Well 1st of all, his post op pathology was G6, right? And if so, most likely it was all contained, right? No +margins, SV invasion or lymph node invasion? If all of that is the case, I would not be...
This is a good thread and something I currently have questions about. My bf had his surgery in October of 2013, Gleason 6. They are obviously doing the ultra sensitive test since his first score was...
My bf had surgery in 2013. I remember at about 2-3 weeks out he overdid it a bit and passed some pretty significant blood clots. I scoured the internet and read that it was fairly common especially...
My Bf had his surgery 10/13 at age 48. We also started injections at about 5 or 6 months post. Prior to that we used the pump and ring and pill since the pill alone could not do enough. I agree we...
For my Bf, at 6 weeks with Levitra, 30%, used pill, pump and ring until 4 months, started using injections. At about 10 months intercourse possible with just a pill (Viagra), but erection not as hard...

Pratoman, Another woman chiming in, but yes I remember what my boyfriend was like after surgery. He is 16 months post surgery now. He is usually a pretty upbeat positive guy, but all of it was...

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the info!...
My boyfriend had his surgery October 2013. He was Gleason 6 which was confirmed from pathology report. I did not get to read the pathology report, but remember boyfriend reporting that doctor said,...
Firefly (Jenni), Thank you for the info. I have tried supplements in the past, especially vitamin D because he was low in this. I never added vitamin C. Had not thought of that. He is taking some...

Jay1957, yes I agree the injections helped the most at 6 months post surgery. I think we were at about 9-10 months when Viagra actually started working enough for intercourse. It definitely takes...

Have to agree with dmlvt on the TriMix recommendation. My bf had surgery 5 months ago. He can use Viagra or Levitra without bad side effects but only gave him 50% erection. We also used VED and had...
Have never tried Muse. Bf is 5 months post surgery and just tried his third injection of Trimix. The first two were too much. At 2 hours had to take 2 Sudafed and an ice pack, which thankfully...
My boyfriend is 4 months post-op. At about 2 months post-op we started using a VED and ring in order to have intercourse. The ring we use goes over the penis only. I could not speak to any other type...
Keane, Your reasons are very good reasons and understandable. My only suggestion was going to be to get the best surgeon possible, with thousands of surgeries under their belt. You get one shot at...
