I am 35 years old, married, have a career I love and a life that I love. However, ED has been an ongoing issue for me for the last 11 years.
Let me back up some and start with my past, because I do believe that my past experience with drugs has been a huge contributing factor as to why I have severe ED today.
From the age of 11 until age 24 I used alcohol and drugs almost daily. I ended up with a cocaine and crack cocaine addiction that lasted for 5 years and I believe the constant use of stimulants in the high amounts that I was taking messed up my vascular system in some way.
After getting sober, I started using anabolic steroids and of course, I abused those as well. Now here I am today at 35 years old, sober from drugs and alcohol for over 4 years, and only on replacement Testosterone therapy through a doctor.
Today… I am unable to get hard almost at all. If I take 100mg if Viagra I have about a 50/50 chance of getting an erection hard enough to have penetrative sex with. And then even if that happens, I lose the erection as soon as it goes in.
ED meds constantly make me feel like shit, headaches, flushing, always stopped up and can’t breathe and they simply just aren’t working anymore.
I have been doing reading on implants and I have an appointment scheduled in a couple of weeks. I do know he may want to try other routes such as tri mix injections or penis pumps, but I am simply unwilling to rely on either of those for a sex life. I’ve been at this long enough and it’s something I can’t handle anymore. I need a permanent fix!!!!!
I do have insurance through my job (Aetna/Meritain) but I doubt they will cover it due to my last drug and steroid abuse. So, I am prepared to pay out of pocket.
The urologist I am meeting with is Matthew Pollard in Nashville, TN
Anyway, that’s really it for now. I just wanted to make a post to maybe open up some dialogue or for other people out there in my situation.
Thanks for reading.
I would not even meet with that urologist. I would go see hakky or Clavell if I were you. They are part of an actual class of urologists that understand sexual medicine
