Update about a cancelled planned operation and bad shrinkage

Postby guyinthedarkness » Thu Apr 02, 2020 7:06 am

Hello guys,

I just wanted to give you an update about my situtation and problems. I had a lot of stress with my insurance in last months because of my impant operation, but now they confirmed that they will absorb the costs for my implant and im about to get operated by Dr. Osmonov in Germany. The actual problem is that all operations were cancelled because of corona and the told me that i stil need to wait till end of the year, which is really depressing and frustrating for me. I have severe penile scaring and shrinkage which is the cause that i already have lost 1,57 (!) inch in length and a lot of girth in erect state. Im sure that by time it will get worse and worse like the years and months before. Im using a VED 30 minutes a day but to be honest ive never could gain back anything of my size in length or girth. Is there anything you could recommend me to stop this shrinkage? Im really afraid to lose anything i have. Dr. Osmonov told me in past that he already saw that the usage of a VED is not a reliable method to prevent shrinkage or to regain size. Maybe bevause i dont even have nocturnal erections anymore....

Would be nice to hear something of you!

Stay healthy and best regards!

I post the same answer I did a moment ago where you posted in another thread the same question. I am not complaining that you gave me the opportunity to answer twice, though. I just want to make sure you got my questions (and others who might read only one of the threads).

What protocol are you following? That is, what is your routine? How long have you been doing it? What are your dimensions?
When were you at your largest and length and girth?
What were you a year ago, length and girth
What are you now, length and girth

I never measured my girth before, so don't feel badly if you didn't and don't feel you neglected your penis if you don't have the answers to the questions above. But you can pay attention now since it is important to you.

Why do you have to wait until the end of the year? I've been calling various surgeons and the expected timelines for resumption of electives is end of May?

Thanks for your answer.

Im taking 5mg cialis daily for 2 years now. Im started to use the VED again 5 months ago for 30 minutes daily. I just pump it till its 90% hard and than let it in this state for 30 minutes. Years ago i was pumping it and defleating it in a routine for 30 minutes, but didnt had good results. Now the results are bad too, i mean my shrinkage has still become worse in the last 5 months.

Im not sure about how my size was the last year but before my ED, in 2016 i had 6,69 inches in length and now im 5,12. Its like hell. I never measured my girth but it feels like i lost 50% of it, and im not joking.

I'm not sure if this depends of the country but the hospital in germany told me that i should call again in september for an appointment. It's incredible.

I guess this the issue with socialized medicine. I'm in Canada and I understand. They take our tax money and then they give us health care like they are doing us a favor.

I was told to pump with VED 2times a day. Morning and evening. What kind of VED are you using? I regained most of my lost size fro Prostate Cancer surgery. Good luck.

Yeah, that's true. After one year of discussions with my insurance it comes to corona. I just hope thinks will work faster than in a half year...

Im using an erecaid esteem. It was not that cheap and should be good for preventing shrinkage. But ive never seen any results unfortunately. Can you tell me how you used it and what your protocol looked like?

That's a quality medical grade VED... I don't think it's a matter of actually getting much increased or retained length during the VED usage since it basically causes all tissues to engorge (even the tissues under the skin). IMHO, I think it's more about keeping regular blood flow to the area that has deficient blood-flow at the present time. As long as you can keep tissues healthy, there's a better chance to regain some (or most) of the loss due to waiting. It may even slow the shrinkage because it encourages healthy blood flow to the tissues.
