Silicon Implants leaking

[No_Nads_Dan (imported)]

Earlier this year I started playing with them a little rough squeezing them, I started getting a burning sensation right under the left implant so I'm thinking it could be leaking silicon this is BAD a week later it happened again I have these so called implants for over 22 years so then I started to look-up on Google silicon poisoning and WOW there's a lot on the net and one article I read they should be changed every 7 to 8 years including the sailing ones because of bacteria (forgive my spelling) The manufactures say they should last a lifetime LOL

Back in the early 90's I worked as a Medical Biller at a Dr's. Office we had one pt come in with one of her Brest implants had busted because someone Dr. used ultrasound on it. She had all the symptoms listed at this URL http://www.jussta.com/symptoms_of_silic ... soning.htm

And she could not get a Doctor. to remove them.

I'm starting to have a lot of depression over this it is BAD because I have some of the signs of silicon poisoning I am making a last ditch effort in seeing the Dr. that put them in 22 years ago, on Oct 5th wish me luck. Any ideas?

My advice stay away from implants they do brake down over time not worth the hassle.

Hej!

Interesting story you have posted here. I had major issues with implants after my castration. I got them immediately but soon I got all the symptoms of a rejection with inflamminaton and scrotal skin degeneration. Finally they came out. Giving it a second chance I did not have an immediate rejection but I had continours symptoms of illness. I just fealt weaker as before and cought easily any cold.

Finally the implants were removed and they showed vrious signs of rejecton by the body. Realizing that all I just would do implants again.

Did you have your implants removed? Cheers, AEunuch

WOW, I have never considered implants, I wanted mine gone why would I want some more back? Then again why do people rush to get castrated only to take HRT right out of the box? I guess I am just confused but thats ok to I am in great company, take MacWolf for an example.

For some, it is not an issue of hormones. BIID is a good example - it's about the bits, not the T - they don't belong (the physical presence), but the identity remains fully and preferably functional as male.

Not yet I'm going to see the urologist in two weeks

that put them in 22 years ago

maybe he will have sympathy and remove them.

Your right I wanted them out and I let the Doctor talk me into implants, I'll never know why

As Sister K said there are more then one reason for having an orchiectomy. Cancer, Orchialgia, other things I'm sure. And for those of us that are not truly into the idea of being asexual implants can be important to our body image. I know this is often talked about with women but many men have the same issues.

So, for me it was important to get implants. I was a tad worried about the issues of liquid silicone (Safety) and opted for the solid (but squishable) types. I'm very pleased with them and also appreciate the affect that I get from HRT.

I was offered implants but the thought of putting plastic in my body just seemed strange to me.

Now I'm left with an empty bag of skin that is always in the way and pulls and tugs especially in hot weather.

"Plastic" sounds dreadful but I think it would be worth asking to see a sample of the implants before making any decision or making statements that might influence others who don't have any knowledge of this. Do they "feel" right or ARE they hard plastic? Some are better (Much) then others.

"fake" "plastic" "Alien" are all poor ways to describe what I have. Mine feel very normal and natural. For a short time I had one natal and one implant and other then the implant being much larger they felt very similar. I admit it might seem just a tad silly to be worked up about having a pair "Artificial or not" but its important to me and thats what I think is important.

I agree with you Donald

Just recently I stomach problems had to go to see a Gastroenterologist he asked me about HRT and why I was on it. (this is funny) I told him I was Castrated he wonted all about it so I told him.

Sooo... now he is checking me and finds the implants and he is checking and checking I said doc have you herd of implants ? with a si of relief he said " That explains it one was softer than the other" he could not tell the difference

Mine are leaking and I won't them out and all that lose skin with it.... Smooth Look.

If I had the choice back then I would go with solid (but squishable) types

Dr's appointment is about a little over a week hopefully getting this taken care of.

