Hi from UK - Implant looks like the best option (trying NHS)

Hi everyone.

Thanks for what everyone posts here. This forum has provided me advice than any other source so far, by a long shot.

Bit about me.

Approaching 50. First sign of ED when I was 24 years old (it has been a pain in the as kouney). Was able to get away with using pills, but the last so many years, nothing does it now.

Had a doppler test and I have a venous leakage. One possibility of fixing the leakage was testosterone
supplementation until the doc realized all my testosterone results are actually off the scale. So i have a 20 year old sex drive and
a broken dick.

I see the implant as most definitely the best option. I can't be wrestling with pumps, pills, injections etc.,
that do not fully work anymore. I've actually took a viagra, and an injection, and with a pump ring on......crazy!!!

I will ask a question here but my guess is I should open up a new post, but it's worth asking while i am writing now.

Has anyone had an implant in the UK with the NHS? I ask as I have an appt in Sheffield and they possibly do
the implants if the person (me) qualifies. A concern I have (even if I could have it done on the NHS) is there is not much about NHS
surgeons doing the implants apart from Dr Ralph in London and everyone states here to get the best surgeon possible.
Finances are an issue at the moment, but if I have to save for a few years then that's what it will have to be.

I will report my journey in the forum as this place is invaluable and I should pay in forward.

Much appreciated.

You can get an implant at no cost under the NHS. There are NHS centres of excellence around the UK and several good surgeons not only Professor Ralph. Read my posts. After 4 years my implant still works perfectly and has completely restored the sexual side of my life.
80 year old Type2 diabetic, long term ED, pills then injections PGE1. After 4 years they became less effective. Implanted 20/3/2018 by NHS. AMS 700 CX 15+4 cm with MS pump. Never had any significant pain. Still working perfectly and used regularly.
