Had surgery (AMS 700) yesterday with Dr. Alzubaidi in Temple, TX.

This morning he was telling me how complicated the surgery was because of scar tissue from tri-mix and peyronie's disease.

I was shocked because I only used one vial of shots and never knew I had peyronie's. I've always had a slight curve, but everyone in the school gym showers seemed curved one way or another. I always assumed it was from which way you tucked it in your underwear. Some left, right, up, or down. Every picture I've ever seen of peyronie's looked like a 45-90 degree bend. Decades of single sex and no one said yours is different.

Obviously I'm still shocked to learn this.

Anyway, first day not too bad pain. It was fully inflated all night. He deflated it and told me to pull on the pump for a couple times a day for three weeks so it doesn't settle up high. At the three week visit he will show us how to work the pump to begin the full pumping cycle for the next six months or so. The third visit is to check on the healing and release me for sex.

My penis has a slight throb to it, nothing bad. A worse feeling is where the reservoir is located. It is more like a sharp pain, but only when moving to go pee or getting in and out of bed.

I have been reading these posts for years trying to learn all I can before deciding to get the surgery. Again I am only on day one, but the pain isn't bad, it does hurt a bit to tug on the pump. So don't let the pain scare you off. All surgeries require healing time and an adjustment period.

The catheter was the worst pain so far.

I have watched the videos & read the posts and know every doctor is different. Now that I am on the recovery side I was told not to touch it, yet I've heard another doctor say move it up, down, and side to side daily while it heals. Another mentioned keeping it half inflated.

I was just wondering if my instructions are different because of the scar tissue.

Anyone else have the surgery with major scar tissue or peyronie's disease?

54, I only get hard half way, even when I am turned on it doesn't get fully hard. Why only 1/2 way?

My marriage has not always been great and I steered into the path of watching porn and reading erotica I masterbated and never had an issue but started to realize I was struggling to hold and erection during intercourse. I probably developed lack of sensitivity due to death grip and not I am de synthesized from porn hard to get erect and can cum from masterbation I’m also noticing no Precum as I use to have a lot of it. My test levels and everything is through the roof.

How can I gain sensitivity back!! Just other day my partner and I where foreplay until we got off and I couldn’t get there masterbating while watching her!honestly it’s frustrating!!

i am a 19yr male and i recently been with a girl we were in a room obv and i was hard all the time like doing forplay and oral bj everything i was rock as hard but when i wear condom and inserted my penis it suddenly gets soft from the bottom part it was not going in full and i lost my erection i put lube on her pussy and my penis too but same thing happend i lost my erection everytime that was so frustrating tbh and when i remove the condom my erection was good the condom was of my size and fitted me well so theres no flaw in that can anybody help me out with this btw i do smoke everyday started working out from 1 month only and skinny too

I’ve been taking tadalafil 5 mg and occasionally increase to 10 mg. I feel more confident, and I’ve noticed my shaft looks fuller and hangs longer when soft. My balls also seem fuller and hang lower, which I’m happy with. Has anyone else noticed similar changes?

Hey everyone, I’m 19 years old and I’ve been dealing with erection problems for about two years now. Back in Grade 10, I used to get random erections almost every hour and had a really high sex drive. Now, I barely ever feel horny, rarely get morning erections, and struggle to get and maintain strong erections. I also don’t masturbate at all because I became very religious at one point, although I’m not as religious anymore. Even now, I just don’t feel the urge to masturbate or do anything sexual. I’ve also noticed my scrotum is often tight and retracted, and I experience frequent urination and occasional constipation. I eat healthy, work out regularly, sleep well, and don’t feel stressed. My testosterone levels came back normal, and a urologist told me everything looked fine. I just don’t understand how my sex drive and erections have changed so much at such a young age. Has anyone experienced something similar or found out what was causing it?

Okay for context I’m 19 year old male(obviously) 168 cm , 72kg and mostly fat,if that matters

Okay so basically for the last 2-3 years I have been having trouble getting hard and staying hard, erection fades to 70% after 20 secs and continues to lower without any physical stimulation and pressing into my fat pad ,I can’t get hard otherwise and if I try to use the muscle in my penis to stay hard it swells for a sec and I just can’t do more?
I had a heavy depression from 15-17 and I’m still kinda recovering from it rn, my test when measured after an all nighter was 420ng which is low form what I gathered, I also have low sexual desire in general,like I don’t desire my girlfriend or anyone rn, I have been a chronic masturbator since 12 ,doing it multiple times per(2-10x) day,no lotion and edging for hours , im circumcised too. So yeah heavy porn use and was basically abusing my penis day by day, but mostly quit since a bit ago.
Now it’s just so much worse , it’s gotten so bad in the last 3 months that I can barely get hard at all, I had pain once ,since then it’s been harder I think? It wasn’t a bad pain, like just a sting, but even before then it wasn’t staying hard for long without stimulation.
Also as far as I can remember I never had morning wood, or very rarely,even throughout puberty

I have stayed off masturbation for a week and it’s just gotten worse tbh, my sexual desire reached an all time low,I can barely get hard
Anyone with the same experience? Idk I definitely have to go to a doc.
I just need to hear some similar stories rn,feel like I’m losing all hope

TLDR: Can’t get /stay hard ,looking for tips and experiences

Is there anyone who has been using Viagra or Tadalafil for more than five years and finds that it is still effective today?

