Penile implants

The device, the operation and recovery.

General discussion For anything about penile implants that does not fit the boards below, including questions you are not yet sure how to ask. 0 topics 0 posts Start a topic Considering an implant Whether an implant is right for you, how the device types compare, and what it costs. Those questions tend to come up together while you are deciding, so they share one board. Two things to keep in mind: disclose any commercial connection to a device you discuss, and if you are posting about cost, include your country and roughly when you paid so the figure means something to the next person. 0 topics 0 posts Start a topic Surgery and recovery The operation itself, the hospital stay, and the weeks that follow. Recovery varies a good deal between surgeons, so treat what you read here as other people's experience and follow your own surgeon's instructions. 0 topics 0 posts Start a topic Living with an implant Day to day life with an implant: using it, sensation, orgasm, exercise and activity. Nothing here is too basic to ask. Accounts of how things turned out, months or years later, are useful to people who are still deciding. 0 topics 0 posts Start a topic Problems, revision and replacement Complications, device problems, and revision or replacement surgery. If something is not right, this is the place to say so, whether or not you have spoken to your surgeon yet. 0 topics 0 posts Start a topic
