Hi.

I've been viewing this forum for almost three years and have at last found the courage to join in.

I am nearer 70 than 60.

About a year ago, after a biopsy revealed I had 20 out of 24 core, Gleason 4+5, bilateral disease, prostate cancer; I had a robotic, non nerve sparing, prostatectomy.

Unfortunately the subsequent pathology revealed that the cancer had breached the prostate capsule increasing the likelihood of recurrence. But, touch wood, my two post op tests have shown undetectable PSA.

I've been lucky. I'm almost dry now and only wear pads during the day.

I suppose, like most men, I've struggled most with the impotency aspect of surgery.

I was fortunate to be seen by a specialist nurse at my local hospital erectile dysfunction clinic. Sildenafil no longer effective nor was Caverject. However she contacted my GP who approved the prescription of Invicorp and it worked!

Although its perhaps not quite as successful as the 'natural' good old days' its effective enough to give my wife a headache every time she sees me get a phial from the fridge. 😁

I hope this gives hope to others.

Keep (or at least try all options) to keep your head up boys!

100% it will be your injection technique.

If it's in the right place there is very little resistance to depressing the syringe. If there is the slightest resistance you have missed the cavernosa and need to pull out and stick it again.

Think of it like trying to inject a flat balloon it is very easy to go right through and inject the wrong spot.

The key is a lack of resistance because you have place the needle in a cavern not a bit of gristle!

Try practicing with a syringe of water (don't inject your dick with it!) The resistance in air should be the same as if it's in your cavernosa IE just what it takes to eject the fluid into nothing.

Probably helps to have a nice warm willy like when you have a soak in the bath or maybe think of some other way to warm it up! You certainly don't want to be trying to inject life into a stumpy frozen thing!

 

Good luck!

Hi Adriarnus

I had the same op just over a year ago and have been using a VED with some success. Although, it is sometimes uncomfortable and I do lack some sensation. I'd be interested to know how you get over the lack of spontaneity as  my wife and I find that a bit of an obstacle. I'm also a bit anxious about having an erection for hours and having to go to a and e!

Hi Jerry,

Although I appreciate the huge exercise benefits of a VED, its not for me. I'm ham-fisted and very impatient. I even struggle to pump up a bike tyre. πŸ™‚

Invicorp injections are quick to prepare and for me produce results with in 10 minutes. Even so, its still difficult to introduce into lovemaking.  I've found that the injections are effective for one to two hours.

I m sad to report that my faith in the wonder drug has been dashed.

The last 6 jabs have been a flop. A  little swelling but not good enough for penetration. I can't fathom it out. I inject the same way each time but recent results have been very poor.

I initially posted to give others a bit of hope but felt I had to be honest and share the disappointing news.

I won't give up. I've still got another ten phials left and will use them. If they don't work I'll try the pump.

I've been using invicorp for about 9 months now. Results vary from absolutely nothing to 3.5 hours rock hard.
The last one was the 3.5 hours one and was preceded by three consecutive failures. All from the same batch.
3.5 hours is to long and was really aching from about the 2 hour mark. I was starting to worry about a trip to A&E.
When they don't fail completely they mostly last about 2 to 2.5 hours.
Keep trying and good luck.

Hi all...so iv been following this thread and have also had some ups and downs with invicorp and caverjet. Although they both work perfect when I inject on the right hand side iv had no success when injecting on the left side. I think there are more veins on the left side and I'm probably going into them instead...I also worry when injecting the invicorp as I always get an erection which lasts going upto but not over 4 hours. Caverject injections go down after an hour. Does anybody else have these same problems?

Hello mate, welcome to the forum.

Plenty of 'ups and downs' is what you want from these injections. πŸ˜„

Joking apart. Contrary to their advice I usually inject in the righthand side and hardly ever in the left. I have much more control in the right, and never had success in the left. Its probably due to me being able to inject more accurately in the righthand side. As stated when I hit the sweet spot my erections last 2/3 hours.

I spoke to the guy responsible for Invicorp in Evolan, the Swedish manufacturer, this week. He advised they’d had a production issue but that supplies had been shipped to the UK last week and should be ok from now on. My pharmacy has told me tonight their supplier now has it and I’ll get it tomorrow. And the Invicorp.

Hi Adrianus,

I've had mixed results from both Invicorp and Caverject.  As you say, it's baffling that they seem to work one time and then not the next, even though you have administered the drug in exactly the same way.

One Problem with Invicorp is that it seems to be available at only one dosage level, whereas with Caverject, you can go from 10mcg, to 20mcg, and then 40 mcg.  I started on 10mcg. and am now using 20mcg.  I may ask for an increase to 40mcg. The downside is, of course, the adverse effects with Caverject, whereas I had none with Invicorp.

