All is left is shots and wondering because I'm on blood thinner would I have bleeding because the penis has many veins. Thanks.


I've been using tri-mix for over 12 yrs., would be rock hard, and last for 2 hrs., and up until the last year, has worked great. I too am on blood thinners and as long as you try to miss the veins and apply pressure at the injection site right after you inject for 3 -5 min., you should have no problems.The pressure is really the key. Talk to your Dr. and give it a try. I am awaiting an implant now.

Thanks everyone for the information. I wonder if my health insurance will cover the cost of the injections? My insurance is untied health care.

I don't know if your insurance will cover it but probably not as it's a compounded drug, but you never know. It's cheap enough for me that I don't even bother to find out. They don't cover the pills very well and they don't cover Edex at all. but I have a version of Blue Cross not United. For most guys the compounded injections are pretty cheap. The doctor is the expensive part and you should get the doctor covered. I got my GP to prescribe it but I knew what I wanted and needed and just told the Doc.

Hi there,

I understand your situation, as I’ve also been dealing with erectile issues due to diabetes. After consulting with my urologist, I started taking Cialis daily, and it has been effective for me. Although I know it's only a temporary solution, it definitely helps with improving things. I also feel the importance of maintaining a healthy mindset regarding sex drive, just like you mentioned.

As for improving blood flow, while I can’t give medical advice, I’d suggest discussing options with your doctor, as they can give the best recommendations considering your condition. It's worth mentioning that medications like Cialis work by increasing blood flow, and there may be other treatment options for better circulation. Lifestyle changes such as managing your diabetes, staying active, and maintaining a healthy diet can also have a positive impact on blood flow.

Stay positive and keep in touch with your healthcare team to find the best path forward! I hope everything is much better now!

Sorry, UHC does not cover Trimix. They will cover an implant though if the doctor gives the right diagnoses code.
