Sling (or other treatment/prodedure) for climaturia following RP

Just a couple of other points......

I have used Trimix numerous times and it worked very effectively. The idea of sticking a needle in my dick was a little daunting, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Downside-it takes several hours for it to wear off so after sex it's a little uncomfortable for a while.

Prior to my RP in 10/21 I used Viagra almost every time before sex for years. I don't know if I absolutely needed it but, better living through chemistry! After my RP my little friend was dead-as a doornail. No erections. My MO told me that the RT to my pelvis would further damage my ability to have an erection. As I mentioned earlier, I began TRT around 2-3 months ago. (I take maintenance generic Cialis 5mg per day since my RP 3 years ago). Around a month after starting the TRT I started having nighttime/morning erections just like the good old days! Didn't think that was going to happen again! Because of issues I am having with my wife currently, I don't know if those morning erections will translate into sex, but I will find out sooner or later. I have read that T is necessary (or very helpful) for the equipment to work. I understand that some men have ED for some months after RP but with time regain function. I began ADT/Lupron one year after my RP so that was a double whammy.

Good luck to you and maybe with time things will start working again.

Thanks for the encouraging words, Doc. My surgeon wrote me an RX for Cialis but his team never told me why - or how important it was - for maintaining blood supply to the penis. I assumed it was for sex and after surgery that was the furthest thing from my
mind.
It was about a year post-op that I discovered how important this was; so I think there’s some irreversible damage down there; the few erections I did manage with 100 mgs Viagra gave me one of those dachshund dogs they make out of an inflated balloon and twist in the middle - swollen at one end and pinched at the other. The base was completely shriveled and the rest of it engorged.
Had to whip out the old anatomy book to see Afferent and Efferent blood vessels but still couldn’t figure out how the distant part of the organ got blood, but the base it had to pass thru did not. Maybe Trimix will help that.
Sorry for your conjugal issues, but as an elderly friend who was taking T and HGH once told me: “Wow! I get huge wood in the mornings now!”
“Is your wife happy?” I asked. He gave me a disapproving look and said “Who cares if she’s happy…I’M HAPPY!!”
Enough said😂