If you already own a pump, you could try injecting the Invicorp and then giving yourself a boost with the pump.  (It works for me, although, even then, my erection is still not perfect).

Best wishes with your own experiments.

Hi Adrianus,

Re: psychological barrier: I've heard it said that anxiety produces adrenalin, which is the antidote to erections!  However, I understand that Invicorp and Caverject do not require the nerves that generate an erection to be working.  Therefore, I wonder if these drugs also bypass the adrenalin's effects on erections? Or is this a separate mechanism?

Does anyone have more information?

Thanks.

I was supposedly non nerve sparing. I found stimulation was a requirement for me to get a substantial swelling. I would sometimes get a substantial swelling that would then subside, further stimulation would resurrect the swelling.

Invicorp has two drugs which separates it from the Caverject style injection. One drug directs more blood to the penis. The other restricts the flow out. On paper it says stimulation isn’t required. It worked very well for me when I used it , but on the odd attempt it didn’t.

It’s likely where the needle has passed through into the urethra and wasted some content. It is quite a long needle after all on a flaccid penis.

Are you storing correctly and at the right temperature? Have you changed pharmacy and is it possible that the pharmacy isn't storing it correctly? Or have all the fails been from one batch of 5 that might have been sitting too long in an HGV somewhere round Hull docks?

And are you ensuring you take it on an empty stomach?

I have an appt with the consultant on Friday and will be asking about erection support here in France. The VED works therapeutically but is not very successful for intercourse.

I have just read that Invicorp is not approved in France as trials were not successful and there were some potential side effects but it seems that the alternative is EDEX.

I don't suppose anyone has any experience of this as an alternative do they?

That’s funny, Adrian! Your comment about my wife’s use of a vibrator while reading in bed reminds me of the time, some years ago, when we introduced vibrators in our bedroom. Initially we tried commonly available ones. The battery operated ones were not powerful enough. I purchased a wand-type vibrator which within seconds of my wife using it decided that it was suitable only for elephants! But then we came across the Eroscillator. The main difference between this and other vibrators is that, as its name implies, its head vibrates in the horizontal plane, side to side, compared with the usual ones which vibrate vertically, up and down motion. The side-to-side vibrations simulates the movement of a finger on any sensitive spot like the clitoris or the frenulum on a penis; better than the ‘thumping’ action which does not feel natural. We have been using this one for many years and it has become a very useful addition in our sex repertoire; following prostatectomy it has been particular useful. This oscillator is the only one sponsored and recommended by the famous American sexologist Dr Ruth who says “The Eroscillator really can make your sex life better”. It is not cheap; you can purchase it from Amazon but see the various options at eroscillator.com. It is mains operated, comes with 6 different heads and a long cord, suitable for hotel bedrooms! It is not cheap but Amazon has deals with fewer heads.

Have you done it that way for a long time with no problems I.e causing a bend ect?

No kinks here (well at least not in my willy πŸ˜„)

5 injections a month for 7 months. 4 or 5 flops but the rest have been straight as a die.

I should persist with trying the left hand side, I just don't like the chance of failure and wasting a valuable jab. 

There are a pair of corpora cavernosa which fill with blood when you get an erection, and you should inject into one of them. Presumably massaging the penis after injecting opens both to blood flow?

Just wondering if you could practice left handed technique using your left hand with a pen?

Or practice jabbing fruit like an orange or banana left handed? 

Another way could be to do it completely cack handed, using your right hand to inject the left side of your penis. 

Good luck.

I inject ony about 3/4 " to 1" from the base. I inject the entire needle length but I believe they recommend half the needle length. If the top of the penis is 12 o'clock you aim for 2 or 10.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube to view on injecting. Obviously try not to hit any blood vessels.

There is definitely an art in injecting and hitting the sweet spot. Practice makes perfect.

Never_ Enough.

I'm sure if stored correctly it would still work well past its sell by date. Maybe it's like wine and would get even better. 😁

I'm afraid I can't help regarding taking it on holiday or a weekend break. However, I know people have but I'm not sure enough exactly how.

You can definitely prepare a syringe full early and leave it outside the fridge. I've done it many times. There's nothing worse than the love of your life being up for it and then you've got to spend half an hour preparing the jab. As you say it completely spoils the spontaneity. In fact, I think my missus has nodded off a couple of times, while I've been faffing about cracking phials and changing needles. 😑

Best of luck mate.

That is my understanding too. I had non nerve sparing RARP.  So I assume Invicorp just opens up the blood supply to the penis. Like turning on a tap, a mechanical process, which then holds the blood there to maintain an erection. If that is the case I'd doubt psychological issues would affect it.

It just seems very weird that it works sometimes and doesn't at other times. I always jab at the 10 or 2 clock position towards the base of the penis. Alternating sides to avoid any scar tissue. So administering the drug is always consistent  yet the results aren't. It does my head in!

