TOPIC: Dr.Loria concerns

I had gotten 2 injections back in 2015 from Dr.Loria. I think like most other threads I’ve seen, I was under the assumption it was collagen. I now know it wasn’t but I’m also not 100% what was used back then.

This may get kind of long.

All the way up til last November I had no issues. It didn’t look the prettiest but I never had any issues whatsoever. Just a little uneven. To be honest I figured someday I’d go back and even it out. However, I’ll never inject anything ever again. I’ll tell you why.

Last September, just 2 months prior to having issues I started TRT, my testosterone levels were below 300 and just wanted some spark back. Immediately after the first shot I had to pee constantly. Like every 10 minutes. Then early November I started getting erections that were rock hard. At first I thought it was great. Having sex 2-3 times a day with the wife and life was good.

Mid November I woke up with some slight pain in my groin. Above my penis in the crease. I thought I pulled a muscle or something. The next day the pain was deeper, above my penis. There was no pain in my penis just above but by the end of the week the pain moved down into my penis. Doctors said I had prostatitis. Prescribed me antibiotics and said if it don’t get better in 48 hours to go back in. Well after 48 hours the pain was pretty bad and at this point, it was above my penis, in my penis shaft, my testicles all the way back to my anus. Which, sounded like prostatits to be honest and I do think it could have been. Anyways, they gave me IV antibiotics and I slowly started feeling better. And I mean slowly.

The last month I’ve hardly noticed any pains at all to be honest. Life has been great.

I did notice the “filler” didn’t look the same in my penis like it had moved around but I didn’t think much of it.

Last week I got some really devastating news about a family member and I’ve been extremely stressed out.

The pain slowly came back in my penis. And now, it’s only in my penis for the most part. A little in my inner thighs.

The pain is hard to describe, almost burning but not a real burn. My urine stream is weak. And I definitely feel the lee traveling through the urethra.

After researching this forum I’m thinking the injections could perhaps be inflamed?

I have a consult with Dr. Solomon on Tuesday. Looking around he seems like a good option if I decide to remove it.

Has anyone had success removing Dr.Lorias injections? I’ve seen a bunch of threads and a few talking about it but no one that actually a success doing it.

My main purpose is if it’s gonna act up when my body is stressed obviously my body is telling me it doesn’t want it in there. I do regret getting them. To be honest I don’t think they made much of a difference. I got a little thicker, uneven penis.

I am taking anti inflammatorys, quercetin, liposomal apegenin, lipo p.e.i, lipo curcumin and vitamins and aspiring does help the discomfort.

I guess my main concern is I don’t want these injections to ruin my actual penis. Obviously if there’s some pain and discomfort it’s prolly not good.

Any insight from anyone that has had them removed would be appreciated.

To be fair, as much as I dislike Loria's methods, I would have to trust the original diagnosis of prostatitis -- especially given the testicular & anal pain. It's easy to dump on Loria knowing his current & past affairs with penis enlargement, but it's one of those few times I can say that it might not actually be the silicone injections (but I can't know of sure).

Also with a quick internet search, it appears chronic prostatitis is a real thing, and this has to be considered too.

in other words, this needs the examination of a Urological Surgeon, not a Plastic Surgeon. While Dr. Solomon is every bit capable of removing the silicone, I would recommend someone who not only has done Loria removals & repairs, but has the requisite qualifications (discerning between prostatitis being the cause of your shaft and/or silicone inflammation, or whether the silicone filler itself is the primary culprit), and only one place comes to mind: Morganstern Urology ( @Rejuvall ). Again, this is not a knock on Dr. Solomon, he's been a reputable physician in the area of repairing phalloplasty botches, but your situation and the treatments involved require even more specialization.

For many patients, if the silicone filler is not the problem, but rather the proper treatment of (what could potentially be chronic) prostatitis is, it would be a needless procedure to remove the filler -- however I'm not a Medical Professional and this is my opinion of following the online PE scene for 20 years and Administrating the only site devoted to the topic of male phalloplasty for 15 years... as the old adage goes: if it ain't broke, don't fix it! In other words, the unnecessary removal of the silicone may open you up to a host of new possible complications -- the removal has to be justified. Someone with as much (if not more) intimate knowledge of Loria's methodologies combined with a Urological background are the guys to see... and frankly there are only so few, and it would be Dr. Carney of Morganstern Urology you should be contacting.

I would recommend going through with your consultation with Dr. Solomon if it's already been set & booked, it doesn't hurt to get his opinion because technically, he's generally qualified, but you absolutely should get an additional opinion from the team at Morganstern Urology for a more specialized qualification in terms of consultation & possible solution(s). I should make clear I get no commission making this recommendation, and in fact act see myself as the de facto Patient Representative in these situations. What good would this forum be if the information available lacked merit or legitimacy? Also, for transparency's sake, Rejuvall is a Sponsor, and Dr. Solomon is a former Sponsor (separated on amicable terms over Sponsorship conditions, which will be left at that) who I have every reason to believe is one of only a handful who has familiarity with Loria's nonsense, but given the prior diagnosis of prostatitis, I'm compelled to direct you to the most suitable option (example: if it were an Elist implant removal issue and did not involve a prior Urological diagnosis, I would have likely recommended to stay the course).

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you for the reply. I’ve been reading and following your talks here for the last couple days.

So I did see my Urologist, and I told him I was concerned about one of the bumps at my base and he wasn’t concerned at all. But he also isn’t familiar with fillers. When I showed him he said, “so that’s what it looks like when you have that procedure done”. lol. But he didn’t seem concerned. He did tell me there is surgeries to remove it if I wanted to.

I know I have an odd case here because prostatits causes penis pain.

I’ve also been thinking perhaps the prostatits had caused the filler to inflame.

Getting in to see the Urologist here isn’t easy. Literally the next available appointment is August. So I been researching on my own.

The good news is when I get erections, the pain goes away. After sex, I feel fine for awhile before the pain/discomfort comes back. I was just fine for the last month but I haven’t been sleeping well and beyond stressed out about the news of a family member. I’m really trying to manage the stress because I know stress causes inflammation.

I just don’t know enough about the “filler” to know if indeed it is the problem or not. But if there is inflammation in the filler, in theory inflammation can be managed? And I also think if it was the filler, the pain wouldn’t just go away or get better.

But again, I guess I just don’t know enough. I’ve been researching and reading as much as I can here and I appreciate the reply.
