Preventing short stretch-test with cialis

Postby smphead » Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:03 am

Maybe a dumb question. But i have had a first consult with a urolog and het did a stretch-test and it became to just 9 cm. I measure myself often in a relaxe state and then it's up to 15 cm. It could be it was due the 'stress' for the consult so short.
Often when i'm stressed or it's cold i have a shorter penis.

I will have a appointment with a surgeon and he will measure me again.

When i take cialis i have also a longer flaccid penis.

So when i'am in the 'stress-state' my blood flows out of my penis.

Is it ok to take cialis before the next appointment to prevent a very short penis so i will not be measured for very short cilinders? I'm not afraid for an erection because i need visual and physical stimulation.

Any other things i can do to prevent a very short stress-test during the appointment?

I understand the concern!

But it was my understanding a penis can only stretch so far...

I was very nervous about this as well. When i am anxious or nervous things shrivel up and my flaccid length/stretch at clinic visit not good. Once you have surgery though, everything will be relaxed and the surgeon should get an accurate measurement. In my case was 10 cm down and 13cm up which was considerably more than doc thought based on flaccid in clinic.

Yeah, from what the doctor told me, once you're on the table and out as it were, they have a device which accurately stretches you to give a true measurement.

Also, why not schedule a consult and ask your doctor to inject you and then have him measure?

I thougt the stretch lenght will be the size of the implant, not the size of the erect penis or am i wrong?

The problem with the stretch test is that 4 different doctors could get different results on the same penis just by how hard they pull. The most accurate measurements is done with special measuring rods used in the OR after they open you up. :)

View the video from Boston Scientific showing the way they measure for the right size. All you need to know before the operation is if the DR tells you you will not loose length. I was 9 inch from the base of my cruse to the tip of my glans when really hard with trimix. The trimix would make my entire member painful so I could feel every bit of it. Not just the protruding part. I am now 9 inch pumped up. Happy.

Pretty impressive.

Especially regarding the fact your whole implant is just 7.8 inches long.

Larry10625 is right. There is a special tool for measuring the inside dimensions of your corpus cavernosum. it us usable ONLY during the operation.

Stretch test only provides a means for one to make an estimate of ultimate penile length after implant. Depth of crus is difficult to measure from the outside of your body.

You should be about the same length whether stretched flaccid, erect by stimulation or erect by chemical means (injection or oral medications plus stimulation).

NOTE that I said "about the same". Nothing is exact, but I opine that injection will give the best approximation of your ultimate potential with a properly sized implant.

The measurement that matters to the IMPLANT choice is two measurements that can only be done properly during the implant operation. From the incision into the tip of the penis (internally) INSIDE the corpus cavernosum plus the distance from the incision to the base of the crus, deep in your pelvis.

There are various videos on the web showing implant operations and the vigor involved in sticking the measuring stick is startling (even brutal, to get a measure of your full, erected length). It is not gentle when done properly. But you won't feel it because of the anesthesia or anesthetic.