Hi Lyn,

I'm storing it in the fridge next to the Lurpak.

It's from the same chemist and well in date.

I'm taking it on an empty stomach.

I think I must be injecting in the wrong place. I often draw blood. Yesterday's failure didn't draw blood but caused severe bruising.

Lurpak is definitely an indicator of a man with taste.

We have had a couple of batches where not a single injection worked but it was soon after Brexit when the ports were all in crisis and lorries were sitting for days on end. We haven't had any problems recently.

It shouldn't be drawing blood or causing bruising, though - practice makes perfect!

Apologies for being late to this conversation, I don't drop in so often now.  I am an Invercorp user and have also experienced the failure to have any effect.  Disappointing to say the least when it happens.

Then I tried using the pump before injecting.  I reasoned that if the cavernosum (sp) is deflated it was a small target and easily missed.  Since switching to this method I have not had a single failure.

The usual caveats, we are all different. I had a prostatectomy and Radiotherapy and have no 'natural ability' to generate an erection.

Cheers all, I hope that you have equal success.  Invercorp is an amazing product (when it works) that doesn't seem to have any downside to it

Thank you very much for your input.

I don't use a pump and like you I can't get a natural erection. What I did was follow another users advice, to soap down with warm water, to get a little swelling, then inject the Invicorp. Touch wood, it now works like a dream!

As you say its imperative to inject in the right place. It is indeed a fab product when injected correctly. It's enhanced my life immeasurably.

Once again many thanks.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I have been using Caverject succesfully for 16 years. Recently I had 3 failures, including one where I doubled the dose.

I will try the methods you have suggested and report back. As Caverject is unavailable again, out of stock very annoying, I have ordered some Invicorp 25.

 I will keep you posted and your conversation and advice has been very reassuring. Thanks again.

Have you been getting your Caverject on prescription? I get Invicorp prescribed.  Only five phials a month. They obviously dont realise what a love machine I am.

I keep stockpiling a few for special occasions like  birthdays and Xmas. πŸ™‚

Ordered mine privately but very expensive. If it works will try to get it on prescription, although my doctor doesn’t seem aware of it.

I have an appt with the consultant on Friday and will be asking about erection support here in France. The VED works therapeutically but is not very successful for intercourse.

I have just read that Invicorp is not approved in France as trials were not successful and there were some potential side effects but it seems that the alternative is EDEX.

I don't suppose anyone has any experience of this as an alternative do they?

It is French Caverject, identical stuff according to Google.

Same as British caverject but with a hint of garlic.

Hi JDHD

I have just seen your post in this thread. Whilst VEDs have many advantages, even after you get over the problem of discomfort when putting the ring/s on and taking them off, the issue of spontaneity is a major hurdle. The success of this approach depends on team work, both psychologically and practically. My wife and I had known each other for nearly 50 years with a good sex life when I was diagnosed and had my prostatectomy (2021). Like many couples we were willing to do everything necessary to re-establish our intimate life. Because of my age and my wife's strong desire that I should avoid any invasive solutions including Viagra type drugs the option of VEDs was the only choice. It has been quite a journey. With a VED you have the options of either you pump up before foreplay or after. Neither options are romantic, particular if you pump yourself before foreplay; penetrative or any other form of intimacy has a limited time limit of 30 minutes and also the hinge effect seriously inhibits physical movements. So for us it is foreplay first. A suitable vibrator is a good companion for us because when I interrupt to pump myself up my wife keeps herself in a sem-excited state by using the vibrator or quite often she reads!  Initially the process of pumping up seems very difficult but with practice and everything at hand in the bathroom I can achieve an erection in about three minutes.  Boasting? Yes/No! -I have introduced a few short cuts which ignores a lot of the instructions which are normally given by the manufacturers and ED nurses! If you wish to know how please private message me and will offer you a link. Happy New Year to all you generous and brave guys and your wives and partners.

Presumably she doesn't read and vibrate at the same time. I imagine that would cause considerable 'optical wobble', and make the print seem blurry. πŸ™‚

Joking apart, initially I found it difficult introducing Invicorp into lovemaking.  I've found it's best to prepare a syringe full prior to foreplay and leave it loaded on the bedside table ready for action.

I've also stopped storing it in the fridge next to the Lurpak. It was making the butter too hard to spread.

