Hi Guys

I'm 16 months after my Operation/surgery. Can't raise anything down below in a natural way. My surgeon told me he managed to spare Nerves on one side. Thinking of using argenine suplements to get things going. I'd try anything. I Do use the Vacuum pump but would rather try other options. I'm 55 other wise healthy. PSA now zero. 

Anybody out there got any positve outcomes having tried any one or two particular things?

Thanks

    My boyfriend uses the injections, he tried the pump but didnt work for him. The injections work, however i will say that after he has used them (especially if he puts in anything higher than a 5) the erection lasts him a few hours and he is in quite a lot of pain. (Not saying this would be the case for everyone but in his circumstance) he only uses this because he cant find another way.. if anyone knows of any natural methods please let me know also??? thank you

      If he is in pain he should seek medical advice. Also, he should not have an erection for so long. I recall having an ultrasound of the penis, long before my cancer was suspected, and was given some meds and told very clearly that if the erection stays for longer than a certain time (honestly I can't recall if it was 3 hrs or 4 hrs) I should call the imaging centre straight away.
