any ED experiences out there ?

Hi everyone ,

I been away and now back to the board.

I hope everyone is doing well, and i wanted to share some thoughts and experiences on the ED front , we post PC treatment patiens experiencing.

I am almost 4 months post Open Surgery , and been doing really well with continence since the first month, but ED is moving slow.

I visited my Uro/ Surgen just last month; PSA is great , and he was hoping i am already functioning sexually, since he advised me that the operation went great and was clean cut as he expected , without much blood lose , and was a full Bi Laterat nerve sparing procedure.

I told him i am not yet at full functioning or full erations, and he reassured me that i will have a good and healthy sexuall functioning.

As i have said i am now 4 months post OP and i do see some slow progress and improvement, especiall after using 1/2 a dose of 100mg viarga (compare to the others like Cialis and levitra).
Sensetion and partial eration is there at this time, and about 80% eration after orgasms when masterbating (i guess it means that nerves and blood flow is there).

I wanted to post this to share and read some other experiences out there of those who have been or still is down that road, and learn about the road ahead of me and others like me...

Even though i have heard that 6 months is kind of the time frame to start and see some progress in the ED front, i would appriciate any responses and comments.

Again i hope everyone is doing well , and thanks for your helpful input.

PS: Debbie , Great rweading your post and i am happy Hubby is pogressing well !! i recall the stress you 2 been through at first !! Keep up the good work!!!!

Re: any ED experiences out there ?

I hit 8 months post-op on 09/30/2007...

Take it from me...

It gets much better!

I'm virtually 100 percent in both areas, incontinence and ED.

Have patience!

Best wishes

Re: any ED experiences out there ?

just passed the supposedly magical 6 month mark and not any where near usuable erections. will it ever return?! frustrating.

my program entails VED for conditioning, and Viagra twice a week. I also take l-arginine, Omega-3, CoQ10, and pycnogenol supplements.