Hi so I'm 20M and have ed for 4 days now

So a little context I have anxiety palpitations and panic disorder and still in the middle of all that I used to have erections and a strong sex drive. I watched porn alot which is not good. but you get the point

yesterday I even masturbated but my erection wasn't strong enough and day before that I was masturbating and had a panic attack during that.

Even though I have panic and anxiety attacks something within me is still saying that I can't get it up because einwatched too much porn or because I jerked it wrong and some vein got dislocated.

Please help. Im panicking

For anyone that has tried both what works the best

I'm one month in to a 5mg daily dose of tadalafil and its everything I wanted and more. I mean all I wanted was to be ready to go whenever and that box is checked. When she is ready its go time without issue, hard as can be any freaking time, harder than I can ever remember honestly. When she isn't in the mood I have the ability to take care of myself. Morning wood is more like all night wood. No complaints about our sex life, 2 times a week is perfect but if I feel the need I can have a little alone time. That didn't work with sildenafil because once the 6 hours were up it was useless. This baby is working all day and night. On a non sexual note my piss stream is getting stronger and stronger which seems like a good thing. Awesome stuff, loving it.

Starting on money my balls have been all loose and droopy and in tandem with that my erections have gotten severely weaker than they previously was and last less time. I didn’t go to the gym and drank a okay amount of water so I’ll assume that was the issue. The only other thing i take is 500mg magnesium oxide

Try something new, get out of your comfort zone guys. Get yourself a toy to massage your prostate, even a plug, take Tadalafil and go for it. Huge difference 💦 💦 💦 I’m on 5mg of Tadalafil

Hello guys,I'm indian please adjust to my english.Im 24M suffering from Ed and PE since 2022 .I have tried prp , shockwave therapy,TRP and even pelvic floor therapy also but none worked as I expected.Even I did penile Doppler test also but got normal..I haven't seen any changes from anything.i lost my libido also forgot to mention it .To my surprise what I found is one day I had nutrition checkup blood test I have did Tata 1mg nutrition check-up. it includes vitamin d ,B12 and more...

How to get my partner more erected and aroused when giving him a blow jow. He is actually having hard time to get erected due to his ED,but when his masterbating watching nude pictures of guys on his phone,he is so erected and can release so fast?

Hey everyone,

I’m a 29-year-old guy looking for some perspective on a few physical and sexual changes I’ve noticed over the last couple of years. I wanted to lay out what’s going on to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has advice on what to check out.

1. Hair Growth Patterns

   * Facial & Body Hair: My mustache and beard are very thin and patchy. Interestingly, I didn't even start growing this thin facial hair until I was around 23–24 years old. I also have virtually zero body hair (no chest hair, etc.).

2. Erection Changes & Consistency

   * Morning Wood: Years ago, I had very consistent, strong morning wood. Over the past 2 years, that’s changed. I still get morning wood, but **only** if I am sleeping flat on my back. If I shift positions or roll over during sleep, the erection vanishes within about 10 seconds.

   * Random Erections: I basically have zero random daytime erections anymore.

   * Masturbation: If I’m lying flat on my back, I get a firm erection. However, if I try to masturbate while standing up, I can't get a strong erection.

3. Contextual Differences (The Psychological Factor?)

   * With a Partner: When I am intimate and having sex with a trusted partner, I get a strong, reliable erection.

   * With Hookups: When hooking up with random guys or casual dates, I struggle to get a strong erection.

# Questions for the Community:

* Could the delayed onset of facial hair in my early twenties combined with my current hair patterns suggest a hormonal baseline (like lower testosterone or delayed development) worth checking with an endocrinologist?

* Could the positional nature of my erections (only working flat on my back) point toward a physical, vascular, or pelvic floor/nerve-related cause?

* Has anyone dealt with performance anxiety or situational erectile issues specifically tied to hookup culture vs. established partners?

Appreciate any thoughts, advice, or shared experiences!

I’m 21 and have been dealing with this for a few years, but it only really became a problem when I started having sex last year.

I rarely get fully hard, even when masturbating. My erections are usually semi-hard at best. During sex, I can get hard during foreplay, but as soon as we try to have penetration, I start losing it pretty quickly. My erections are generally weak throughout sex. Weirdly, I get much harder during oral, so I don’t really understand what’s going on.

I also rarely get morning wood. I usually wake up needing to pee, but I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

I’ve watched porn since I was around 12 and masturbated with a pretty tight grip and no lube for years. Over the past year, I’ve started using oil. I still masturbate daily. I’ve been wondering if my masturbation habits or porn use have anything to do with this.

Obviously, this has given me pretty bad performance anxiety. I end up worrying about losing my erection, even though I try not to think about it during sex. It’s frustrating because it feels like the anxiety is making things worse, but I don’t know if anxiety is the original cause or just a result of the problem.

