and back. The reason for a forceful first squeeze is to move that valve fully to the inflate mode. In my case I feel a pop when this happens. So it is more of a sticky valve than a bulb issue. The bulb is stiffer though in the beginning. I did see a post where one member would use the bathroom sink to place the bottom side of the bulb and then push down forcefully to switch to inflate mode. The self lubricating will after time will smooth this out and the switching will occur much easier.

Yes, indeed, they gave it that name, sticky pump or sticky bulb, but it is a valve lubrication problem, as you describe it.

Literally:
It is a good idea for the patient to cycle his device daily in order to keep the pump lubricated and avoid sticky pump syndrome. He doesn't have to cycle completely; just pump it a few times, deflate it and then pump it one time again. This ensures daily movement of the valve in the pump.

As I have mentioned, my bulb is still too hard, it is impossible to squeeze it from wall to wall, neither I, nor the nurse, nor the doctor have been able to do it. That doesn't stop me from inflating it with micropumps, I don't even think I can call them minipumps
