Considering implant after trying everything else. Experienced guys: please help.

[JohnHC]

My two cents which isn't much. I had good luck with pills but only with Cialis. Insurance moved it into a higher tier on my plan which made it impossible to afford. So I then started Trimix. Big difference. Yes you have to overcome the fear of the injection, but they are small insulin needles and I really didn't feel them as much after I quit focusing on the fact I was sticking a needle there. Now your body could acclimate to the Trimix causing you to go to a stronger dose and having to increase the amount over time, that happened to me, but isn't that bad.

But even though it needs refrigeration, it can be left without a few days. Normally you will pre draw your dosage in several syringes and keep them in the fridge or freezer. You can leave them out a few days without issue - I have left a dose out 3 days, and used it without issue. Now you can't leave it out in high heat, but room temp should be ok.

Like others have said, a implant is the nuclear option, once done it can't be undone and without a implant you will never get an erection normally again. Most Drs prefer you to have tried all available options before resorting to an implant, but that depends on the Dr, what you've tried, how you responded, and your current health.

I know the planning involved with pills and Trimix, Trimix is a little better in that it usually works fast - mine usually took no longer than 5 minutes before it was working, not like the pills which would take over 30 minutes to get in your system.

Personally for me I would try everything else that I could first before getting a implant unless my Dr recommended it due to my health issues, etc. Which is exactly what I did before I got mine.

Johns post made me think of something….. how many times a week do you get sex? I want 5-7 days a week, i was told injecting would work but the doc said only twice a week.

How many times you have sex could help in your decision…. I also did NOT want injections, the potential for scare tissue, having to plan for sex = less sex, and only 2x a week were deal breakers.

If the chances of being able to have sex, even with Viagra etc., are generally 70%, this means that, with a new, recently known partner, they will probably be even lower.
Which makes it stressful to meet and attend new potential partners.
Also, these medicines cannot be used frequently.
Generally, no more than two or three times a week, and they are often accompanied by unpleasant side effects (in my case, especially reflux).
In my opinion, injections are absolutely not to be considered, except in a peaceful married life, given the laboriousness and artificiality of the operation.
70% success is, in my opinion, exactly the watershed.
It can still be resisted like this.
But, below that percentage, the implant should be considered.

Implant on 4-18-2023.

Activation 6-2-2023

First sex 6-2-2023, it was very good, no pain

Sex has been very good and no pain. My wife just loves it.

I was never able to give my wife multiple orgasms, now it is at least two times each session. She tells me because I am now going to be constantly hard during sex she has more confidence to let it all go and enjoy herself.

I do not have a big dick, never did. But because I am now so hard I have full confidence when having sex

I know it will all get better/bigger in six months, and I am cycling every day now Some days it is not possible because of travel etc, but it has not affected the end result so far.

One thing you will learn is pumping can be hard to do at first. But it gets easier each time you cycle it.

My first thoughts of pumping would be like squeezing a Turkey baster, but it gets hard after the first few pumps. You adjust to this quickly. It just takes practice. I have the AMS CX I could have gotten the Titan if I wanted it. Because I am an older guy and may develop issues with hand strength in the upcoming years my doctor duggested the AMS CX because the bulb was bigger and slightly easier to manipulate. She would have done either one, she did not push one type over another. I had infra scotal, becasue my doctor was more comfortable that the scar from the surgery would not be noticeable.

You will hear this statement a lot "I wish I had done this sooner". You will say the same, and so do I.

I really do not care if my girth is better or my length is longer, it is that what I have is hard as a rock for as long as I want it to be. I do not think I have lost much length if at all from Ore-op status.

Thanks, now that you have your implant, are you 100% happy with it? Or would you go back to injections if you had a choice?

[Mazzio]

I use Caverject as an injection and it don't need to be stored in cold. It can be stored anywhere. To use the needle is very easy and there is no pain using it.

I also use caveject 20mcg combined with viagra 100.
what is your dose of caveject in mcg?

Discovernew - I would keep it of course and so far even with the hiccup of having a defective one implanted and getting it replaced a few months later I'm 100% happy with it. While on Trimix most you were supposed to use it was maybe 3-4 times a week, at least around 24 hours between uses. Now with the implant I can get it up anytime I want and keep it that way as long as I want, much better than even when I was a teenager and would get those random erections out and about. But my case and others are different, like others have said once done it's done, if you have some issues during or after surgery and it has to be removed, then you're done - there's no way back.

If you can live with sex 3 or 4 times a week then keep with the pills or injections, if you want it several times a day, every day of the week or if the injections are getting to the point where they don't work ( mine the strength and dosage was way too high and was more miss than hit in working ) so then I'd say get the implant. Again my case is different as is every other guy on here, it's a decision you need to make with your Dr, but do your due deligence and research it, understand what is about to be done, watch a full surgery from start to finish both penoscrotal and infrapubic ones.

After you fully understand what's going to happen and how and what recovery will most likely be like for you, then go for it. It's major surgery and should never be taken lightly, this isn't one of those things that if it goes wrong I can always do it over, you might be able to or you might not. Not trying to scare you, just make sure you fully understand what you are about to have done and have realistic expectations of the outcome.

I use mostly 20 mg Caverject but 10 mg also works but erection goes away more faster. I take 25 or 50 mg sildenafil before injection just to be more sure that injection works.
