When do you consider that you are psychologically prepared to receive an implant?

Postby España1980 » Tue Aug 09, 2022 7:09 pm

Hello, I have problems with my penis, and I know that sooner or later there will be the option of getting an implant. What's more, I think that if I told the doctor to put it on, I would put it on because of my situation. But I am terrified of having something inside that is not mine, and especially my head, I mean psychologically, I take many anxiolytics for this issue that does not let me live comfortably, and I am thinking of starting with antidepressants (and I know it is worse because it would give me more erectile dysfunction and I would lose size, but either my mental health or my penis) because I wake up thinking about my penis and I go to bed thinking about my penis. This afternoon walking on the beach I was imagining that I decided to get an implant and when I put my hand in my underpants my penis would measure 6 centimeters, when its erect size would be about 18. And I measure these 6 cm because of my state of anxiety that causes it to shrink and atrophy at that time. So I thought that if that anxiety gave me an implant inside when my penis shrank, it would be detrimental and my body would be asking to expel the cylinders. I am terrified of making up my mind and that I would have an anxiety attack in which my whole body shrinks and of course the penis is the first to shrink having some tubes inside. Or thinking of waking up after the operation and that great pain and seeing a penis shape that is not yours all your life. and the inflating and deflating and the pain; and sensitivity and being able to ejaculate and not have problems with the glans. So many things terrify me. That's why asking you when do you consider that one is really prepared to take the step of the implant? And any of you who have taken the step of the implant had anxiety or depression and were you medicated? because I think then that I am one of the weakest people there is, I see many implanted men who didn't even think about it and come on, come on and it went well. But I think that in my case it would be a war for seconds in my mind until I fully recover and that would be an extreme psychological drain in addition to thinking about all the complications that could arise. and that makes me doubt a lot. Thank you, I look forward to your answers.

You don’t sound like a good candidate for an implant to me.You need to be commuted to it and all other options have failed.If having sex is a big priority in your life then you should do it,if not then don’t!

I think you sound insane. Afraid your body would decide to expel the implant? And your penis would be the first to shrink? That doesn't happen. There shouldn't be any complications to the procedure. There usually aren't. You also shouldn't lose any size. I've had depression and anxiety issues and I've been medicated, but that doesn't have shit to do with my implant.

Can you get and keep an erection without problems? Yes? Don't get an implant.

Do you have difficulty getting and staying erect? Yes? Get an implant.

Bud, it sounds like you have a whole lot of issues going on in your head (the top one). No doubt your ED is caused by emotional problems combined with the medications you take. On top of that you have a hell of an imagination.
The good news is that psychological ED can be managed by other means. You need to find a good urologist in your area, get an examination and talk about what might work for you. Implants are usually a last resort. Why are skipping to the last resort in your head?

JG of course having sex is a big priority for me. but it is a great concern the fact of such an invasive operation and the complications that can occur and more so when a person is in a state of anxiety or depression in which he himself attacks his immune system just because of his nerves. So my question was focused on that. because I imagine that all the men who go through this process have similar things going through their minds. Or repent the same day they wake up in the operating room and control their anxiety so as not to make things worse, so how do you control that?

I don’t think it is time (yet) to be harsh or call somebody insane.

I do believe it would be a good idea to involve a psychiatrist before committing to a surgeon. Yes, I understand a guy wanting a big dick, big balls, muscled up physique. I get it. I’m male too. But a brief thought or fantasy daydream should not become an obsession.

Get the mental health right, then proceed to fix everything else.

It’s not all that hard of a decision process. But you have to start with a clear mind.

Let’s look at it. You’ve got an erection problem. Decision: is sex important to you?

If no, do nothing. If yes, proceed.

Is the problem mental or physical? If mental work with psychiatrist/sex specialist. If physical work with urologist/androgenic specialist.

The urologist tries pills (PDE5 inhibitors). Do they work? If yes, go on about your business. If no, try next step.

The urologist tries injection therapy. Does it work? If yes, continue. If no, then try next step.

The urologist recommends an implant. Is sex worth never having a natural erection? If yes, have surgery. If not, find alternate solution that allows you to be somewhat functional if possible.

That’s the decision making process. You have to answer the questions for you. Nobody else can. It helps to start with a sound mind. You need to understand reality of implant. No, you won’t shrink from 18 cm to 6 cm. Yes, you might lose 1-2 cm depending on surgeon. Most people who have an implant think of it as a part of them, not a foreign object.

But other prople’s results do not matter. What matters is you. Excessive worry and medication is bad for libido and overall health. Get mentally well, then think about the implant.

I understand your fear. When I was 15 I told my sister that I wanted to get a tattoo. She said “When you’re old and flabby it will be distorted”. I never got one. At 72 I no longer want one.
An implant was recommended to me 5-6 years ago but I finally got it last week. It’s painful right now and I may end up regretting my decision but I finally decided that I wanted to have an election again.
Will my wife and I have gymnastic sex, pounding the sheets for hours? Probably not. We never did before. Our sex life was never very satisfactory before but it was better than no sex at all.

68 gatofan My problem is that I have corporal fibrosis, loss of rigidity in the glans, and dorsal curvature. My erectile dysfunction, in addition to being physiological, has become psychological because I can't get over everything that is happening to me in the 6 months since a sexual relationship. So, already investigating what seems to be my future (the implant) sooner or later I get the fears that I am trying to communicate with you. I'm running out of options because I almost can't even masturbate. but the implant option terrifies me, I am taking all these medications for this situation. and I also think that given my situation if I take a long time to think about it I will lose a lot of size. When I'm nervous during the day, my penis is hard, flaccid and small and I think: God, if I had an implant stuck in here right now, it would be about to explode. I don't know if you understand me well what I want to explain

Thank you Txaqq8, all your propositions and responses are very, very consistent. It's what I think inside. The only problem with fixing the mind first and then the penis is that by the time I decide it's too late and my penis has shrunk quite a few inches. That's the only problem. I agree with everything you have said.
Regarding the 18 and 6 cm, I meant that today walking on the beach and thinking about an implant, I touched my penis and it would measure 6 cm (due to my state of inner nervousness) and I thought at that moment that if I had a device inside my hard flaccid penis as I would be pushing. because my penis, due to my mental state, would be trying to contract and the implant would be trying to position itself.

In short, I am in a situation in which I either decide on the implant or, as the colleague said, I decide first for my mental health. and deciding for my mental health is to take antidepressants and therefore not have erections just so that by having fibrosis the tissues would contract more and I would lose size quickly. so my situation would get worse (the one with the penis). It's hard to know when to decide or whether to decide or not.In short, I am in a situation in which I either decide on the implant or, as the colleague said, I decide first for my mental health. and deciding for my mental health is to take antidepressants and therefore not have erections just so that by having fibrosis the tissues would contract more and I would lose size quickly. so my situation would get worse (the one with the penis).
