After 5 years of Scleroderma and unsuccessful erectile dysfunction treatment I had a penile implant!
I am 53 years old and had previously tried all available treatments from oral medications to injection therapy with zero "0" success. My physican gave me an AMS pamphlet and a lot to consider. At 53 and in resonable good health and a desire to again share deep intamacy with my wife, the decision really became clear to me. All ed men need to consider their own personal relationship needs, and truly consider their options.
For me it was the best choice and I am here to say that after only 2 days it (the implant) was not that bad and the pain is more of a level of discomfort and managed with minimal drugs and ice packs. Sort of feels as though I was hit by a soccer ball but the ache is very tolerable, especially since the benefits will last a life time and the pain will eventually go away.
Anyone considering an implant, please feel free to contact me and I will share more of my perception...
dear friend feeling good. i had a perineal prostatectomy,left me impotenet. been waiting 3 long yrs to get some erection but no use.very scared i have an appointment with an implant surgeon the 22nd of oct 2008.what scarring me is i start with 6".now after 3 yrs i'm only 5" with vaccum. i honestly dont want to live the rest of my life with 3".so dear friend, what you think did you loose any .and with ambicor implant each tube is maybe start with 12.5mm two of them 25mm which is sad as girth.please i need some advices before i see the surgeon.hope i hear from you.
i had some stomach surgery in the past. maybe i'll be able to do ams ultrex or not we'll see thank you very much
Hello.
You are wise to consider all your options. I can truly appreciate your concerns and trepidation regarding a potential implant because I too shared some of your same reservations. In retrospect, I guess my fears were a little too vast because, the reality of spending the rest of my life totally impotent was a bigger fear than perhaps the minimal loss in length or girth.
To be honest I to was about 6"+ before my disease caused the ED and now I am closer to
5-1/2" in length. With the AMS implant girth is the same and the 2 tubes retain a certain quantity of fluid even when the implant is deflated, so my glans appears full and natural even when flaccid.
Look, it is natural to have apprehension about a procedure that will alter your perception and somewhat the appearance of your male autonomy. But the results for me were remarkable both mentally and physically and "yes" I truly felt like a new man or I should say, "a whole complete man!" A man who once again could share the pleasure of true intimacy and be much happier, fulfilled and supportive for my wife and family.
The loss of a 1/2" in length is a very small price for the quality of life I have regained!!! Hopefully you will also be able to share in a better quality of life too; good luck and please let me know how things go for you. Take care my friend...
hello my friend.
this is me again eddys123 thanking you indeed for answering my questions.well i believe if i loose another 1/2inch will be ok . i'm going to stop worrying & the implant could end up a good choice.too many things to worry about.infection,loosing inches,unskilled surgeon etc etc.any way your e mail was very helpful i read it maybe 3 times a day, it's giving me hope to regain my self esteem&my life with my wife & 3 boys i have.because i read lots of e mails about pple who had bad implats,wrong size implant,perforation etc etc .so i'm worry a bit but i'm going to plunge in &talk to a chief urologist surgeon on 22 of oct who suppose to have many yrs of experience& done many many implants.so wish me luck.i wish you all the good health& to be free from your disease.i'll be talking to you about my situation .