That’s funny, Adrian! Your comment about my wife’s use of a vibrator while reading in bed reminds me of the time, some years ago, when we introduced vibrators in our bedroom. Initially we tried commonly available ones. The battery operated ones were not powerful enough. I purchased a wand-type vibrator which within seconds of my wife using it decided that it was suitable only for elephants! But then we came across the Eroscillator. The main difference between this and other vibrators is that, as its name implies, its head vibrates in the horizontal plane, side to side, compared with the usual ones which vibrate vertically, up and down motion. The side-to-side vibrations simulates the movement of a finger on any sensitive spot like the clitoris or the frenulum on a penis; better than the ‘thumping’ action which does not feel natural. We have been using this one for many years and it has become a very useful addition in our sex repertoire; following prostatectomy it has been particular useful. This oscillator is the only one sponsored and recommended by the famous American sexologist Dr Ruth who says “The Eroscillator really can make your sex life better”. It is not cheap; you can purchase it from Amazon but see the various options at eroscillator.com. It is mains operated, comes with 6 different heads and a long cord, suitable for hotel bedrooms! It is not cheap but Amazon has deals with fewer heads.

It sounds a beast.

Vibrators worry me. If someone ever invents one that can put up shelves and cut the grass. It will make all men redundant.

Hi all...so iv been following this thread and have also had some ups and downs with invicorp and caverjet. Although they both work perfect when I inject on the right hand side iv had no success when injecting on the left side. I think there are more veins on the left side and I'm probably going into them instead...I also worry when injecting the invicorp as I always get an erection which lasts going upto but not over 4 hours. Caverject injections go down after an hour. Does anybody else have these same problems?

Hello mate, welcome to the forum.

Plenty of 'ups and downs' is what you want from these injections. πŸ˜„

Joking apart. Contrary to their advice I usually inject in the righthand side and hardly ever in the left. I have much more control in the right, and never had success in the left. Its probably due to me being able to inject more accurately in the righthand side. As stated when I hit the sweet spot my erections last 2/3 hours.

Cheers m8....

I'm the same never any problems when I inject on the right hand side...my only concern is the ed nurse said you have to rotate injection sites are you could cause a bend in the penis...I'm still quite new to it so it's still a learning curve. Have you done it that way for a long time with no problems I.e causing a bend ect?

No kinks here (well at least not in my willy πŸ˜„)

5 injections a month for 7 months. 4 or 5 flops but the rest have been straight as a die.

I should persist with trying the left hand side, I just don't like the chance of failure and wasting a valuable jab. 

There are a pair of corpora cavernosa which fill with blood when you get an erection, and you should inject into one of them. Presumably massaging the penis after injecting opens both to blood flow?

Really should persist with your non-dominant hand and alternate left & right sides - the injections can cause scar tissue to build up which can lead to Peyronie's disease (curved penis), which is permanent damage.

Just wondering if you could practice left handed technique using your left hand with a pen?

Or practice jabbing fruit like an orange or banana left handed? 

Another way could be to do it completely cack handed, using your right hand to inject the left side of your penis. 

Good luck. 

Kev.

Morning Kev,

I'm sure I could jab a banana, resting on  table, with a steady left hand.  Not so sure, as in my case, of injecting a cocktail gherkin, resting on my testicles, lefthanded,  whilst shaking like a sh*tting dog.😁

I've thought of doing it cack handed, but it nearly puts my back out.

I have just vaccinated my flock of sheep, you use a short thick needle (as opposed to a short thin one) but as I was going through the flock I mused how similar it was to injecting my Willie back in the day.

The essential part (sheep or willies) is having no resistance to the plunger, if there is any resistance STOP, start and again.

Now that is where the similarity ends, clearly a sheep that has just been "miss stuck" it will be wriggling about trying to avoid the b****** in waterproofs trying to use it as a pin cushion. A sheep also has a thick fleece, something that should not be a problem for PC survivors (HT, vacuum pumps etc tend to mean very little willy fluff!) but willies and sheep do have another thing in common - practice makes perfect.

So next vaccination season I will be offering vaccination practice sessions for those budding Willie stickers out there!

Did you have to straddle the sheep to inject them?  It does sound like a story a defensive barrister would use.

Hi. 

38 m UK. 

I have bought invicorp due to inconsistent results from pills.

 

Last August I was diagnosed with prostititis and pelvic floor dysfunction which often causes ED. 

I can still  get a good erection without  pills  and often a good one with, but it's not consistent and when. The muscles are very tight I struggle especially with the  stress that comes with the pain making the penis virtually  numb on occasion. 

I am hoping invicorp  will bypass  some of that and allow me  one reliable erection  a week for my girlfriend. 

 

I have a few questions though. 

 

Can you reduce the dose a bit by squirting some out just so I can work out what dose I need? 

Obviously  I need to be careful as I can get good erections so I don't want to put myself at too much risk of priaipism, especially as I take amitriptyline so can't take sudafed. 

 Does it make sense to get a semi erection first to inject it and is it injectted in the same way as caverject which i was shown how to use in November?

Caverject gave me  nothing but pain hence why I never used it again. 2.5 mcg was probably too low and possibly incorrect administration. 

Has anyone had any side effects from it? 

 

Thanks.
