Questions to ask my Doctor

Postby defiant » Mon Aug 13, 2018 7:40 am

I’ve scheduled an appointment today with my doctor who is one of the leading implanters in Europe, certainly the highest volume doctor in the UK, as I understand it.

I’m going so as to get as much information about the implant and his techniques as possible.

I’ve written down a bunch of questions but...

What questions would you recommend I ask?
Thanks!
37, mild to moderate ED since age 21, 3 Dopplers - 1 result VL & 3 later results 'no physical problem', dependent on cialis (efficacy now waning), overcame Lymophoma at age 26, ED causing immense/profound psychological distress. Considering implant.

I wanted to know whether my surgeon used both brands because I don't believe one brand is universally the best for all men. He does. I asked which he felt was best suited to me and we had a conversation about my goals for the implant. We mutually decided on the AMS LGX. I asked what I could expect for post-implant length and he took hold of my penis and did the stretch test and said that was about what I would end up with. I ended up longer, but was thankful he was realistic with me and didn't make a promise he couldn't keep. I asked about pump placement. I have one testicle that sits higher than the other and asked about the pump being placed to that side to fill out my sac. He strongly recommended not doing that because it may have a tendency to push that ball higher. It ended up right in the middle and still does a good job of helping my sac look more full.
I asked about recovery protocol, when I could return to normal activities, working out, masturbation, and sex.
