When will a scrotal graft be necessary?
Re: When will a scrotal graft be necessary, Nessie
Hi Nessie,
The use of a scrotal graft is really necessary for any one who is seeking adequate depth for penetrating sex. For the past year we counsel the patient pre-op and do it at no extra charge, because we want you to be a happy. You never know when Mr. Right comes along.
Very rarely when a patient says do not do it, if they are confirmed asexual or lot older, and it is desirable to save 45 minutes of operating time, that step will be eliminated in the interest of patient safety. Unless someone has a stretched penile shaft skin length of 7 inches, we heartily recommend that
scrotal graft extension be done.
In conjunction with this we also recommend electrolysis starting 3 months before. We have seen hair grow back on patients who have last moment epilation in the operating room. Even if successful the trauma to the scrotal tissue may reduce ideal graft take.
The scrotum will stretch almost like a latex glove, so once the graft is above the level of the pelvic floor, you can build upon our depth to suit, providing you embark upon early and dedicated stent usage, until again Mr. Right comes along.
If dilation is painful initially, this is quite normal. Then consider EMLA cream or lidocaine jelly 2%. Please do not procrastinate. Your doctor will show you, using the palm of your hand, how hard you can push safely. Even if you just gain an 1/8″ every week, it adds up.
