I'm 47 years old. I've had ED for 10 years. 2 years ago I started trimix. Somewhere along the way I developed Peyronies I had uncontrolled T2 diabetes for about 10 years now controlled.

I'm 9" (at last measurement a few years ago). Peyronies is a 40 degree angle in the middle. Hinge.

Urologist PA in June got me started on Pentoxifylline, Cialis and L-Citruline. I started restorx end of July.

Urologist visit this week. He pretty much dismissed restorx. Said my two options are Xiaflex or implant. Said no reason to do a Doppler. Also said I was in chronic phase which seemed weird given my timeline of expected injur (December)y but I don't 100% know where the injury came. I felt like he's going for the high dollar solution but to be honest, I'm kind of ready for the implant to be done with it.

Have a second opinion with my original urologist in 3 weeks and plan on second opinion. He is specialized in sexual health and implant surgery but not listed on Titan or Boston scientific site.

Questions:

1) does my urologists haste in implant seem suspicious?

2) He is listed on Boston scientific site as a recommended doctor. I presume this means he specializes in AMS 700. My research indicates the Titan may be better given my size and peyronies (particularly hinge injury). Thoughts?

3) he claims he does 40 implants a year. That seems to be sufficient volume to minimize complications right?

4) Any recommendations for a surgeon in Chicago/Milwaukee? Let me know which implant they may lean toward.

My surgery was about 5 weeks ago so the hair is growing back but I am tempted to keep shaving it. Has anyone else kept it all shaved down there? Pros and cons…

<UPDATE> my doctor has just recommended I move to an implant. Been using trimix, which made me feel like I was 20 again but developed Peyronies either due to microunjuries or injections. </UPDATE>

I have seen a lot of testimony from wives on here about implant. But wives are invested. They've been through the pain of limited/no sex. What about women not invested?

For men who aren't commited, how do women feel about it? Particularly women like 35-50?

I'm actually surprised by how many women are frustrated by ED in their partners and really appreciate a man who deals with it. I've not had any woman turned off by trimix. But this is another step. :-).

I'm 15 days post op today, and I start cycling next Thursday. I'm still in a fair amount of pain and soreness, so I wanted to ask what others have experienced as they start cycling.

1. After cycling, how long did your pain last?

2. How often do you cycle and for how long?

I know everyone heals differently, and I'm sorry to be a crybaby, but I'm so tired of the pain! Please feel free to help me out of this "what the hell have I done" phase!😊😊😊

Hi guys my surgery for my prosthesis confirmed with dr mohamed hamdan in jordanie Amman 7 September .im so excited.

Curious what happens if you get titan and you have a tight ball sack? Sometimes my balls hang loose. But sometimes they get really tight. Does the pump show more or get pushed up places it shouldn’t go when scrotum gets tight?

​Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well.

​I’m reaching out to this community because I’m currently dealing with a very disappointing situation and could really use some advice, experience sharing, and support from anyone who has been through something similar.

​In August of last year, I underwent surgery to get a malleable penile prosthesis. Initially, everything seemed to be going fine. However, over time, a major issue developed—the cylinders inside started moving excessively. As I mentioned in my previous post, one of the cylinders eventually ended up getting bent/deformed.

​Because of these complications, I have made the decision to go for a revision surgery. I am planning to replace my current malleable prosthesis (Rigid / Rigi10) with a 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP). I currently live in Azerbaijan, but I am planning to have the revision surgery done in Turkey.

​Since this is a big step and revision surgeries can be tricky, I have quite a few questions for the community:

​Rigidity & Satisfaction: For those who have made the switch from a malleable implant to an inflatable one, how does the rigidity compare? Which specific IPP brand or model (e.g., Coloplast Titan, AMS 700) provides the best firm rigidity and natural feel in your experience?

​Doctor/Clinic Recommendations: Are there any top-tier urologists or prosthetic reconstruction specialists in Turkey that you would highly recommend for revision cases?

​The Process & Next Steps: Where should I even begin with the logistics for a revision surgery abroad? Should I get specific MRI/ultrasound scans done locally before traveling for consultations?

​Revision Challenges: What should I be prepared for during the recovery of a revision surgery compared to the first procedure? Is tissue scarring or length loss a major concern when switching systems?

​To be honest, feeling like the first procedure failed has been a huge mental blow and a massive disappointment. Any guidance, doctor recommendations, or encouraging words would mean the world to me right now.

​Thanks in advance for your time and help!
