QOL for ED

[Cancer2x]

Urologists chop us up and leave us impotent and tell us to take pills then walk away.

Know what happens when Urologists take Viagra?

They get taller.

[Hidden]

Got it!!!

[Carlosbach]

Did you hear about the urologist who got rich by performing scrotal lifts.

He decided to go for the low hanging fruit.

[Hidden in reply to Carlosbach]

Why did the Scotsman visit the Urologist?

Because he had a wee problem.

[Kaliber in reply to Carlosbach]

Yayahahahaya. My urologist , Dr. Benny Boombah ,said I need a cystoscopy .

I said, what is a cystoscopy doc ?

He said : we are going to YouTube your pee tube.

My urologist name is Dr. Peck and we refer to him as the Pecker Wrecker.

guys are joking, which I guess is what we do. My Urologist told me 85% of his patients were potent at one year. Obviously wrong, unless he’s God-like. I was perplexed by the universal reaction I got from about half of my friends who had had the surgery. They all got this reaction of clearly not being sure what they should say. The other half of my friends all said everything works just fine. Don’t worry about it. After my surgery in talking to the latter group, everyone of them admitted to impotence and mild incontinence. I see now where the reaction of the first group was that they wanted to tell me how life-changing the surgery would be, but did not want the responsibility of possibly chasing me away from life-saving surgery.

What a couple of guys here stated, so eloquently is that after the surgery even if you are potent, it is not the same. If your partner is older and thus has the female post menopausal “ED” (and especially if she never had children), things can get challenging, even possibly injurious. I’d naively assumed “potent” mean “same as before “.

I’m kinda stuck in the same dilemma as my friends when newly diagnosed guys come to me. My reply now is “Join Health Unlocked and read Tall Allen”.

lol, because TA doesn't pull his punches. You asked for it, you got it. lol...

[Carlosbach in reply to WhatHump]

My urologist fiddle farted around with Flowmax and addressing symptoms for a year before scheduling a biopsy. Very likely that my cancer moved outside my prostate during that time. Once he determined that I had PC, he gave me tons of useless advice, and when my Gleason's came back he scared the hell out of me by telling me I only had 18 -24 months to live.

I reviewed this with my first Onco, and his response was, "What do you expect from a plumber?" When asked, I advise recently diagnosed guys to wait until they see a MO before deciding on any course of treatment, But I like your advice better.

Know what they call the guy that ranked last in his medical school class?

Doctor.

[RCOG2000]

Good one

[Murph256]

I’ve had surgery, radiation and ADT, so no, sex is definitely not the same as before. But with the help of modern medicine (viagra and trimix), I am functional. One advantage (the only advantage) is that with medication, I can last for well over an hour, which is good for her. Hey, nothing’s all bad. 😂

[Teacherdude72]

Many medical groups have a urologist that focuses on sexual disfunction.Find one, get appointment and you will get help.

[Cancer2x in reply to Teacherdude72]

Thanks. Far too late now, but the memories are fun to recall.

[gsun in reply to Cancer2x]

Never too late with waht's out there to help.

[j-o-h-n]

Two urologists were talking over lunch and one said to the other "I was this close {-------------} to being a gynecologist"

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Honest truth: my urology group has a doctor named Richard Tapper. Yep, Dick Tapper.

[Cancer2x in reply to GoBucks]

I’ve tapped Birch and Maple Trees for sap to make syrups. Wonder what kind of syrup he makes?

[GoBucks in reply to Cancer2x]

Lol. I don't want to know or find out.

[FinnO]

Damn urologists, they get ya cumin and goin.

[Brook5318]

Haha

[fast_eddie]

You forgot to mention the part about ADT causing gynecomastia. My urologist did too. There are preventive measures that he didn't bother mentioning. Some will argue that only a small percentage of men are so afflicted. 100% of men if it is you. They treat the disease, not the man. So what if you sprout tits? Not his problem. When I complained he sent me for a mastectomy. True story. Wasn't that fun. 😎

[Cancer2x]

Sounds like a very winnable malpractice lawsuit to me. Omission of SOC.
