finding urologist who understands ED

[6gun 44 mag]

Hi to all, really enjoy what I'm learning from you "Frank Talkers." To avoid just going down the list in the yellow pages, maybe talking to an 18 year old girl receptionist about my problems, how can I locate a good Urologist who specializes, or at least does have good knowledge about ED? I just might not need a 30K operation to do a bit better, perhaps something a bit simple could help, but so far my own self help efforts have not helped much. I live in Kansas, not near a big city, but can travel. I am ready to go to someone, be blunt, honest, and seek help. But the one Urologist I tried 3 years ago just gave me some free Cialis, said "here, this should help" and left the room. Total joke. I await your input, thanks.

Hate to say it but I wish every one of these docs had ED then they would know what it is like to have it. Mine also is the most inconderate SOB that ever walked and yes have been to a few more the same way. Welcome to the new health care system!

Try looking for someone who lists male sexual dysfunction in his practice description. Sometimes it needs to be trial and error. It also depends on the cause of your ED.

Welcome 6gun,

By joining Frank Talk you have become a member of a brotherhood of great guys who will always be here for you and who have all walked in your shoes while battling ED.
First, I would suggest you see a Urologist who specializes in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction.
He will probably run a Doppler Test to check if there is sufficient blood flow to your penis.
The two main causes of ED are insufficient blood flow (arterial insufficiency) and venous leakage.

I think that the best way for me to provide you with some info about ED is to share the story of my battle with ED.
I developed ED Post-Prostatectomy in February 2004 at age 65 and had never experienced any problem prior to that.
Viagra, Cialis, etc. did not work for me.
After much research and having the opportunity to speak with 2 men who underwent the Coloplast Titan Penile Implant Procedure, I had my Titan Implant Procedure December 13, 2007.
The Titan Penile Implant completely corrected my ED and restored both my sex life and the emotional intimacy with my wife of 45 years.
I became a Coloplast Patient Educator in January 2008 in order to share my Pre-Implant and Post-Implant experiences with men still suffering from ED and its devastating side effects.
I just celebrated the Fourth Anniversary of my Titan Implant December 13th and my wife and I could not be happier with it.
As I said the FT Group has a bunch of great guys who are always willing to reach out to other men suffering with ED.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to talk.

Bob
