Hello all. Can anyone who's implant bulb failure let me know what that feels like? I think mine has failed but want to be sure there is no trick to solve this.
My pump has got stuck many times and managed to resolve but this feels different. The bulb manages 5 or 6 pumps before completely compressing and not refilling. Pressing the valve inflants the bulb again and the process repeats. The penis never inflates or even tries to.
Please help!

Re: Implant failure
Not sure which implant you have. I’d had several failures. I never knew what the issue was until after the revision. Each time I’d had a failure the pump would go flat and not allow any additional fluid to pass in order to fill the cylinders.
If you run out of fluid the pump will go flat.
Not sure this helps you any.

My first implant did the same at about 2 weeks post op. I could get a few pumps then it'd go flat, found out it was a pinhole leak in the left cylinder. Revised 2 months later and now 6 months after the revision it worked perfectly one night then two nights later one pump and bulb is flat. This one is obvious major malfunction either the reservoir ruptured or tubing to it broke/came apart since it only gets one squeeze for it to go flat. I'm now awaiting my next revision and I'm already at one month since my Drs visit. I seriously hate that they drag their feet for two months before doing surgery.

Re: Implant failure
I'm really sorry to hear your experience. It's completely ruined the start of this year. I am just praying they can get me into surgery ASAP. But after two bad implants I'm not holding much hope for a good result.
Was about to suggest this could be the reason but I see you had ams https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ ... ?id=198899

Re: Implant failure
Wow you guys are scaring me!!! Tell me how difficult is the revision as for the pump? Do they just replace the pump only (hopefully) and what is the down time and pain like? Thanks

Well on my first ones failure they replaced the whole thing, they are planning to do the same for this second failure whenever that is I don't know but hoping in the next few weeks. As far as the revision surgery goes, it's usually a little easier than the initial surgery since they just pull it out and slide in the new one, they don't have to ream you out so to speak to make room for it. Recovery is also normally a bit easier on you as well, but everyone is different so you might get different results depending on a lot of factors, and if your revision is being done by a different Dr would be a big one.

Re: Implant failure
I have read about pump and tubing failures .. but also every bit of information I read is most dr's won't just do a pump or tubing repair they want to replace the whole implant due to infection fears .. anyone else have thoughts on this?
Re: Implant failure
I think I would want a whole new one. The implant should be warranted if it’s a manufacture fault. Either way just in case there is other issues would want a whole new one.if it’s a faulty cylinder then the other could be faulty. If it’s a bad connection then all the connections could be bad. After a year, I would hope to get a bigger size but most of these failures we’re talking about sounds like failed parts or surgeon errors.

Re: Implant failure
Any ideas what this weird lump is since pump failure!??
All of a sudden I have this tubing something. It feels like a hard plastic cube. Never had this before when it was working. I can also hear if I squeeze the implants a squishing bubbling sound. I guess from the leak. Anything I should be worried about?
The next available appointment with urologist is end of August! This has ruined 2024 already.
