I am hearing this from people with ED problems on here at young ages and older ages. And then I am hearing young and older guys also say they wish they would have done it sooner and that’s their only regret.
So those of you who are against or recommend not having it at a young age, why? If you’ve tried for years and years and things dont seem to work, why do you recommend not getting surgery when the success rate is so good? Is it because the weeks/months of recovery of having the implant and the small risk of infection is a worse deal then being impotent everyday at a young age? Or even older individuals for that matter? I want to know why I am hearing both sides to this. It seems like everyone who’s had it done, recommends it, and those who haven’t had it but have ED problems are the ones I am hearing say don’t get it.
As always, I love hearing the other side of those of you who recommend it as well. I want to hear both sides and why.
Thank you
I spoke to Dr Irwin Goldstein and he told me that I was too young for implant. Other guys with ED have mixed opinions, some say to hold myself for a better type of implant in the future and others say to do the implant. I am also very confused in what to decide. I have a job that is very physical and doing this type of surgey will literally incapacitate me for more than a month.
In what ways have implants improved in the last 10 years? Are they more reliable now than they were earlier? Do they offer a better flaccid/inflated look, easier to conceal? Are they easier to inflate/deflate? Is the infection rate lower?
