Avatar m tn Had radiation for prostate cancer which worked. PSA virtually undetectable. Does Flomax interfere with Viagra?
Avatar m tn The typical symptoms of prostatitis are fever, pelvic, testicle, or rectal pain, frequent and painful urination and ejaculation and incomplete emptying of bladder. You should get your PSA levels and cystoscopy for further evaluation. Discuss this with your doctor for proper management. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar m tn I had Prostate Cancer 12 years ago, resolved with Radioactive Seeding. 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 n tn Also, a radical prostatectomy seems like an extreme measure for prostatitis! I had a radical prostatectomy in Jul 2018 for prostate cancer, and the effects of that are not to be trifled with - 15+ months later, I’m still struggling to regain sexual function & many things are different, including urination. Believe me, you don’t want this unless it’s to save your life, as in if you’re diagnosed w/ cancer.
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 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 m tn I realize the Viagra post was not a specific question, so to make it a specific question I would ask, in your professional opinion does viagra type meds help in other areas of rehab?
Avatar n tn Since surgery of the prostate does do some nerve damage Caverject maybe needed as Viagra and Cialis only assist in obtaining an erection. Caverject will cause an erection even without stimulation. I hope that this is help ful for you. All the best.
Avatar f tn Oh,yeah!!! It tripled in size and almost full erection and I lie down and foreplay is good and erection is gone. Tried using rings for holding the blood, actually worse. I thought I would ask dr about prescription for Viagra or Cialis to use in conjunction with Trimix. I don’t know if stronger than the triple strength Trimix would help. Just frustration. Hard enough to work wife into making nonentity then it is like a melting popsicles. Once it goes down it never gets close to initial fullness.
Avatar n tn Hi, OA_T - Please understand that you are not alone - this is extremely common with almost all guys who undergo prostate cancer surgery. I’m a prostate cancer survivor, had RALP Jul 31, 2018, so I’m a little over 2 yrs past surgery. I’ve been struggling to get sexual function back ever since, some improvement but not what I had before.
Avatar f tn I used it in conjunction with my viagra and when i ran out of my viagra supply. It is L-Arginine. Another supplement is L-Carnitine. Don't take them together. L-Carnitine should be taken on a emply stomach. There are many different forms--and they each have a slightly different function. What i took of the L-Carnitine is GPLC by Jarrow pharmaceuticals. I know Australia has several good supplier of supplements. L-Arginine works differently than viagra.
Avatar n tn My question is, What would be your recommendation or suggestion if I was to start taking L-Arginine w/ Ornithine after my prostate cancer surgery? I am weight lifting and need the extra boost to build muscle mass and also to use in place of Viagra. The reason I ask is because one of the warnings is to prohibit the use of such supplement if a person has cancer. I would be very appreciative of your response.
Avatar m tn I am 73 yrs old and and had hormone treatment and brachytheraphy for prostate cancer approx. 11 yrs ago. I read that the January issue of the Journal of Urology states that men who have had both both can experience significant penis reduction, which has recently happened to me .Is there anything that can be done to stop or reverse this trend?
Avatar f tn After having sex with a girl, 3 days later I felt this pain in tip of penis, went to the doctors took the two pills to cure chaymida and gonorrhoea, and also had bloods, and urine samples taken before taking antibiotics This was 4 months ago.
Avatar m tn Men had always been active on sex life and when it decline it gives lots of pain.Generic Viagra are more liable and most trusted medication ever produced in Viagra history. These medications usually come in 100mg and works too good on ED problem.
Avatar f tn I am just trying to find out if occasional use of viagra would be safe or a risk to take.
Avatar n tn There’s some evidence that TriMix or similar injections to produce erections may help restore erectile function for men who’ve had prostate surgery. Even w/ modern nerve-sparing techniques, the nerves that are responsible for erections are traumatized during the procedure because they need to be very delicately ‘peeled’ away from the prostate before it’s removed, and it can take several months or even up to 2 yrs or longer for the nerves to ‘wake up’ again.
Avatar m tn HI, It would be best not to use two pharmacological agents antagonistically, even if the effects are side effects. This means that since it is obvious that the finasteride is responsible for the erectile dysfunction, the viagra should not be used to counter it. It would be better to switch to another drug for your problem. Regular ejaculation, about 3-4 times a week, has been considered ideal for keeping the prostate healthy.
Avatar m tn Just to say again, there is no such disease as prostatitis. All that means is you have an inflamed prostate but doesn't tell you why you have one, and certainly having one doesn't cause gas. It pushes on the bladder, not the digestive system. You also don't get an inflamed prostate by sitting around, you don't sit on your prostate. Most people who have one are older men like me because it's a side effect of living a long life with a lot of testosterone.
Avatar m tn Would taking both Flowmax and Cialas or Viagra be causing the retrograde. I didnt like it and after the sex I did not feel satisfied. I have read that Flowmax could cause RE. Would stopping Flowmax correct the RE or is it that once damaged it stays damaged? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, flowmax stop the RE? any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn i think that's is the cause of lack of sex by the removal of his prostate, my father was removed also of his prostate as of last year that's why he always tells me the lack of sexual appetite, making him half the man he is before

And one-third of those mentions damage small blood vessels and nerves buy generic viagra cheap throughout the men aged number of men.

Avatar f tn . I’m middle-aged man, I’m 39. Sometimes I had some problems when I had sex with new women. I worried, so, went to my GP. He told me that it’s most probably psychological problems, and that I should try to relax and shouldn’t concentrate, while having sex, on my thoughts. I found Viagra pills (I've bought them online from www.pharmacy.viagranow.eu ) and decided to take one. I have forgotten about my sexual problems, and didn’t have any side effects. So, Viagra helps.
Avatar n tn I tried Viagra when it first became available, but it just caused a burning in my prostate area and a short-lived partial stiffening. My wife was in menopause and having hot flashes at the time so at her suggestion I didn’t try to pursue the ED problem. I’m now 67 years old and I haven’t had sex for years. I get an occasional stiffening of the penis during sleep sometimes, but not hard enough for penetration. I would like to recover from ED.
Avatar n tn Generally the only reason to be on Viagra is if you are on the older side in years and have had some of these problems and they can't be fixed. But older folks usually are more concerned with sex with a partner, so I'm just wondering, do you have sex with others, how old are you, and how did you get a prescription for Viagra if you're a young guy who mostly masturbates at this point in your life. The main cause of ED are mental issues.
