TOPIC: 2 years post PMMA with Dr. C immense swelling out of nowhere. (Photos Inside)

So let me just introduce myself,
It’s been a while since I’ve been on the boards, i was part of the the 2.0 board, username was McLovin, my journey can be found there. I’ve currently had 4 total sessions with Dr. C. with my first session being back in 2014. It’s been a pretty smooth ride for me overall, very few if any complications and for the most part a very good aesthetic result overall. It’s been about 2 years now since my last procedure and out of nowhere my penis has begun to swell immensely. I’m normally about 6 1/2 Erect Girth and now I’m at about 7 1/2. There’s no pain or discomfort at all, just a lot of swelling. Similar to the swelling that occurs a few days after the procedure. It’s currently been in this state for about a week now. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience or what they think may be the cause.
Just posting to let everyone know the situation and keep everyone posted. We’re all here to help each other.

Have Dr C check for infection or lymphatic obstruction. Both could be possibilities. Is swelling red and hot or just soft and fluid filled?
Good luck

I have heard of (and seen for myself) that pumping and/or an extended, aggressive session of sex or masturbation can induce what appears to be a swelling that'll be significant enough to see a temporary change in Girth. Usually effects can persist days after said-stimulation, and how well it's understood I don't know. I've even experienced it a few times, always directly after one of the aforementioned stimuli.

Any chance this may pertain to your situation?

I can think of 3 members who have had a similar occurrence.

@The Hulk had swelling as a result of an infection, which resolved.

@Big John reported sudden onset of swelling. He reported it was "showing minor daily improvement but has not gone away." However, he hasn't even logged in again since that post and given he was once a frequent contributor, but then stopped posting once he was happy with his penis, I strongly suspect it continued to improve and went back to normal. It would be extremely unlike @BigJohn not to continually be asking for advice and support if the issue persisted.

@Charlie1 reported sudden swelling and hardening, but as of his last post, it was "returning to normal."

Hey McLovin, I actually remember your progress report in Phalloboards 2.0.
It stood out for me since you were an European patient and UNCUT, so I could relate to your situation. You had some excellent results being uncut.

I just went through your old progress report (link if anyone want to read it: phalloboards.websitetoolbox.com/post/my-...ns-6373789?&trail=15 ) and it appears you had a similar circumstance of swelling in 2015 after using an extender 7 months after your second round.
As Skeptical One already pointed out, it can happen if you do PE excercizes or have rough sex/masturbation. Could this be the case? If so, I wouldn't worry too much, but I'm also sure Dr.C will chime in this topic soon or later and give you expert guidance.

I’ve contacted Dr. C, he Responded very promptly asking me for some pics and will get back to me today with his opinions. As of now he just suggested I take Advil 3 times a day to help keep the swelling down a bit. As for the swelling itself it doesn’t seem to really be hot, maybe slightly warmer than the rest of my body but just overall swollen, I can still get a good Erection though. So not sure exactly what’s going on.

I was pumping daily, nothing to aggressive, just bathmate about 5 - 8 minutes a day. That was going on for a few years so nothing out of the ordinary routine per say.

Thanks for the links @hoddle10 I’m going to check them out and see if there are any similarities to my current situation. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply @Gg82 yes I had a similar situation months after my second round. It lasted about a week tops then settled down. This has so far been longer than a week at about a week and a half now almost 2. I’m not panicking just a little concerned. There is absolutely no pain whatsoever, which is a good sign as well as no hardening or anything like that. Yes I am uncut which posed greater risks with the procedure however Dr. C was extremely careful and we went for minimal gains each round attempting a slow build process rather than filling large amounts. That’s why I spread it out over 4 rounds. I’m very please with the results, and Dr C has responded extremely quickly to my email yesterday as always. Hopefully he gets back to me today with some info.

@McLovin19 would you mind posting the photos you are sending to Dr C here as well? As useful as before and after photo's are, nothing beats recovery or complication photo's in terms of benefiting the forum, as these are the times that are the most stressful in the PE journey.

Also, have you found that you keep any temporary pumping gains, either Erect or just a fuller Flaccid, better since you have had PMMA?

I don’t know if any gains have remained permanent through pumping. Mostly do it to help blood flow and Erection quality

So I woke up this morning and noticed that the swelling was down a little, not much. But I can feel the the hardening of the PMMA she’ll below the skin. Much harder than usual.
First to pics are from last night what I sent Dr C.
Last pic is from this morning.

That "slight hardening" accompanies the swelling. It's not like a soft swell but a denser collagen it feels like. I very much suspect it's the same reaction I've had and others have reported having, especially since you confirmed being a pumper (irrespective of how intense the pump session was that day). That said, Dr. C's opinion on the matter should be final, but I wouldn't be alarmed given what you've described and shown in the photos.
