TOPIC: PMMA: swelling after sex

Damn that link tho, is PMMA really a risk factor for cancer?

I had swelling for he first few years, but it seems to have stopped
I agree...it\'s worrisome
Would like to know the reasons and longterm effects

I believe that this is the most dangerous thing about PMMA and it fearing that more than unregularities or other thinks.
When you get the inflammation and swelling that can only end bad on the long term, particularly guys who are using their dicks a lot

I haven\'t had too many issues with swelling. I used it for an hour and a half the other night. No issues the next day, except a sore wife

It does hold a pump longer though. If I pump in the morning, it\'ll still be noticeable around dinner time.

Go down to the section \"inflammation and cancer\" ...

If it swelled up every time after sex that would freak me out, especially if it was noticeable

Swelling may not sound serious, but it can be. I\'m not privy to what kind of long-term impact ongoing swelling can have on the body. I do know that this type of swelling would be considered \"inflammatory.\" Here\'s something I found online:

\"Inflammatory swelling may be either acute or chronic. The presentations of acute swellings are redness, local fever, pain and impairment of function of the affected organ. The related lymph nodes will be affected and will show signs of acute lymphadenitis. Chronic inflammatory swellings will show the signs of acute inflammatory swellings, but in subdued form. In this case, edema might not occur. Chronic swellings can be differentiated from neoplastic swellings by the fact that neoplastic swellings never recede in size, but inflammatory swellings may show occasional diminution.\"

Would be interesting to hear an unbiased physician\'s take on the aforementioned. I remember reading about a member here that had some kind of chronic swelling issue of an immune-related nature.

PMMA\'ed areas do retain fluid longer than normal body parts. When I pump, the more heavily PMMA\'ed areas stay engorged for much longer than areas with less and areas with little or none.

I think swelling is fluid that is releases form the cells as they get irritated, It is just an initial bodily defense mechanism.
In this particular PMMA case, normally it should not be an issue.

I too had some pain but it certainly caused slightly more Girth and it wasn\'t soft, it just felt regular but bigger. The pain for me was mostly near the glans and at the base. This was only if I had sex daily or twice a day. I\'d rest for a day to 2 days Max and it was back to normal.
You guys felt the same way?

The swelling just makes me a little thicker. It does not affect my Erection nor does it feel softer. If I have sex 2 days in a row my partner notices I am thicker on the second day. It does not hurt.

omni\'s question is not answered - \"does it hurt, does it look awful?\". Musky\'s \"inactive bat between your legs\" may be linked to the answer but chester is hitting it; swelling is really not good. Not because of a soft Dick but because of the \"potential health problems\" - frequent swelling at the same spot can trigger a growth ...

I\'m 6 weeks post R1. Every time I have sex I have some residual swelling for 1-2 days. Sometimed even longer. It\'s not inflammed or irritated, just really soft and spongy and it\'s obvious there\'s fluid in there.

I was curious if this subsides as the months/years pass and the implant settles or if it\'s pretty much a routine thing to expect.