Is there someone else having the same problem? :luv2lurk:

I Just saw the Dr. that did the Surgery 22 years ago he was very reluctant but he agreed to remove the Implants, surgery is scheduled at the end of the month.

kristoff is right " it's about the bits. I had a strange experience I guess there is two sacks in the scrotum the inner sack started burning running up the to the pelvic bone is painful.

For some, it is not an issue of hormones. BIID is a good example - it's about the bits, not the T - they don't belong (the physical presence), but the identity remains fully and preferably functional as male.

Learned this concept of just wanting to be testicle free, not necessarily testosterone free, from kristoff about a week ago which is a thought process I had never considered before.

I suppose that after having the "bits" removed one could either use HRT, or not, and almost "swing back and forth" from being on T and off T, for different experiences now and then. A roller coaster ride for the mind, body, and emotions.......not for the faint of heart!

Having pondered the subject further, while this would be quite out of the ordinary, I suppose one could, after surgical removal acquire the largest heaviest replacement "bits" possible, take HRT, and be a real swinger, so to speak. Create some real locker room envy.

But then again, without a humongous to go along with the heavy hangers it might look very odd and not be a package that one would be proud to display. Just play thinking (aka: fantasies).

I did not know What I was getting into, on T off T, over the years things start shrinking at the time all I could think of was getting castrated was not thinking about the side affects, I had no clue WOW.... now my flaccid doing is at best 1.5" sometimes you gotta dig to find it, OMG it's lost in the scrotum again.... Just play thinking (aka: fantasies)

Thats a good thought. The new (Testicular) replacements ought to have some relationship to the man's penis. If he is well endowed a large swinging set would be fine. If he is underwhelming in the penis department it would just dwarf his cock and possible get in the way.

I had one silicone implant after I had removed my left testical February 1986. The implant was put in April of 1988. I had the implant until I removed my right testical and implant may of 2002. The implants are not liquid filled. They are kinda of a stiff/jelly like material. Infact they are a bit sticky to the touch. The body will form a membrane around the implant. It has blood vessels and nerves and it can get painful if there is rough play involved. I had that problem often if I used the bander or rough played with the implant. Also the implant is usually secured to the original testical cord. This gives the implant stability and in many situations will move up into your body just like your original testical. There can be situations that the membrane or even the testical cord can become inflamed and in rare situations infected. As for the sick feeling you are getting after you think that you may have ruptured your silicone implant is more likely a discomfort from the membrane irritation. If you like the implant then leave it alone. The pain will go away.

Thanks, I had them removed on December 14th I had reached a place that all I could think about was getting them out. I had my wife team up with me in the Doctors office and he reluctantly said OK. Now I'm having a problem with my scrotum sticking to my legs getting in and out of the car is painful my sack gets stuck under me maybe I'll have a scrotum reduction done when things heal up a little more, I kind of like to have it smooth

I believe this is incorrect. The cord is not connected to the implants. Most testicular Implants (Prosthesis) have a tab that is sewn into the scrotum but it would be impossibly painful to try to connect it to the cords. These are filled with nerves and ofter are a cause of post op pain if they are not properly cut (Way up in the inguinal canals) otherwise the cords will try to connect and if so you end up with chronic pains.

A cord like "connection" may well be felt but this is scar tissue forming a capsule around the sewn in tab connection. The same sort of capsule may form around the implant.

I want implants and wondered where did you get your's? I have found that the solid ones are the ones to get but a Vet or Dr. have to order them. Any information you can share is appreciated.

Solid (No liquid Saline) prosthetics are available from Silimed or AART in Nevada. Check both out. Dr Alter was the one who suggested these and he has good credentials. He is both a Urologist and a cosmetic surgeon (One of like 2?)

Good luck

Checked out the sites but seems the same issue I need a physician order them. Maybe Dr. Alter is whom I should contact and have him do it. What can you tell me about His protocol for doing this?

[mrt (imported)]

Dr Alter responds to email so I would simply state your situation and what you want him to do. I don't remember everyone so I don't remember how you got to the point where your looking at getting implants.

Will give you his BIO and if your interested you can contact him.
