I;m 75 and not ready to stop sexual activity. Cialis and viagra work to a degree but not 100%. Have been on testosteron ,1cc pr. wk.for last 2yrs. to no avail. My prostate is inlarged but flow not restricted to any large degree. Prescribed meds took away my sex drive. Off of those meds and libido is better. Any health store stuff that might help?

    There is a surgical solution with a penile implant, such as the AMS 700.  Just be very sure you have a well trained and experienced doctor should you consider that.

    I posted this in another thread. I've been looking into low frequency shock wave treatment. Google it. It's been done in Europe for years. I don't no if it's quackery or not but it's worth some Internet search time.

    My understanding is the penile implant is the absolute last resort. No going back after that surgery.

    Hi Richard,

    I tried most of the possible solutions to ED, meds,Cialis etc. = florescent lights turn blue, and you get temporary nasal congestion. They work well for a year or 3; penile suppositories = painful; vacuum pump = cuts off blood supply to your penis so it gets cold on the outside, and therefore it feels like a dead wet fish to your wife if she handles it. It's also painful and difficult to put on; penile injections are bound to be at least a little painful, hardly what is called for while making love; and also, repeated injections in one area are bound to create scar tissue which could eventually cause penile bending or Perones Disease. Finally, I got a penile implant. Problem SOLVED! You have a strong erection for as long as you and your partner want it, even after you ejaculate. Yes, it is surgery, and can go wrong. But it sound like you don't have much to lose. Get a very experienced person to do it. Private message me if you have more questions about it.

      Is penile implant covered by insurance in USA. What I heard, most of the time is paid by out of pocket by patients under the age of 65, and what wonders me is covered by Medicare.

      MK  Just looked it up.  It is covered has long as it is necessary.  You still will have to pay your 20%  I watched a few surgery's putting in the AMS700.  Did not like the first doctor that I watch but the last one made it seam so easy.  If you are planning on getting one.  Make sure you fine a good doctor and talk with some of his patients that he had put them in.  Good luck.  They say they last at least 20 years  Take care  Ken

      Glad to hear you like your implant. Not arguing with your results. That said, I have read many times that the post operation recovery time is quite painful. Also that its last resort and Once done, it can not be undone. If it was me, I be looking into low frequency shock wave therapy or Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections before going the implant route.  The few thousand dollars would be a worth while gamble before haveing implant surgery

      It was covered by MEDICARE in my case, and I'm sure it would be covered by insurance.

      My recovery was not more painful than other surgery. The main problem was dealing with the catheter, but if you clean where it enters your penis with peroxide mixed 50 percent with clean water, and keep that area covered with petroleum based triple antibiotic, it is is more comfortable. Also, ice helps a lot.

    I've found that the only thing that helps me with both libido and erection strength is Cialis.......unfortunately I can't afford it.  I have a few tablets left from when I got my discounted initial prescription but I take them sparingly.  Nothing else I have tried has worked as well.  But it works wonderfully for me.  I have erections and drive like I was when I was 16.  I love it!

      You can buy Cialis, Viagra etc from overseas from India for about a dollar for pill depends on quantity. ALLDAYCHEMIST look it up. Very affordable, fast shipping. I am using this pharmacy for over a year. No problems.
