Starting Out
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:39 pm
I saw my urologist today to get started with injections. He faxed a prescription to a compounding pharmacy and I am to bring it next week when his Physician Assistant will teach me to do the injection. So, I have nothing concrete (or even woody) to report, but for the sake of documentation I will repeat some of what I was told.
The uro said he has about 90% success with trimix. His policy in the event of a too long-lasting erection is that I am to call him and he will meet me at the emergency room. He says that he gets such a call about once every ten years. He warned against impatience, saying that we would increase the dose slowly until we found what worked. About 10% of his patients experience pain from the trimix but it can be eliminated by changing the mixture. He has had only one patient with scarring and that was a patient who, ignoring what he was told, always injected at the same spot. He said that the ideal situation was an erection lasting about half an hour.
Well, I am on my way.
