I have started a new blog about penile implants. The link is Penile Implant

The first page of the blog my story "One Mans Journey." It is my journey from the onset of Peyronies in 1995.

Anyone interested in more information or would like to comment send me a PM or an email at jwp104@att.net.

The story is dedicated to my lovely wife of 42 years. Dr. Douglas Milam, Todd Doran MS PA-C and the staff at Vanderbilt, and Old Man of this forum.

3 & ½ Years Later

I was at my local urologist for my check up yesterday. It has been 3 ½ years since he sent me to Dr. Milam at Vanderbilt. We chatted a while about the urethral puncture by another local doctor and then my progress to date.

Since I was hurt just before Thanksgiving getting hit while walking in a parking lot and having a ruptured disk he wanted to check the implant. At first he jokingly asked, "Do you get to use that thing". I told him only 4 to 6 times a month.

He inflated my implant and was very pleased with the results and that it was not damaged when I was hit. I said something like peyronies did a number on me and he said you have had a great recovery.

My recovery has been a great gift from God. It restored the pleasure of marital sex that God intended for us to have. I fully believe that marital intercourse is a gift of pleasure from God.

I tell both men and women, yes I have women write me about their husbands, about my progress. All I asked for was a usable erection and with the skills of Dr. Milam and the staff at Vanderbilt I have so much more.

I don't mind sharing my story and the results of my research. No I am not a doctor and am not any part of a doctor's practice, hospital, or device manufacturer, just a layperson that has done tons of research and willing to share.

As we all know our penis is our pride and joy. In my case at 18 I was about 6". At 50 I had gained weight and was about 5 ½". That was just before peyronies struck. I lost a lot of length. At my stretch test just before my implant is was 4" on my best day. When my implant was activated I was measured at 4 ¼", at my 3 month check up I was measured at 4 ¾" and at my one year check up just under 5". At 18 months I had started to regain glands erections and was almost 5 ½".

Last August I went back to Dr. Milam because of my bladder problems. I was sure I needed another TURP. I had a cystoscopy and Dr. Milam said I had an over active bladder and that another TURP was not in my future all I needed was Enablex. That has worked well for me.

During our conversation Dr. Milam and I discussed many things. One of his comments was he was now seeing men with expansion up to 3 years. When I got home I checked and sure enough I was just over 5 ½".

I have learned many valuable things along my journey. The number one thing men need to know is the size of your penis does not make you a man. One day I asked the beautiful green-eyed girl I married is how does my penis feel to you now. (We have now been married over 43 years.) She said "Jack, you feel just the same as always."

The first night home after my implant was activated I lay on my back with a hard penis sticking straight up. No Shots, No Pills, No VED and constriction ring. Just me!! I felt normal again for the first time in years.

The first several weeks with an implant there is a learning curve on using it. At one year I thought this is great how can it get better. Well it did. At 18 months my glands erections had returned. At 2 years I again thought it could not be better but again I was wrong. Today 3 ½ years my wife and I are like young lovers. I am 69 and she is 71. We have more fun now than when we first married.

My advice to any man needing an implant is do not use a general practice urologist. A Male Sexual Function / Urodynamic Specialist is the kind of doctor you need. If you have lost penile size, have peyronies or any related penile problem you need a doctor skilled in using the special instruments. For restoration of penile size the AMS 700 LGX is the only implant that expands in both length and girth. A good graphic is at (BROKEN LINK REMOVED) To my knowledge there are only 3 or 4 doctors that have these skills so be prepared to travel. Those of us that have used Dr. Douglas Milam at Vanderbilt will tell you he is the best in the world.

Any one that has any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Plain language is fine with me, I am not offended.

Remember marital sex is Intended for Pleasure and a gift from God.

voulezvous

Just to add a little more praise for JackP, I want to say that he was a huge resource to me (even though we never met in person) about 3 years ago when I was debating whether or not to take the huge step of having an implant done to correct my Peyronies Disease. Now that I have had the procedure & 2 1/2 years have passed, I can only echo his satisfaction with both the AMS LGX but also with the amazing recovery I have had in size and, of course, use. We are always cautious to say that an implant should be a last resort, especially if you are young, but, if all else has failed, its a medical miracle.

I am also his age (70) & can truthfully but not boastfully say that God's gift of sex doesn't have to end with age. The implant is necessary, yes, but our greatest sex organ is between our ears!

Welcome back, Jack.
