Having testosterone therapy after Robotic surgery
Having testosterone therapy after Robotic surgery
hey guys had my Prostate removed 5 years ago. I am now with a Urologist who is giving me weekly testosterone shots with Cialis 5.0 everyday. After 3 months I am now onto another 3 months of same therapy. My T score has gone from 250 to 800.Has anybody heard of anybody who started to regain natural erections doing this kind of therapy. The pump works for me, the shots work also. So I am imagining there is still some nerves working. Any thoughts or ideas welcomed, thank you, Bill

Re: Having testosterone therapy after Robotic surgery
Bill, I can't answer your question, but if the weekly shots are out-of-pocket, I wonder if you might be able to get a vial of Testosterone from a compounding pharmacy and inject yourself each week? Obviously, you'd need a prescription from a doctor.
I do that and the cost comes down dramatically. I pay around $60 or $70 for a vial to last 25 shots. I buy needles and syringes online which may cost possibly another $1 a week.

Thanks for the imfo,, I have pretty good insurance and the bill so far has not been very high. Looking to reach my deductible soon.

Re nerves: It matters for ED if they spared both nerve bundles, one, or had to take both.
According to what my uro told me, generally: However much you've recovered BOTH penis functions two years post-surgery, is about where you will remain.
RP in 2012 because of prostate cancer. 100% ED, also some leakage problems.
Re: Having testosterone therapy after Robotic surgery
Yes, I have heard all the stats as far as recovery. It's just that my Urologist had seen my chart and says to stay on Testostetone injections for another 3 months.
