so guys I am wondering if anyone has gone to a urologist for erection problems. I have been helpless for a while now and the one time I tried talking to the urologist I was seeing, he showed himself to be really disinterested to say the least. It took all I could do to say anything to him then and now I have been trying all sorts of treatments on my own because I cant handle the thought of more horrible testing I know i have a lot of cards stacked against me. prostate surgeries . ( 3 of them) plus diabetes and high blood pressure. so I am sure they will be talking about doing ultrasounds and nurses who do injections to try and cause to to get up. I have been reading about all these things for a long time now probably not a good thing
I have not been back to the uro and probably never will go back to him. but there are others IF I can manage I just wondered if anyone has been through the work up done the tests or anything to help me lessen the anxiety. I dont guess it would matter male or female either one would be awful to me but a male I can at least think I could manage. Im feeling just kind of hopeless and the wife is certainly not amused sure would be nice to see some progress

I haven't been to Dr specifically for this reason but I do understand how hard it is to bring things up like this to them. Sorry to hear you have a bad dr and I couldn't recommend more to get rid of him and find someone else. There are plenty of good doctors out there and willing to listen and help. Unfortunately if it's putting strain on your relationship then definitely worth finding a new Dr sooner than later. I usually choose female Dr's as they seem to be more understanding. Not to say male Dr's aren't but just my experience. Best of luck!
If you're in the UK, what does your GP say? But it sounds like you need a different urologist for sure. I shopped around for mine (I needed a prostate op).Can you please Mrs Toofreakedout in other ways?
my suggestion is just be straightforward and to the point when you go in ask for what you want , Cialis , trimix, Viagra , I’m 42 and take cialis I have had chemo which made it very hard to stay hard , I met with a urologist and knew what I was willing to try and presented him with that , he did an exam to make sure there was nothing externally wrong and then prescribed cialis it has been amazing , they can also do a blood flow ultrasound to see if that could be a cause it a small injection into the penis that causes an erection and the use ultrasound to view for blood flow issues . Please don’t go to anyone that makes you feel uncomfortable find a new urologist one that has good reviews . Good luck to you and hope you are able to find happiness again !
I had continuous issues after nerve damage to the base of my spine. I asked to be referred for penile implants that have returned me to having a fully functional sex life
5mg of tadalafil a day, avoid viagra 247 horniness is what is needed, morning wood, no headaches, protects from Dr Al Z they are saying.Great passion last night 'god you are so hard' music to any man's ear
Oh and BTW I did ask for a different doctor. and that is a done deal. starting over with a strange face adds maybe a different bit of anxiety. but it will be worth it I HOPE
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. It's important to find a urologist who listens and takes your concerns seriously. Given your history of prostate surgeries, diabetes, and high blood pressure, these conditions can definitely impact erectile function. Here are some treatment options you might consider discussing with a new urologist:
Injection Therapy: Medications like alprostadil can be injected directly into the penis to induce an erection.
Urethral Suppositories: Alprostadil can also be administered via a tiny suppository inserted into the urethra.
Vacuum Erection Devices: These can help achieve an erection by drawing blood into the penis.
Penile Implants: Surgical implants are an option if other treatments fail.
Lifestyle Changes: Managing your diabetes and blood pressure through diet, exercise, and medication can improve ED symptoms.
Consider seeking out a different urologist, preferably one recommended for their patient care. Counseling or therapy might also help manage anxiety related to ED. It’s important not to lose hope; many have found effective treatments by persisting in seeking care.
hey thank you for your replies it is very much appreciated. I have tried some of the medications... all of them in fact and their usefulness has faded. I am sure it is coming down to injections which am willing to try hesitantly I hate all the testing and trials before hand. and the other option being implant which I am most definitely hesitant about. it comes down to the fact that my wife is really missing the interaction and the closeness. other activities just don't replace it. recently it has become very clear just how much it hurts. I have to suck it up and do what must be done.
