Did you pump and/or use DHT (dihydrotestosterone) cream before or after surgery (and did it help)?

I got a pump and DHT cream from my surgeon about 6 months before my metoidioplasty. I didnt use them for very long, maybe 2 weeks total, mostly due to being very busy in school and laziness. For those 2 weeks, I did notice a change (ie. more phallus length), but it went back to normal as soon as I stopping pumping. Some people will swear pumping makes a difference, some will say it doesnt help at all. I suspect it makes at least some temporary difference, especially if you pump the recommended twice per day; that way it is virtually always slightly enlarged. Personally, I have my doubts about the possibility for permanent changes (changes that stick around after pumping is permanently stopped). I can see how pumping after surgery would be helpful to stretch out scar tissue, but I was unable to pump post-operatively due to my fistula complications.
