Avatar m tn Does your doc think the symptoms post prostate surgery may resolve? Cialis relaxes the smooth muscles and arteries inside the penis. At the same time, it also increases blood flow to the penis. When aroused, this combination of relaxation and increased blood flow allows the penis to fill with blood, which results in an erection. It can be taken about 1 to 2 hours prior to full effect being necessary or at a low dose, can be taken every day.
Avatar n tn From what I have read on the internet and in the book "The invasion of the prostate snatchers..." it can be from 6 months to a year in some cases...everyone is different.
Avatar n tn Hi, I had prostate surgery in the form of a TURP and resection of the bladderneck in 1995 at the age of 30. In 1999 I first started having problems with ED. My urologist at the time prescribed Viagra which did not realy work. I did not really have any success with Cialis either. In 2003 I was seen by a urologist who specialized in ED as a part of a health clinic examination for a neurological problem that I was being seen for.
Avatar m tn As to the timing... I had prostate surgery, and the conventional wisdom that the healing to the perineal area, and the nerve damage can take TWO YEARS to recover. I'm still suffering with the ED 5 months later, and slowly seeing signs of life coming back to little willy.
Avatar n tn Successful surgery Jan 2020. Happy to be alive and happy to have a job in this economy. But the sex life pretty much sucks. I was warned it would be challenging. I was counting on things working a bit less well, but holy cow wasn't prepared for this much of a drop-off. Tips and tricks from any guys that have been down this path before?
Avatar n tn I then decided to go to a Urologist and he check my prostate and told that my problems can be due to a prostate inflamation or infection of the prostate. So, he decide to treat the problem as an prostate infection with a drug call Levaquin. After the treatment was over I was able to get an erection for a week and ejaculate without pain. Then all of a sudden I could not get erections.
16087137 tn?1445209323 I started taking Viagra with a prescription after my prostate cancer surgery about two years ago. It really worked well but wasn't covered under my new insurance at all after I retired and I think a months supply from Walgreens or CVS (my local pharmacies) cost around $3-$400 per month. I'm not making alot of money right now, and when I mentioned that to my Dr. he unofficially assured me about generic versions made in Canada, that can legally ship to the US.
Avatar m tn If you take Cialis every other day it will greatly improve the quality of your erections and relax your prostate gland as well. If after this you still can't have intercourse then you might consider Testosterone Therapy although it may not come to this.
Avatar n tn I was a very healthy sexual male until about a month ago, and began experiencing impotence and now just can't stay hard for long. My stool has changed more reddish, and not as solid, i got an std test, and some more blood work done, nothing was found yet. I'm tripping because i just met a new girl and she wants to have sex and i'm unable to, cialis didn't really work, i still lost my erection. What is going on with me.
Avatar n tn As part of the surgery the lymph nodes in the prostate are removed as well as the entire prostate. Does anyone know of a male who has had this surgery and it alleviated this neck pain?
Avatar f tn I have not received the order yet but apparently guys on another prostate site have tried it and say it is as good with fewer side effects. The site is called All Day Chemists. I am in Canada and it would cost $115 for 8 tablets here. I am getting 120 tablets for under $100 including shipping.
Avatar f tn My background is that I physically had my prostate removed in 2013. Before that I could get and maintain an erection numerous times as day. I took one pill this morning around 10:30 am. Around 1:00 pm I began feeling light-headed. Don’t know if it is related to the Cialis.
Avatar m tn This may be chronic prostatitis and if that is so there is no effective treatment. Just wonder if s smooth muscle relaxant like Cialis might help?
Avatar m tn Since that time I have made use of Viagra and Cialis to overcome the ED side affects from the seeding. The effectiveness of these drugs seems to be fading, is this a common situation or more likely just age, weight, etc causing lessening effectiveness?
Avatar m tn I'm having the same problems on Flomax with the retro. I'm also scared about the loss of strength stated on some forums. it says that Flomax relaxes the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck so it seems like it could improve blood flow to the prostate and help treat a prostate infection like I've had with shooting pains for months now.
