Re-establishing Sex Life

Hello again, Stubos.

My research indicates that the Americans seem to concentrate on penile rehabilitation far more than we do. The great sage, Dr Scholz, recommends penile injections very soon after surgery, but I think that's almost unheard of over here.

Here's a link to his thoughts on penile rehabilitation and penile atrophy.

He doesn't advocate the use of VEDS. My research indicates they do help, but to what degree is questionable. I've never bothered with pumps, because they are too much of a palaver for me, but other blokes on here, swear by them.

As I said earlier it seems to me that the chances of regaining natural erections after non nerve sparing RARP, are unfortunately remote. I also believe that it vastly reduces the effectiveness of Viagra. In my case, Viagra was not an option as I have a heart condition, that makes taking it dangerous.

To me, it seems, there is very little NHS interest in treating RARP ED side effects. No-one seems bothered about the physical and psychological harm it can cause. I felt totally emasculated after my operation, Invicorp has helped me regain some sort of normality. This is why I keep shouting from the roof tops on how 'up lifting' it can be.

I know it seems weird and a bit frightening to inject your penis but you soon get use to it. It's virtually painless.

Hi Adrian and  Swannie, sorry again for the late response. I've had a lot going on socially atm with my wife's 60th so have been off the radar.

I had a phone call from my ED specialist on Monday. This is the second call (3 months apart) from the same lady who bit my head off for being too impatient!

She was a bit more tolerant this time. I am on Tadalifil 5mg a day. She suggested going onto Viagra, up to a couple of times a week.

I said I've been researching and that VED's seem to be helpful with rehabilitation. She agreed they were good but the NHS don't provide them (in my area) and they are expensive! She did say she could arrange for me to meet the salesman who could talk me through them. I said if a saleman's involved I'd end up with 5 pumps all different colours and I'll probably only use the black one! 😉

I did wonder why they weren't mentioned as an option though, as I believe rehabilitiation is important to keep everything working? She is going to send me some information about the use and benefits of using a VED and said that non-Medically approved versions were available elsewhere, if I was interested.

Talking about rehab, I asked if I'm not using a VED and I come of a daily Tadalafil (which I assume is keeping blood going to my pecker) then if I go to Viagra there is no 'daily' rehab/maintenance going on!

She said oh good point and suggested I take 3 tadalifil when I get the urge (not so far) instead of two.

We then agreed to book in the next 3 month appointment f2f to get the harpoon in the pecker treatment which could possibly be brought forward if necessary!

Note: I also asked her if the tablets were worth their salt. I think this was the first time she read my notes and mentioned I had a non-nerve saving RARP and basically said 'No.'

There are lots of posts out there which I am trying to take in, but am I expecting too much too soon?

Is it right I try extra tablets and the VED before the injections?

My worse anxiety is if I skip to the injections and they don't work, then I'm up the creek without a rudder - if I can even get up the creek!!!! 😉
