TOPIC: What is your gut feeling about pmma in the long term

I\'ve been away from this forum for years. I got PMMA in 2011 I have recently been experiencing swelling after sex. This was never the case before. It only happened after masterbating. Haven\'t really read the forum much has anyone removed moms if so where any particular US dr doing it?

We are all desperate and a little crazy. That\'s why we are all here..

Why you would ever consider doing such a thing unless you were desperate doesn\'t make sense to me. The risks are there and they can be disasterous.

Having said that it took me 1 month between finding out about the procedure to having it done.
I had nothing to lose.

If you search for PMMA and cancer, it is thought of as \'not\' to be a carcinogen after years and years of studies of it being used in other applications. This is not what scares me. The scary part to me is, the foreign body, no matter what it\'s made up of.. your body will always work to try to reject it - that\'s my fear anyway. Also, look at something like a chin implant. Hard silicone, meant to last a lifetime. Even after years there is always a chance of infection. If this happens, it has to be removed, the area needs to be cleaned up and the implant replaced. With PMMA this is hard to do and not something you would want to do.
Boob jobs, hip, knee and joint replacements.. all these surgeries can be redone pretty easily nowadays.. this one.. not so much.
After saying all this, I am still leaning towards doing it. If you look at life\'s big picture that\'s actually pretty sad.

I wouldnt wonder if you get cancer from PMMA long term. After all its plastic.

I\'m trying to build up my sense of humour to match yours, HD ...

They would have to be pretty weak to not be able to handle pulling up a Dick, like the pelvic muscles of a mouse ?

Could the ED problem come with the extra weight of your penis and having weak pelvic muscles?

Indeed your case sounds similar to mine though I haven\'t used anything other than Viagra, as 95% of the time that alone will work for me. The few times that it hasn\'t I just chalk it up to fatigue. Is it the same for you whether or not you use a condom? I can perform much better without a rubber. When I\'ve had a regular partner and as long as my arousal level is high enough I can usually do the deed with taking any v bareback. So I\'m thankful for that at least. Hopeful once I finally decide to settle down I might be able to enjoy a normal sex life lol. But with a condom on, everything goes to shit.
I\'m not the resident expert around here on Removal but I\'d leave that as a final option, but I\'m sure you already know that. At the same time having more treatments isn\'t ideal either. Another PMMA touchup could make it better or worse. There\'s less of a chance of having a bad aesthetic result with the Silikon micro drops but it has another problem, the more you get the less firm you become. My penis feels noticeably more squishy, just the outside layer mind you, after having two silikon touchups(10cc total). Hopefully the Iodine and DMSO will treatments will do the trick. Regrading that, do you know if you have to keep up the treatments indefinitely or if it eventually soften up the nodules permanently? I have a couple of very hard nodules near the base that I\'ve been thinking about getting removed for the longest time. The good thing is they\'re not visible but bad thing is I sometimes feel a dull aching pain from the area. It\'s been like that with no changes since I first noticed them about 2 years ago. I was going to book a HA treatment for the glans the summer but I\'ve backed off that idea for now. Primarily because the results so far just haven\'t been all that significant. I\'m not sure the likely small increase is worth taking a chance that it may desensitize the glans even more.

There have been some published studies on Kegels\'s exercises helping Erection quality so worth considering. Shockwave therapy seems to be the new treatment for ED. There are plenty of studies and even the Urological Society of America seem to list it as an evidence based treatment. Not sure why there are not clinics on every street corner offering it - but would not be surprised to see them over the next few years.

Have you tried Kegel exercises? Suppose to be good for ED.

Also if your BMI is over 25 this can lead to poorer EQ. Get it closer to 22 and see if there is improvements.

I started doing the plank exercise a few months ago. Was only able to do it for 40s when I started. Now I can do it for 3mins and I think a side effect has been a stronger EQ. Breath in through your nose when doing it . It is very good for breathing which leads to better blood flow.

\"Your best is to go for a mindset gain so you don\'t dwarf the glans\"
Agree with ya on that

It was offered when I was last there officially. And he didn\'t bring it up or I would have went for it. From what I read and seen from one other poster, the gain is minuscule. Nothing is gonna make a 7\" mid shaft look good with 4.5\" glans. I have an odd looking penis and I\'m stuck with it.

Glans enlargement is unfeasible at this point pretty much. Your best bet is to only go for a modest gain so you don\'t dwarf the glans.

I eat very healthy and exercise. I am going to get my T checked soon. I put on muscle and feel fine so I doubt it\'s that but it could be. No processed foods.

what about silkon by DR C for making the gland bigger. I feel like i have a small gland as well. mine is only 1.75\" wide at the flare. I\'m trying to figure out my best path with PMMA and having a small gland. I\'m not sure what to do.

as far as your ED goes. are you on testosterone? what about your diet and cardio? do you drink or smoke? do you lift weights? do you eat lots of veggies? do you eat processed foods?

Wow we sound to have the exact same issues down to a T. I\'m also the same age as you and didn\'t start getting ED until after all the PMMA. I am also like 4.5ish at the glans and 7ish mid shaft. As you, I did not want to get this big. But my first procedure was a disaster(check my picture history) and I needed more and more procedure to even it out. I also did the silicone smoothing procedure. It didn\'t help all that much and my result is far from smooth but better than before. I have some hard ball like things in many places and some hard chunks that are extremely papable.

I fully regret my decision having this done the way I did. My penis looks stupid and now my erections are weaker then a 70 year old. I would do it again, however. But just 10% and small sessions. I suggest that to anyone that asks. I also have a loose Circumcision so my tiny glans disappear in the hotdog bun of PMMA when Flaccid.

Hopefully, we can figure this out. I have even contemplated getting it removed since darkstaff did it successfully. I\'m just too scared it could end up looking worse and with skinny Girth. My next plan is to get Iodine and DMSO and try to make the hard chunks soften up. I read some reports that it can help with ED. I also take every supplement that has been known to help ED. Not helping much. But combined with viagra, I can get 80% Erection that allows me to have sex.

I\'m still looking into glans enlargement using HA but want to wait until I see more results. Anyways good luck, lets keep posted if we find any improvements. Cheers
