Thanks for posting a comment, alzak, I'm really glad to know you found it informative. I hope you're healing well and I wish you full recovery. Happy holidays!
Hey JohnnysQ, sorry to hear about your accident, surgery, and not-so-fun side effects. I hope they're getting better. Thank you for sharing, I know it's helpful for me to hear others' experiences, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Wishing you a complete recovery and happy holidays!
I have had a similar experience. I am 60 years old, and my wife and I agree that I have lost about 2 inches of length! That is substantial, and it is making sex difficult. A certain amount of length is necessary to fully penetrate the vagina and be able to move back and forth without coming out. It is still fairly soon after the surgery (6 weeks), so maybe this will improve, but it sounds like most people are not experiencing any improvement. Additionally, my "erect" penis does not point up, but out, so it is very uncomfortable when pressing against sheets, pajamas, or clothing.
And, like you, I was not told that this was a possible complications, though I asked.

Hey Brian! Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that and I do hope you see some improvement with time. I encourage you to press your doctor about this issue in your follow-ups. I can't believe that doctors are not counseling patients better about this possible complication beforehand, even when we ask, like you and I did! Thanks for sharing your experience. Maybe if other patients and doctors see these postings, patient education and expectation management can improve. Wish you an improved recovery and all the best.
I HAD MY OP 2 WEEKS AGO ,the op where they take skin out your mouth, HURTS LIKE HELL WHEN HARD .POINTS OUT INSTEAD OF UP, I ALSO LOST ABOUT 2INCH , CAN WE SUE AS 2INCH A BIT CHUNK . AT LEAST IT GOES UP haha!! but very uncomfy ,hurts like hell my surgeon did not mention shorten penis size WTF
And for your question; my erections are only about 60-70% of what they were before surgery, i sometimes am able to flex the slightest bit now, but hardly at all. It's as if it doesnt have it in it anymore. I too am a bit worried about this one, i mean im only 18 years old! Wish my doctor had warned me about this. I wasnt to thrilled with my size before either. Now im almost embarressed! I go back for a checkup in 1 1/2 months. i will ask him about this then, and keep you posted if the asnwer is any different than what you had been told. On the bright side, the flow is stronger than ever! Hope you have a speedy and full recovery too!
