I'm new to Frank Talk. My name is Joe. I'm 60 yrs old. Had surgery for prostate cancer in 2007. Have ED since then, told it is permemant. Considering a implant.

Have you tried pills, pumps, or shots? While implant surgery is certainly a viable option and a solution enjoyed by many on this site, most guys would urge you to try less invasive measures first. I have had great success with injections.

Whatever you decide, you have found a group of guys who have your back.

Best wishes for hard times.

Hi Joe. Welcome to FT. We had surgery about the same time and I we are the same age. There are things you can do. My Uro started talking about implant at the 1 year post op but he backed off after he found out BCBS insurance would not cover it. I am using injections and at this point I am very happy with the success.

By the way. Antelope (Greg) and I are friends and live very close to each other. We met here on FT.

Join us in the chat room for time to time.

Welcome Joe,

By joining Frank Talk, you have become a member of a brotherhood of great guys who will always be here for you and who have all walked in your shoes while battling ED.
First, I would suggest you see a Urologist who specializes in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction.
He will probably run a Doppler Test to check if there is sufficient blood flow to your penis.
The two main causes of ED are insufficient penile blood flow (arterial insufficiency) and venous leakage.
I think that the best way for me to provide you with info about ED is to share the story of my battle with ED.
I developed ED Post-Prostatectomy in February 2004 at age 65 and had never experienced any problem prior to that.
Viagra, Cialis, etc. did not work for me.
After much research and having the opportunity to speak with 2 men who had undergone the Coloplast Titan Penile Implant
Procedure, I had my Titan Implant Procedure December 13, 2007.
The Titan Penile Implant completely corrected my ED and restored the emotional intimacy with my wife of 45 years.
I became a Coloplast Patient Educator in January 2008 in order to share my Pre-Implant and Post-Implant experiences
with men still suffering from ED and its devastating side effects.
I just celebrated the Fourth Anniversary of my Titan Implant this month and my wife and I could not be happier with it.
As I said, the FT Group has a bunch of great guys who are always willing to reach out to other men suffering with ED.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to talk.
Happy Holidays.

Bob
