Injections after retinal detachment

Postby JH1982 » Mon May 08, 2023 7:07 am

Hi guys I will try to make this question even though i don’t know if someone will be able to respond to me.

I have ED and unfortunately I had two retinal detachments as well.

I red that there is a clear literature showing that pills are not a good move with retinal detachment as they can increase the risk of it reoccurring.

Does anyone of you know if injections can be dangerous as well?

I don’t find literature in that sense and I don’t fully trust the doctors

I experienced a torn retina in my left eye in August 2017. Emergency laser surgery that afternoon sealed the blood vessel damage in my eyeball.

I was diagnosed with PCa in June 2018, robotic prostatectomy (including ED) in October 2018.

I take 20mg sildenafil (generic Viagra) once a day for penile tissue maintenance. I have injected Trimix regularly since May 2019. No eye/retina issues have occurred with me.

Did your retinal surgeon tell you that it was safe to use Trimix?

I know that there is a small risk with pills

Consider that my retinal issues are more extensive then yours

I didn't get eye issues with PDE5i's but got bad Tinnitus trouble.

Once I had an onset where the Tinnitus wouldn't let me sleep at all, I had to play loud white noise, and it took 3 months for that tinnitus to go away and the worry was it could have been permanent. I was lucky.

But with injections I have not had any reoccurrance of this tinnitus, the injections are too localised.
45yo, venous leak. Pills increased tinnitus (very rare). Using bimix+atropine, 0.2 of:
Atropine Sulfate: 52MCG/ML, Phentolamine MES: 0.9MG/ML, Papaverine HCL: 26MG/ML
