Prostheses Update and a question

I’m now four weeks post surgery for my penile prosthetic. The recovery was not so bad. There was pain, but not unbearable though. I’m still a little sore and my scrotum hasn’t returned to normal quite yet.

I got the green light from the surgeon to start using the device. He wants me to inflate and deflate three times daily for a month. The quality of the erection is almost as good as I had with tri-mix.

It seems to me that it is kind of difficult to get inflation started. Also, I get this odd vibration at the base of my penis once it is started. Is this normal? Also, why do you think the surgeon wants me to inflate three times daily for the first month. And the last question, are there cyclists out there who have a penile implant like this? I tried riding the indoor bike on Tuesday and it was less than comfortable. I’m hope it is just healing causing a problem.

One last thing, my prostheses is a Coloplast Titan.

I am years out from my implant, and I still fully inflate it when I get into the shower more often than not. It is important that the tissue be accustomed to being both inflated and deflated (just as a normal penis), so it is not surprising that the doc is insisting on this.

Regarding vibration - I can feel one each time I start the deflation process - that is how I know it actually was properly activated, nothing strange there.

No comment on the bike - but I can't think that it would be a problem. You are probably still uncomfortable from the surgery.
