Just a guess, but sounds like your doctor didn't make a very convincing argument for the surgery. I would suggest considering another doctor who previously has dealt with your insurance company.

A cooler will work just fine.

Do what makes you happy. However, note that at your age you'll certainly outlive your first implant. You may need two or three implant surgeries over your lifespan. I would suggest trying injections for a while and then moving up to the implant if you don't find injections satisfactory. As for your ...

Probably nothing to worry about. The prostate may have become irritated by the massage. Give it a few days. If it persists, see your doctor. Masturbate daily for a while to determine if blood is in your semen. If several days pass and you're still seeing blood you should call your doc.

I am currently using injections and will have radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer later this year.

Now my formula is much stronger but I have never come close to having a case of priapism despite how much I inject. Trimix is a wonderful drug but incredibly unpredictab...
