off to urologist on monday - odd situation - white mark on head

Very odd situation - still maintaining a stream for passing urine - seems like enough is going out and not just left in bladder , so not worried that stream is thinner than it was post catheter removal...
but...

when I drive my car, mr. happy turns into mr. disappear... when I have to go to a restroom, I have to virtually pull it out ( the regrown foreskin situation) to pee... and sometimes when driving it is painful as if pressure is pushing against the head of the penis into my body cavity....
but...

I discovered while changing my guard on friday night that there is an elongated white mark on the head of the glans from the opening of the urethra to the curved edge of the head... that in itself is not really painful to touch, but looks like a water blister you would get from a burn on your finger, but no real "water" underneath....

I have been taking daily Cialis 5mg since the catheter removal.. would use the vacuum pump twice a week for 10 minutes a shot.... for the last 5 days, did increase the daily Cialis to 10mg a day to see if there was any encouragement ( no difference) .... and haven't used the pump for a week...

I know from past pre-PCa experience guys can overdo with pumping the penis and other body parts and cause damage... but I was being cautious with the pump.. just to get it with new blood going into it...

Not very happy right now..... I have a large opening to the urethra (if that makes a difference) and the particular pain that I had been feeling would come and go if mr. happy was positioned wrong - pre-surgery .. and now similar feeling post- surgery..


I am doing my best NOT to think worse case scenario...

I will be calling urologist on Monday morning to book appointment.... personally, I would like a better urine flow, but he doesn't seem concerned... but the white mark (dead skin looking) is my main worry right now ....

Thanks for your ears...

Could it be Mr Happy is water logged ? Maybe it is just dead skin from moisture in the pad.

Worried guy talked about the retracting into the abdomen as well. Maybe he can chime in here.

Good luck Bronson - please let us know how things go tomorrow

Hi Bronson,

I hear you brother. As Goodlife said I had a similar situation and complained about for the first month after surgery.
I was pretty sure the doc messed up and gave me a penisectomy instead of a protatectomy. I had a second navel - and not even an "outie". It was an "innie"! I mean what the ?!! The only way I could see it was to pull on my catheter tubing.
After my divorce from Cathy the catheter my pee would flow down my scrotum and end up behind me into my wide open undies around my ankles Quite a magic trick, no?
The only time I can use the fly in my underwear is after I use the VED. But that ability is soon gone.
By the way, I am not overweight, so that is not the issue.
Every night before bed I shower and slather up my scrotum and its environs with either the A&D white ZnO creme or the A&D Ointment with lanolin and petrolatum to stop diaper rash. I switch off every two days to keep the fungi guessing. So far its working.

If I was clever I could capitalize on this new-found ability. Maybe make a film about John and Lorena Bobbit and call it "The Bobbit Hobbit - Now you see it , now you don't".

Good luck to you. Try the pad-in-pad trick so you can change like Al Capone voted: "early and often".

I'll have some dried fruit in that spotted dick. (English pudding of course.)

Bronson,

Thanks for the report. I really learned something from this discussion. Forewarned is For-armed, or something like that.

no itching or anything - I even forgot about it...
