4-5 months in report

[Alan67]

My urologist is very against the implant because of 2 main reasons:
- The erection will feel much less natural and isn’t that great at all
- The implant will result in a floppy head

Could you react to these statements? Do you agree?

1) What? Your urologist does not recommend implants as a cure for ED because to him they "feel much less natural"? Does an implant feel more or less natural than an impotent dick? His medical opinion is that implants are "not great at all"? Your urologist sounds like an idiot. Or you are.

2) Never heard of that.

But I've had the implant for 5 months and 10 days and it is the worst mistake that I have ever made. I have continuous discomfort in the abdomen where the reservoir goes and in my prostate area. Sometimes the discomfort becomes pain but most of the time it's pretty manageable. I am learning to live with chronic discomfort. This has been very depressing. Please understand that if this goes bad, it can go real bad. Procedure was in Nashville with Dr Pollard.

Really? You're 5 months out. Maybe give it some more time? fwiw I am surprised you feel "chronic discomfort" 5 months out but I do wonder just how bad is bad. Are you being medicated for it? Is it affecting your day to day life? Was it worse 3 months out?

I wish there was a better implant. The pros ans cons here are 50/50

What? Nowhere are implants anywhere close to being 50/50. There's vast amounts of medical research and many verified reports of implants having 95% success rates or whatever other really high number it is, significantly higher than 50/50.

I sure wish there was too. Like Bluetooth enabled pump ability or something. But it hasn't changed in 20 years so at least I know it's proven to be effective and must obviously be better than nothing as so many people get it and much better positive stories than negative overall.

Well I did get paid $100 last week for participating in that research consultation where we talked about an electronic IPP. She described it and we experimented with the app and she wrote down my opinions. Electronic ones will come in the future.

Wrote this while in a car and trying to conversate with others. Re-reading it it sounds quite negative. I was just being honest. But I am truly very happy. Ecstatic. Giddy. I just wanted to shed some reality as well is all.

uh, yeah, I kinda have no clue what's happening in this post. Penile implants are very much a positive treatment for ED. It's the permeant solution when all other treatment options fail. Because it works.

What the hell is happening here?

Yea at 5 and a half months out it's noticeable discomfort about 70 percent of the time. 20 percent of the time I don't much notice it and 10 percent of the time the discomfort becomes mild pain. Sometimes moderate. Everything is worse after sexual activity. I'm still hoping things will improve some more but that hope is sort of gading fading. There's problems with bending and lifting.
