Hi, I'm 8 months post op, 54 yrs old, I've tried Viagra and tadalafil but they both give me real bad heartburn, so the hospital have now given me Caveject injection to trial, I've only tried it once in the last few weeks as I had only been given one sample and had to wait for the prescription to go through. It has not worked yet but I was told to try for a least 8 times before moving on with something else. I have one side of my nerves spared but have not had any luck as yet, is it still really early days and the nerves are still repairing ? I'm using the pump every other day for 6 mins for rehab. Perhaps I just need to be a little more patient as I also had issues with leakage for the first 8 weeks after the op and I wasn't very patient then but the leaking is very minimal now with just one pad per day. Thanks Rob

Hi again, mate.


Invicorp isn't used for penile rehabilitation as such. It's used to get a erection. Every month, I get prescribed  a packet which contains 5 ampoules. They say leave two days between each injection. I don't suppose 5 erections a month is enough to rehabilitate your penis. I believe, very regular use of a pump plus your ED tablets, is the best way to aid penile rehabilitation.


Having said that, if you were lucky enough to be prescribed enough Invicorp to have an injection every other day, it might aid rehabilitation. I believe it's quite expensive and costs the NHS £120 a pack. So I suspect there is a limit to how much a particular individual can be prescribed?


I've never bothered using a pump, but I'm a great fan of Invicorp. It allows me to have an erection enabling penetrative sex, which is what it's primarily designed for. 


Although slightly shorter than it was pre op my penis is still healthy, and despite not using a pump, I have no fears of it withering away. 🙂


I've found that an Invicorp injection gives me a erection firm enough for sex for at least two hours. On top of this my penis is semi erect for about another two hours. So I'm lucky enough to have 5 × 4 hour 'Big boy' days a month. Which I don't think is too bad for someone approaching 70 years old. 😁

Hi Rob,


I had a non nerving sparing prostatectomy almost 16 months ago.  About six months post op I tried Caverject, it didn't work. I was then prescribed  Invicorp, which did. The erections are about 80% as good as pre op.


What I've found is if you've had to join the Prick a d*ck Club. The injection technique is vital. I'll attach a conversation that goes into this in greater detail.


Don't give up mate, injections do work.

I have Caverject and started with 2.5mcg injections that didn't work but now used 5mcg and as long as I am in the mood and stimulated (maybe a bit of video) then it works fine.
I have found that being in the right mood is all important. Just injecting it does not produce the results unaided.

The way caverject works it is unlikely to fail provided you are using the correct technique AND the correct dose. It's definitely worth persevering with and I credit it with sorting out my man dept so well I don't need any chemical assistance these days.

Hi Rob.


The technical term for leaking is climacturia. I'm 30 months post op and it's now very rare that it happens to me. It just a question of waiting and hoping it gets better. It also helps if you don't drink too much of anything beforehand and empty your bladder.


I'm very pleased that you've found Invicorp helpful. If you don't mind, for the sake of others contemplating trying it, how good it is compared to you pre op erections. I'd say mine were about 75% as good but last for well over an hour, which is much longer than I can.😁


I hope things continue to improve.👍

I've finally managed to be prescribed Invicorp! I have five little bottles waiting in the fridge, just one thing. I've recently had an operation on my foot and have been laid up and inactive for three months. Unfortunately, this has meant that I have put on some weight around my stomach. So now I have the problem of not actually being able to see all of my reluctant friend. So I am having to breath in and hold my stomach while I jab. I did a trial run the other night and found that tying a belt around my belly while breathing really helps.
Think it would make a good scene in a comedy farce. ( Carry on jabbing) Wish me luck.

Hi Adrian, It does work very well and like you say lasts for an hour, I would say my erection is about 75% to 80% with it. Just need to sort the leaking out, I'm coming up to 24 months post-op now. Thank you for your kind advice :)

Hi, although I have been told that you don't need stimulation when using the injections,I find it helps. I also find I have a better second rising after the first erection. So if it works but then deflates part way through or soon after the action, then give it a rest for a few minutes and start again.


Thanks Chris

Hi all, 


Coming up to 23 months post-op, I haven't been on here for some time, currently still taking 5mg of tadalafil daily with Omeprazole for heart burn, using the pump a lot less than I should be, still have a prescription for Invocorp injections but I have not been doing them at all. I get to the evening and I dont feel alert enough to carry out the injection. 


Should I be trying to inject a few times a week to help with recovery, or is it too late now ?


 


Many thanks

I think you’re the ‘Invicorp King’ Adrian! Steve and I still waiting to visit ED clinic and prescription for injections (not sure which we will get prescribed). This process has been so slow! Had to go through the trialing of sildenafil and tadalafil first, neither worked except to give Steve bad side effects!

Put on the waiting list for clinic in May and told it was a 22 week wait!! I know it’s not life threatening now but seems a long time! When you think he had his op in January 2024 so over 18 months ago. I guess patience is a virtue….we just hope the injections work! Plus he was 75% nerve sparing so there’s still the hope that natural erections may come back.

Hi Debs and Steve.


Your delay for ED help is disgraceful!.


When you eventually get Invicorp and manage to do the bizz. Think of me. 😁

Thank you for your replies, started using invicorp again, does work really well but my only issue is I do leak during activity, I did have several alcoholic drinks though. Is there anything I can do to help prevent leakage please ? Also, I have recently started vaping due to recent events in my life and I probably should stop doing it as it won't help with anything. Many thanks.

 JDJH.


I wish you well mate. It is important to have a clear view of the target. If at first you find it difficult, like I did, keep persisting. Practice makes perfect. I never thought I'd be injecting drugs to feel 'high'. 😁


Rob, 


I hope you enjoy your success. Invicorp saved my masculinity. I  hope others  struggling with ED, at least give it a try. 👍
