Here are a couple of
questions asked via the Contact Form
Was your treatment
available on the NHS or did you have to pay for it?
My implant surgery
was done through the UK NHS. As you have read in my blog I did go
through every other form of treatment first - every pill available, Vacuum
Pumps, MUSE and Caverject injections. The pills did nothing except
give me a headache, MUSE was painful, the pump did help with penile health and
the injections gave me a good erection but I developed a bit of a
bend - none of them were spontaneous or that comfortable though.
Once I had tried everything I started looking at the implant as a last resort
and was told because I had tried everything else there was no problem with NHS
funding.
Is your erection
solid enough for penetrative sex and what degree of satisfaction can you
achieve?
I was offered a
choice of surgeons and implants and styles. I chose the AMS LGX700
(I only ever saw and
felt 3 different demo models in the doctor’s office) because deflated it felt
soft (the same as was normal for me) and inflated it expanded in both length
and girth. The erection I get is definitely hard enough for penetrative
sex, in fact I can inflate to be as hard as I want for as long as I want.
For the first 3
months or so after implant surgery parts of the shaft of my penis felt a
bit numb - it did not make any difference to my ability to orgasm though.
Now 2 years later I am almost back to my pre prostate surgery size, my sex life
is great, the implant is part of me and best of all my penis fits my body
again.