Avatar n tn m currently off the Tri-mix due to a fistula in my prostate and rectum. I will need surgery to have this repaired and currently have a suprapubic catheter. The last time that my wife and I had sex, is about 2 years ago. Talk to your doctor, urologist about the California Tri-Mix, it might work well for you.
Avatar m tn At first I contacted a doctor who gave me Cialis and it did not work (20mg). Then I tried Viagra 50mg and that sorta worked but still not 100% of the time. In fact out of 3 times worked one when I took two pills to get to 100mg. Even then while I feel I stayed hard she felt I got soft. So I went to the doctor and he ran all the test top to bottom.
Avatar m tn Meds are for a stent in my heart and enlarged prostate. I can get an erection before and after intimacy but the minute we start, what's between my ears kicks in. How do I change that ?
Avatar n tn Because semen is manufactured in the prostate gland any interference with it, like biopsy, is going to produce blood in the ejaculate. This is natural and normal and does not require and particular actions on your behalf. There are many reasons why you might experience occasional erectile dysfunction and BP medications would not be high on my list of potential candidates. You might consider taking Cialis 10 mg every other day. This would improve your ED and urine stream at the same time.
Avatar m tn If it does not respond to drug, you may try some massage like exercise called male deer exercise, kegel exercise, or internal prostate massage, abdominal prostate massage, peripheral anal prostate massage and inner thigh massgae and perineum massage. you can get detail from google. You may pick up any exercise you like.You may keep in mind the contraindication suggested for each exercise.
Avatar m tn I than saw him again and informed him that the testosterone shots did not help my ED at all. Another urologist in 1999 had tried me on Viagra and after that Cialis. Non of them worked. While in the office this new urologist suggested trying Caverject. I was told to take my pants and underwear off and to lie down on the examining table. He then injected my penis with California Tri-Mix and told me that he would see me in 15 minutes.
Avatar m tn During the procedure the shyncter inside the prostate is damaged and the semen will find the route of least resistence and deposite the semen into the bladder. To my wife and my surprise my wife became pregnant with our 3rd child about 5 months after the surgery. For what seemed to be a very long time, it seemed that I had dry ejeculations. About 4 years after this, my wife and I noticed that I once again have near normal ejeculations.
428185 tn?1203741789 See, despite the surgery going as well as it did and my still having a prostate, the whole experience was kind of shattering - I mean, it strikes at the very heart of maleness, it's hard even to talk about, I told my wife not to tell anybody because at first I was too embarrassed and private and didn't want people to know I had anything wrong in that area of my body because what would they think?
Avatar f tn s not me and I believe him because Ive done everything I could to help and every time we r in the middle of sex and he's close to ejaculation he starts going limp and can't get off I've told him about vitamin E because I had an ex with the same problem but i don't know what to do or suggest to help him
Avatar m tn I do have a tight foreskin but this has never been an issue. I have used Viagra and Cialis and these do help but would prefer not to use them. The strange thing is that in the morning I get a very solid and hard erection (probably greater now than in my youth) which lasts for some time, someone said was due to morning testosterone levels. Could I be deficient in testosterone levels at other times of the day?
Avatar n tn Usually older guys that take Cialis and Viagra and it works in the beggining and then stops later on down the road is when E2 levels go out of range. You should get tested for this ideal range should be between 20-32 pg/dl I think. You should talk to your doctor about taking either DIM or Armidex. You can buy DIM at your local health food store but you should talk to your doctor first and see what he thinks. Good Luck!
Avatar m tn This was originally created for prostate surgery patients and many doctors are not familiar with it. Find the right doctor and get some! You will be totally amazed.
Avatar f tn In cancer surgery almost 2 years ago to remove bladder and prostrate; a nerve(s) May have been damaged or removed in error when surgeons were checking lymph nodes adjacent to bladder for cancer. My libido is intact and I can get and maintain an erection with a pump or injection.....BUT not hard enough for sexual penetration with abs fir my wife.
