Hey guys,

I read some post about autoinflation in Titan models?

What does mean? Sometimes your implant is auto inflated by mistake? :roll:

If the valve doesn't lock into deflate mode (or on some models without a check-valve on deflate), under certain circumstances, pressure applied to the reservoir (by abdominal pressure for instance) can cause the fluid to move back into the cylinders, causing them to inflate automatically.

I believe most pump models available now from both Coloplast and Boston Scientific include a check-valve to prevent auto-inflation in most situations.

Following deflation I get a certain amount of auto inflation. It doesn't get super hard but does inflate some. dr. Wants me to totally deflate at night which I do but in the morning I am partially inflated(doesn't bother me and I think its kinda cool).

a quick ,one pump will lock your pump, after deflating. You will feel a small pop.

Lol, I pictured it like your riding on a bumpy road and the bouncing causes your pump to inflate you...
