Why does my new Titan back fill?
Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2018 6:40 pm
Does anybody have experience with backfilling of a Titan?
Background.. Revision with Titan almost 8 weeks ago. Doctor used my existing AMS reservoir instead of installing a new Titan reservoir. The AMS reservoir does not have a lock out mechanism, although the Titan reservoir does. Op notes stated that doctor evaluated that the AMS reservoir was not encapsulated and had the original 100 ML capacity. A scrotoplasty was also done that probably contributed to swelling of my scrotum.
My problem: I can inflate successfully, but deflation is difficult but possible When I do find the deflate button on the Titan I can deflate somewhat. Although the Coloplast instructions for deflation say that I have two choices.. Either just depress the button and deflation will occur more slowly or I can depress the button and release and then gently squeeze my penis to hurry up the deflation. In my case simply depressing the deflation button does nothing. I have to squeeze aggressively to get some deflation. By holding the deflation button AND squeezing hard I can deflate maybe 50%.. Just a guess. I am able to fold the penis somewhat. I have not been able to get substantial deflation. My penis goes from the 3 o'clock position to the 4:30 angle, I can feel the partial softening of the cylinders. They remain hard enough to fuck but I can live with this if I can accept the discomfort of a partial erect penis held in place by tight briefs.
BUT when I lie on my side (e.g. going to sleep) auto filling takes place to the extent that I feel the pressure on my tunica girth wise and my glans length wise. It is similar to what I experience from a pump to the max. This wakes me up with discomfort. To make matters worse When I try to deflate I often fail probably due to the swelling. So my deflation effort was wasted and I am back to pumped up dick with the accompanying pain/discomfort from pressure on the tunica and glans.
So why the back filling? These are my choices.. Do you know of other possibilities?
1. The reservoir is at capacity and is pushing the fluid back to the penis
2. The lock out pin in the Titan pump somehow changes back to a pump mode
3. My remaining swelling is somehow causing this.
4. My doctor left too much fluid in the cylinders with the intent to prevent the dog ears the Titan is known for, In short I have too much saline for the reservoir to hold.
5. Maybe I still have some natural erection blood supply. This would not account for expansion of the Titan cylinders, but it could put pressure on the tunica.
Restated… I HAVE NO CLUE.
What do you think is going on?
Will this problem resolved itself over time?
