CAN A PERSON OVER PUMP ?

[barrylandon]

I still hurt when at max pump so I think I have hit max stretch limit.

Hey oldbeek...you and I have the same installed equipment and it still hurts (almost 9 months post-op) when I pump to the max. However, my surgeon told me just the opposite of what you wrote. He says that maximum growth with our LGXs is reached when pumping no longer causes any pain!

Waynetho, thanks for the explanation, I understand now. I was thinking when I will have sex with wife, I will pump quickly, I wasn’t aware it’s going to cause problems. Now I will take it slow and pump it over a minute or two to reach full hardness before initiating sex.

I have not used VED and nor plan to use it even though Dr Hakky recommended that I could use it. I just find it uncomfortable. I am hoping to reach my pre-op size with simply pumping to max every single day. I am almost there.

Yes, I was originally talking about pumping the bulb for the implant.
I was told down at the Mayo that I couldn't over pump it,,, but after the first failure and a revision surgery,,, I'm going to be a little more careful,,,, I found out it's not bulletproof...
The VED thing I'm not even going to try, I sure that could possible pull some tubing apart if I screw around with it.

Just to be clear, let your body tell you how much you pump. Pump until you just start to feel discomfort. If it's too much you can always release a little for a short time. Then after the pain subsides, add a few more pumps, usually after 5 or so minutes. Usually the tissues should stretch out a little over the first few minutes of inflation and you'll be able to put more pumps in.

I just mentioned this on another post. IMHO, when you pump to the max, you should feel the 'stretching'. You should give yourself time to heal, then pump to max again. I still think this is aggressive, but like I said, time to heal.

here is what the website from dr eid states:

Instructions for Inflating Your Penile Implant
SOURCE: UROLOGICALCARE.com J F Eid, MD

"....Anywhere from 10 to 60 squeezes may be required to fully inflate the penile implant cylinders. The larger the penile cylinder the more fluid will be needed to achieve penile firmness, the more times the pump will need to be squeezed. You cannot damage the penile pump or over inflate the cylinders, so squeeze it several times until it becomes as hard as a marble. At this point rock the shaft of the penis from side to side and up and down and squeeze the penile pump again a few times until the shaft of the penis becomes very firm. You should be able to squeeze it three to six more times. All cylinder folds and ridges should completely disappear and the shaft of the penis should be rock hard when the penle implant is fully inflated.
The majority of patients are unable to inflate the penile device fully during the first month of use.
Once the penile implant is inflated keep the erection up for 15 minutes or more and then deflate it completely.
Perform this maneuver every day for the first 2 to 4 weeks after learning how to use the penile pump or until the penis is no longer sore when fully inflated.

The above instructions came from Dr Eid website. also, i have attached a manual by dr wilson below
Dr Wilson states:

quote from coloplast manual by dr steve wilson:
Suggestions for Optimum Outcomes
It is a good idea for the patient to cycle his device daily in order to keep
the pump lubricated and avoid sticky pump syndrome. He doesn’t have to cycle completely; just pump it a few times, deflate it and then pump it one time again. This ensures daily movement of the valve in the pump. It is not necessary to press hard to deflate or to keep your finger on the deflate valve for more than a single push. If the patient is having difficulty depressing
the deflate valve, reverse the thumb and forefinger on the deflate portion. Humans have much more power in their thumb than forefinger and elderly patients may not be developing enough pressure with their fingers.
It has also been shown in the literature that the Titan will expand and possibly lengthen & widen the penis if the patient inflates daily for 1-3 hours.7 Patients will confirm this expansion as the number of pumps to full inflation will increase over time.

Thanks! That’s what I do.