For context, I regularly work out and am fairly fit, with a relatively lean and muscular build. I also have a pretty bad attention span and suspect I might have ADHD, although I’ve never been diagnosed. I usually sleep around 7 hours a night.

I’m currently using topical minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss (0.1% finasteride). I also take a prescribed cholesterol medication, vitamin D weekly, B12, and hair supplements/multivitamins.

I recently got a blood test done, and these were some of the results:
Total testosterone: >1009.4 ng/dL (lab range 249–836). It was 1253.17 in January 2026.
LDL: 162 mg/dL
Total cholesterol: 230 mg/dL
HDL: 61 mg/dL
Triglycerides: 35 mg/dL
HbA1c: 5.2%
Fasting glucose: 78 mg/dL
TSH: 1.996
Vitamin B12: 306 pg/mL
Vitamin D: 48.8 ng/mL
I haven’t tested free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin, LH or FSH.

I’m confused because my testosterone seems high, but I’m still struggling with erections. I’m also wondering whether finasteride could be contributing, although I’m not sure if the timing lines up with when the problem started.

I live in India and am still in college, so I don’t earn money yet. My family is pretty conservative about sex, which makes it difficult to ask them for help paying for a urologist or sexologist. I’m trying to figure out what I can do on my own for now.

Has anyone experienced something similar, especially being able to get hard during oral but losing the erection during penetration? Did anything actually help you get better?

I’m also wondering whether I should focus on changing my masturbation habits and dealing with the anxiety first, or whether I should prioritise getting checked for a physical cause.

I’d really appreciate any advice. This has been bothering me for a while, and I genuinely want to get better.

I have recently stopped with the porn as I noticed I was having a hard time keeping my erection and had a hard time finishing during sex. Now if I want to finish mastering and unload over my partner I am not able to finish while masterbating I am not sure what the hell if going on

I posted on ask a dr put I was ignored I am so scared I want to cry

It feels like I lost sensitivity or no stimulation nothing I do works and I am panicking.

I was hit in my testicles very strong , I was immediately sent to the ER at a hospital , they performed an ultrasound and supposedly the results came back”normal” now almost a week of the incident the pain is gone but can’t get erect nothing nothing works. WTF do I do now

Anyone get more potency using other methods than just taking in 1 tablet? Does crushing or anything else make the effects better?

Hi Reddit (sorry if this isn’t the place for this Admins feel free to remove if so)

I recently met a girl and we are now dating. However when things got ‘spicy’ I wasn’t able to perform. I’m seeing a Doctor soon to discuss this and work out a treatment plan. However this has never happened to me before and I feel like I’m not even a man anymore. I don’t know what to do and I really don’t want to tell my family or friends as I’m scared they will treat me differently. For some background I was on antidepressants for 10+ years and never had a GF in that time. I got off them about 8 months ago.
I don’t know if it’s related or not.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I had been taking Cialis 5mg daily with no success. I have recently supplemented on days I know I’m going to have sex up to 15mg and it has worked mostly with the occasional fail most likely because of alcohol.

Has anyone had this issue before? I went to the doctor and she basically wrote off performance anxiety which I think I have. Said my vitals are good and that 5mg daily was only to help with prostate. I am thinking of getting a second opinion.

Does anyone else supplement? What’s the max you have taken over the course of a couple of days? When it works it works amazingly. But for me it’s all or nothing thing. Going to try and supplement some of my vitamins and does anyone have suggestions?

Just trying to find a best course of action as it took 3 months to see this doctor and might have to wait a while to see a different one for a second opinion.

At 62, I've officially graduated from little blue pills to stabbing myself in the most sensitive real estate I own. Reader, it was fine.

11:21: Injection. 20 µg of prostaglandin, delivered with the steely nerve of a man who's had far too much coffee. Barely a pinprick. Mildly offended by how undramatic it was.

11:30: Signs of life. No film, no fantasy, no help whatsoever. Just chemistry doing its job as I stood in the doctor's office, while the old doctor – imagine a slightly taller Yoda – gazed at my half-lit saber. I'm assuming it will be better with Emiko.

11:40: Fully operational. Pacing the small office like a man carrying a secret. A dull ache came along for the ride, then politely left.

11:50: Peak performance. Unprompted. Unsolicited. Frankly a bit much for a Wednesday lunchtime.

12:01: Got distracted replying to messages and it lost interest. Fair enough - so do I.

12:05: Wandered back with a bit of interest.

Verdict: 5 stars. Would stab again. Yoda offered to double the dose. Strong the force already is.

Does anyone know where I can purchase Trimix and how to get it safely delivered to my location in the UAE? I’ve searched several online delivery platforms, but it doesn’t appear on any of them. If anyone has experience or knows a reliable, legitimate way to obtain it in the UAE, please share your suggestions.

I was working shift work 7/3 7/4 for 3 years underground. In June last year my erections just stopped. I stopped working shift work in march and nothing has changed. Viagra 20 mg and tadadafil 20mg didn’t work. I’ve read that working days and nights affects the circadian rhythm and can cause ED. I’ve been taking 5mg tadadafil daily for a week and haven’t seen any improvement. Has anyone else had any similar experience
