Erecting the Erection - Medication

Gave it a go also, certainly got bigger and I even managed an orgasm, albeit it was soft but strange that nothing came out either. Doctor gave me some Viagra to try but to no avail as we believe that no nerves were spared. Find that out on the 16th.

Anyway one plus point is that I do not need any pads as totally dry except for a wee squirter when I fart but working on that.

Everyday is an adventure.

Take care mate and keep twerling.

I was diagnosed last year from annual PSA as my father and grandfather both had prostate cancer and my father at nearly 81 has survived 21 years post surgery although forgoing the ability to get an errectiin after his first injection left him with severe stomach cramps for several hours!

Myself at 48 despite a fairly early diagnosis had surgery 6 and a half months ago with no nerve sparing as recommended by the surgeon with my scores. My treatment and help all the way has been fantastic it has to be said. I had the pump demo with the very same lovely lass as someone else here several months back and whilst it plays a very important role in rehab and maintenance for me has not been successful in use with my partner. It does enable some fun and dry orgasms but after hearing about it here have also tried with success the same in a flacid state.

I am currently building my way up on cavajet injections which despite increased doses can have varying success or nothing at all. First dose of 5 mg had a half reaction and yet my last dose of 20 mg had no affect other than aching balls for 2 hours. Errections or the discomfort whatever their state tend to last for between 2 and 2.5 hours. I get the odd woosy feeling when I inject but think this is more sociological than anything to do with the injection lol.

Even using the pump has its issues and had to have a larger sized cylinder to accommodate things adequately and find I need to build things gradually when I use it and pull down on my scrotum farly hard to prevent everything else being sucked in which is not comfortable to say the least! The lass who went through the operation of it was truly fantastic but it can take a while to find a way that works for you. Apparently in normal life us guys get up to 16 or more detections daily (mostly while we sleep) and this is how the body naturally maintains the muscle tone down there lol.

I bought a cheap version to start with but it's totally inferior to the prescription version as well as being a bit on the narrow side for me! The problem I have with the pump is that once you get to your full size and slip on the ring (makes you sinse first time and shaved is definitely the way to go!) It's only hard from the ring up. My partner Who I must say has been the most supportive I could ever have wished for, how do I put this has a very snug fit when everything worked previously and now this causes issues with achieving penetration. I am hopeful that the injections will eventually resolve the problem despite the drawbacks but either way it will not stop us having intimate time even if it is restricted. I fully intend getting out there and leading my life to its full.

One thing that is very apparent from reading everyone's individual cases here is that we are all very different in how we react and deal with stuff. My dad was dry from day 1 when they removed his catheter and I am still working on it but mostly dry after 6 months. Last year was not one of my best with this, my mother passing away and going (still am) through a divorce,selling and moving house in the next month all has an effect but I will not be knocked back and will do whatever I can to make the most of my life.

In some ways I see this as a blessing to give me that much needed boot up the back side and get on with my dreams!

Hi all

Saw doctor 2 weeks ago who prescribed Viagra, told to take half of a 50mg tablet more than twice a week to start with.

Well I am afraid it isn't making any difference to the old fella but I was told that may be the case as there were no nerves spared, in fact I don't think there was much left down there.

Had a meet up with consultant last Tuesday who informed me that the cancer was pretty wide spread in the pelvic area but thankfully no intrusion into my bones. Prostate was 80% cancerous, 7 out of 16 lymph nodes cancerous and seminal vesicles also badly affected, which were also removed.

Bad news was the 1.5mm spot at the bladder which they said could not be operated on due to the chance of severe damage to the bladder, so RT is being organised to try and get this destroyed. This was not really a surprise as I was told that RT would probably be required anyway.

Good news is continence has returned to normal with no more leaks whilst farting/sneezing.

Need to really get going on the ED side of things now as the consultant just said that he would speak to someone shortly but gave no indication of when and who. I have had a couple of dry orgasms, which were totally strange, although these were delivered with a very soft wee fella. Viagra at present making no difference so may have to invest in a pump as going with other guys comments it seems to take a lifetime to get one. Other option would be an injection but again was not given any indication when I would meet someone to discuss this.

Ready to get back to work too, I have a meeting with the company's medical team next week. Cannot wait to get back to work as starting to get cabin fever now.

Take care everyone.

Sanders, instead of wondering when someone will sort it out for you, why not just ask your GP to make a referral to the ED nurse or andrology clinic in your area? If the GP says it is the consultant's responsibility, phone the consultant's secretary and ask him/her to arrange it. Push for the injections or pellets or even the gel. As you have had non nerve-sparing, it is a waste of valuable time to hang around trying viagra or other tablets :-(

I would avoid buying a pump if you possibly can get it on prescription. The proper ones cost around £350 but are available free on the NHS in most CCG areas. The sex-toy kind that you get from Amazon or Ann Summers are nothing like the proper ones.

Spoke to GP who put me on Viagra, told him about non nerve sparing but he told me to try them anyway.

He knew I had an appointment with consultant so probably left it for him but I will be making enquiries soon to try and get something done.

Your correct in the fact that tablets aren't doing any good and I am easting my time.

As regards the pump Lloyd pharmacy do them but you need a doctor's prescription. I cannot wait for one on Yhe NHS if it going to take months. Or even to get Yhe injections.

Thanks for the advice.

Even with supposedly full nerve sparing none of the tablets work in the slightest at 8 months. Pump is fab for exercise daily but not the real thing at all when it comes to the business - but beggars can't be choosers. Injections showing real promise but dose problems. If I get it right it will be good. Sneak off to the loo at 7am , woo the wife at 7.15 , just get it on at 7.30 , then two lurchers and a child stampede in at 7.45 !! Damn it.
My pump came from imedicare.com. It is a somaerect and is good. With a spare set of rings cost my GP £200. But you should really get a demo. If the rings aren't fitted it's useless.

I stand corrected - I thought you could only buy this from overseas websites unless you had a prescription but apparently not. How shocking though that it is cheaper to the general public than to the GP practice! 

The ErecAid Esteem is what John has and seems to be the most popular among prescribing ED nurses and GPs - I would go with this Sanders if you can afford it! 

Note though that you don't have to buy the Erecaid lube - KY jelly might be cheaper at Tesco :-0

I must say it was not pleasant but not sure if in time if it will improve?

Glad it worked for you Chris, just shows how very individual we all are in the same boat lol

Hi Chris P
I think I used 5 with very hit and miss results , and then 3 on the run that were consistent but could obviously be better. I get throbbing pain and it's not nice but it's worth it for some poontang. Not sure about the aching nut though mate. Don't give up, today was worth the perseverance!!
