Re: To soon for injections?

[Guest guest]

Richrad I had them after 6 months,

They need 3 hands

To soon for injections?

Its been eight months since my robotic RP. I am taking Cialis 10mg three times per week. Tried Viagra first but the flushing and headaches were not worth the minimal positive effect. Nocturnal erections are like before RP and having several every night. However, when I want an erection for sex its very undependable. Once I get one it doesn't last long enough for the both of us and it usually becomes a race to orgasm for me. Needless to say its becoming very frustrating for both of us. I am making progress but its dam slow and I(we) are losing patience. My question is , is it to early to consider injections and will taking injections damage something and hinder my long term recovery.

Any thoughts?

Hi All,

I had nocturnal erections soon after my RP, but when I tried

to make use of them, they quickly disappeared. I thought that

if I could have a nocturnal erection, I should be able to have

one while awake. But no amount of stimulation could cause

one. I thought that perhaps I had a psychological problem. Then

I bought a book written by Dr. Francois Eid. He said that nocturnal

erections were caused by a different mechanism than those

caused by sexual thoughts and libido. If one's nerves were not

spared, one may be able to have nocturnal erections but not

normal ones.

I have used the penile injections. I know how difficult it is to

stick a needle into that precious organ. But there is actually

very little pain, especially if a thin syringe such as a 29 or

30 gauge needle is used. It makes it much easier if one uses

an auto injector such as those designed for diabetic patients.

Go to google and search for autoinjectors for diabetics and

you will see lots of information.

Rick,

If you're getting nocturnal erections, the plumbing works. It

may be that you're just trying a little too hard and dealing with

some unaccustomed anxiety brought on by all the stuff you've been

through in the last eight months. Instead of a race, try taking

it very slowly. If things wind down, relax, stay involved, enjoy

yourself, enjoy your wife. Don't worry if the erection dies

down. You already know that everything works and the erection

will definitely return in a little while.

I think a lot of women (the women on the group can say better

than I) actually like everything slowed down anyway. If the

erection subsides for you, pay attention to her for a while.

Both of you may find that everything works better than you had

imagined.

As for the injections - I've never tried them. I've been

tempted, but not too much. Injecting myself in the penis with a

hypodermic needle just never seemed like something I really

wanted to do. I'm not desperate enough yet.

- I went through the same frustration and my best option turned out to be a vacuum pump and restriction band in combination with Viagra. It wasn't a picnic and sometimes I felt sorry for my wiener, but It was worth it. It sounds to me like your main problem right now is venous leakage which is a very common problem after surgery. The good news is that your chances are very good that this will improve over time but it can take up to 2 years. If you are like I was you will see a lot of progress between year 1 and 2. Here is a link to some interesting studies about penile rehabilitation. A lot of it boring and statistical but it is pretty interesting. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1751036Just hang in there! You'll continue to make progress. Mick White

Rick,

It been 9 months since RP for me and I've been using the injections for

about 6 weeeks. They're effective for me. My wife actually does the

injection which is a little painful. The hardest part is mentally

adjusting to the thought of a penile injection but that seems to

becoming less of an issue. My urologist said he believes injections

speed up the recovery time.
