India vs USA treatment
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2022 4:13 am
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post on FT. I have been reading a lot of posts in the last few months and would like to start by sharing my story and my experience of having suffered with ED for years.
I am 40 yrs old and have been suffering with having no penetration ability for a long long time. I do get morning erections and am able to masturbate well but it just wouldn't hold up during the act. It happened a few times post which I became so conscious and anxious that I started avoiding having an intercourse. It badly affected my marriage to the point that my wife has finally left me.
I did undergo various forms of treatment starting with a local sexologist visit who honestly turned out to be a quack and dented my confidence so much that I refrained from even seeing a doctor for long time. Following that I did visit a Urologist who diagnosed me with psychogenic Ed and prescribed me pills and also suggested Master and Johnson technique. I did eat the pills and saw some improvement but could still not penetrate.
I finally changed my doctor and went to see a new Urologist in India (who is quite popular in Gurgaon-India and is frequently mentioned in forums about India) This Dr. changed my medicines. But still I saw no improvement after which he suggested trimix injection. I took the first dose of trimix in his office but could not get a good erection. He suggested we take a higher dose later which we did but still the erection was not good. At this point he asked me to under a penile doppler test which suggested venous leakage. I also took one round of PRP injections which was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Though the radiology report suggested venous leakage my doctor said that it is a case of weak spongy tissues and suggested I should start considering an implant.
Meanwhile my wife and I shifted base to the USA-California and I thought I will continue my treatment in the USA as the ED subject is still a huge taboo in India and the care options are limited. However, once we moved to the USA and had got little settled, my wife decided to ask me to leave and I was devastated and left all alone. This is when I finally decided to open up and tell my brother and sister who live in the USA. They asked me to come to their place in New Jersey.
That is when I started researching more on doctors and found the name of Dr. Eid. I took and appointment with him and met him on Sep 26, 2022. Honestly my 1 hour spent with him that day during which he also did my penile doppler (he said he has time and can do it immediately) and also made me meet a patient who has come up for his 1 month checkup. The person was nice and allowed me to see the implant in action. This visit greatly increased my confidence and Dr. Eid confirmed to me that I am a candidate for a penile prosthesis and recommended a Coloplast Titan as he said I have an average size penis but one with more girth.
I must say that there is a huge difference in the quality of treatment one can get in India vs the USA. I would actually go ahead and say that it is foolish to even compare.
I am yet to plan a date of surgery as my medical clearance was not given to me as the clearance doctor went into details about why I have ED and made me go through several more tests and visit at least 3 more doctors. I finally have taken appointment for clearance with Dr. Nicholas Dubois at Mt. Sinai and he was recommended by Dr. Eid.
I am hopeful to get my surgery done in December or January. I am happy to interact with anyone who may have any questions for me and will keep sharing with this wonderful community my own experience. I wish everyone here the best of luck!
