My symptoms: I’m completely impotent but before I reached the severity my ED is now I was completely incapable of getting an erection while standing and required constant stimulation to maintain any erection I could get which generally weren’t even hard enough for sex to begin with
I’m 17 suffering with on and off ED since I was 14 that has rapidly worsened in the last few months to the point a penetration worthy erection is no longer possible. It wasn’t until April that the dramatic decline in my erectile function to almost absolute zero galvanized me to seek out a urologist who as you might expect did nothing more than order some hormone tests and then declare it psychological. I requested the daily cialis regimen which the fucker wouldn’t prescribe due to my age (as if that is important) and gave me low dose sildenafil (20mg). He only gave me 15 pills but when I got them I first tried it in a 20 dose and that did nothing but give me a runny nose, mild headache, and even made me dizzy so my next course of action was to take 5 of them bitches like an idiot to see if I was capable of an erection with sildenafil at all which also failed and gave me the worst headache of my entire 17 year life. To my absolute horror, at first my parents believed this dipshit and refused to take me to see anyone else which is extra frustrating because my father is a physician and chose this particular urologist because he went to residency with him. As a result my dad and I had a lot of animosity throughout April until the end of June until my dad began to realize that my symptoms were in fact highly indicative of a physical origin and that he was in denial. He took me to a younger more reasonable urologist who acknowledged my ED was physical and gave me daily cialis which after almost 3 weeks of taking is still absolutely useless although the first few days taking it did allow me to maintain about a 60% erection if I stayed perfectly still which gave me hope I could at least prevent hypoxia but as of now it’s not even good enough for that. I also took 4 of these pills to try the maximum dose and once again nothing. I speak with my urologist again next week and my plan is to try vardenafil in order to try all the pde5i’s as stendra is not available in Canada and even if it were that shits too expensive anyway. I made sure to establish my preference for the implant when I first met with my urologist and he said that while it would be extremely difficult to find a willing surgeon he did believe that beyond pills it would be my best option. Also if you suggest trying injections, vacuum pumps, or even those crappy suppositories that are more invasive yet somehow less effective than oral medication FUCK ALL OF THEM I’m 17 and want a normal spontaneous sex life without the need to subject myself to any of that extraneous bullshit and don’t need to remind myself I have ED every time I want to masturbate or have sex by sticking stuff in or up my dick just to have sex. Fuck that. So that’s kind of where I’m at, unresponsive to medication and unexplained severe physical ED despite being in perfect health otherwise. I am committed to pursuing an implant. Seeing other young men on here and even the older guys who endure years of ED trying shitty “treatment” options out of apprehension for an implant only to realize the prevailing theme in implant patients which is that they wish they had done it sooner have made me realize that the implant should not be feared but instead encouraged regardless of my age. I’ve spent the last 4 years exercising, dieting, and trying meditation and all kinds of herbal remedies and while it’s gotten me in great shape it’s done nothing for my ED which continues to decline so I’m ready to finally take the leap of faith to put an end to my ED once and for all. I think about my ED all the time and its starting to encroach on my daily life despite how strong I’ve felt I’ve been during this whole situation and since I have so much life left to live the sooner I can get an implant the better.
like i said I know the implant is the solution for me and I’m interested in doing it with Dr. Eid since he’s stated the youngest patient he’s ever implanted was 17 and I feel like he has a super comprehensive understanding of how ED effects a man’s mind. I just have a few questions
1. Dr Eid is the only implant specialist I’ve seen admit to implanting anyone younger than 18. However, I don’t know if it would be wiser to wait until I turn 18 in 3 months to contact Eid or do it next week after the vardenafil fails. I’m kind of in a hurry because I feel like my obsession with ED is consuming my teenage years and ostracizing me from romantic and sexual relationships and I can’t continue living like that.
2. If Dr Eid won’t see me can anyone recommend me surgeons with experience implanting very young patients like me
3.Can you still have good sex if your glans doesn’t engorge (mine still gets larger and firm(er) but it is still kind of squishy and not completely hard)
4. While my dad said he would pay for the surgery out of pocket since we have enough money to do so does Dr Eid or any other implant surgeon offer financing plans like paying 15000 dollars upfront and then like 5000 for the next few months thereafter .
5. When I go for the Doppler with Eid how bad does the injection hurt and can I request or use a numbing gel to make the injection painless. (This seems super scary to me)
6. how flexible is Eid’s scheduling. I will have off from university between February 15-23. Would it be able to ask Eid months in advance to reserve a surgery and in person appointment for a date falling in that time period
7. If i can’t go back to dr Eid 2 weeks later can I have him write a letter for a local urgent care to remove my sutures.
8. Is anybody here on franktalk 25 or younger and implanted by Jonathan clavell (he’s my second preference)
I’ve spent the last almost 4 years fighting against ED and my cowardice and desire for false hope with all kinds of supplements and herbal remedies have made my cock limp ever since. This time I want to see Dr Eid and finish the job with the implant and not make the same mistakes many other men make waiting years for an implant. I have the courage to do all that is necessary to rid myself of ED and I won’t let any misguided urologists who want to tell me my ED is psychological stop me. If they want to pretend that I don’t have a physical issue there’s only one thing to do and that’s to walk up to them look them in the eye and tell them to fuck off. My time for an implant has come and I plan to make it happen.
Kudos to you for being so determined. I was going to suggest a doppler with injection so you get a definitive diagnosis before you decide for the implant, but I see you will do that with Eid. Provided the doppler comes back suggesting a leak or at least it shows you can't get a satisfactory erection with injections, I think he will be fine with operating on you. I saw him when I was 23 and he was willing to operate on me.
I would suggest speaking to Eid sooner rather than later. I know he is retiring soon. I am likely getting my implant this year, but because of his age I am not sure of whether to do it with him or Clavell. He is extremely good but clearly past his prime and you will definitely need to find a new urologist for your revision if your implant has a regular lifespan. With someone like Clavell, who's young, he could be your doc for the first implant and a couple of revisions.
Another consideration with Eid is that he also pretty much only does the Titan implant. The big thing putting me off the Titan is the annoying dog ears when flaccid. I also would love to try out AMS' new Tenacio pump, as it should be nicer to use and also more reliable and long-lasting, which is particularly important for young guys like us.
The pain from the injections for the doppler is not a non-issue, but Eid can use a numbing cream if you ask him to.
Best of luck. Please keep us posted, I'll be following your story.
