Pump
I’m looking for some feedback on using the pump
I am at the 24 month point and since summer I only use it once a week and have noticed a decrease in length of about 1/2” sound right?
Haven’t had an erection since before the surgery, so I guess that’s it for me. Still taking the 5mg tadafill
Any thoughts?

Use it religiously to maintain what length you have. There is an excellent publication discussing much more aggressive dosing of PDE-5 inhibitors than the 5mg dose of Cialis (attached for review). I started max dose Viagra daily without the results I was looking for at 24 months, but better response than 5mg Cialis which I was on previously. I did move to needle injections and have a normal erection with the shot. Not my favorite thing to do but it does work
Good luck to you,
jc

Hi,
The pump is a more "natural" way to increase the blood supply at the cavernous area of the penis, but it doesn't help in increasing or maintaining the length after prostatectomy.
Typically they cut off 2 to 2.5 cm which is the diameter length of the dissected prostate. To have it back the surgeon must free the area cutting some muscle holding the flesh at the tip of the bladder.
A shorten penis is a problem when peeing. It points front wards ejecting allover the place when we are seated.
