My situation is very similar to yours. I had a DaVinci almost two years ago. Viagra et. al. don't help much but I can have an orgasm. Early on, I always had a lot of pain after an orgasm, sometimes for hours. A CAT scan showed fluid buildup in the pelvic area. My doc was not worried and said it would pass. Now I have orgasms witout pain. I always secrete a small amount of very sticky clear fluid.
Thanks Paul for the info. It's certainly nice to be rid of the pain. I was worried that something had gone awry when there was fluid as I thought the orgasms were always dry. Thought maybe my surgeon had hooked me up wrong or something as he did the operation in less than an hour. Now if I can just find where those two missing inches have gone...
I know what you mean about the missing two inches.
My doc told me that the clear fluid is "pre-cum" that protects the sperm from urine as it passes along the urethra. The gland that secretes it farther along the urinary tract at the base of the penis.
Thanks Dan and Paul. Very informative . This site is so great with it's many contributors. I'm glad I stumbled upon it after I had my operation. Bye from Canada - where it has been freezing cold for the last 4 months.
