The implant should not be the last option

I belive that the reason for this decline as to do with my pelvic floor dysfunction pain flair that are occurring often and it's a chronic condition now. It making my erections weaker, short live, and faster ejaculatio. I m very healthy otherwise. I take daily supplements that suppat to help blodd flue down there.....I don't want this condition to controll the rest of my life. Even if the surgery can worsen my pelvic floor dysfunction at least I m guarantee that it won't compromise my erections quality. This is my conclusion. I m exaggerating to wanting the penile implant because my penis somewhat still works or at times that I don't have flare words pretty good?

Ps. I tried all kids or remedies for my pelvic floor dysfunction some were very expensive like pelvic enjection but still noting. Symptoms come and go from no where.

Having the surgery does not remove the need to address your pelvic floor dysfunction. Seek out a physical therapist (you may have to interview several until you find one who understands your condition and how to treat it) and try to make it better, even before your implant surgery. Even if your pelvic floor problems do not compromise your erection quality, if it compromises your sexual enjoyment it deserves to be addressed. You deserve to have it resolved.

I agree this condition is a nightmare I wish this upon no one. I m signed up with a pelvic Rehabilitation private company. I did physical therapy, pelvic ejection (very expensive 6k for the package) my insurance dint cover. I take muscle relaxer which help somewhat. At times I get some relieve and I was symptoms free but then again flair up. Even though the pain is bad it's not compromising my life. What is compromising is my sex life which is the reason I now want to put an end to this by getting an implant. I understand this chronic condition may never completely go away. But at least It won't longer make my sex life bad if I get an implant. I can always deal with the pain and load up on meds so that the pain won't stand a chance to ruin my sex.....the implant may even make my symptoms better. Who knows. Button line I will try a different therapist, clinc and more as i have already done in the past. But now my priority is my sex life. Pelvic can wait and do its think I m over it

Just this one mans opinion. I think the phrase "last option" is misunderstood.
Literally every health issue is treated by progressively aggressive measures. Weight loss, high blood pressure, high lipids, type 2 diabetes all follow a medically accepted path.
What we amateurs see as the path for ED is exactly the same way. Are we calling it the "final option" or is it the final option as defined by our medical professionals?
That is a real question that men must answer. We see so many scared men, some very young. That are scared shitless by the phrase. Several of us old members spend lots of effort trying to to convince these guys that implants aren't the horrible result that urban legends have convinced them it is.
I have seen a few, very few. Finally show up looking for a dr & trying to navigate the horrible path through whatever healthcare sysem that they are in. Being in a goverment run health system like England or Canada doesn't seem to be any superior. Compared to finding insurance coverage or saving up to cash pay in the USA. I'd take the USA system because at least I'd have some control over the outcome. But that just my opinion.
Having ED is a difficult illness to successfully get treated for anywhere on this planet. Not to mention that the partners in our lives have to endure it in one way or another.
Sorry guys, just a typical long post from me. But I hope that it provokes some thoughts & perhaps some opinions to get posted.

To address ShouldIwait & Antonio1010's point about pills & shots working long term. I think that treatment follows my above post. If the medical system has established that as a step in the accepted treatment plan then there is a chance that it might be acceptable as a long term solution.
The reality of the treatment is that almost all men will eventually fail with pills. Long term success with shots isn't very good either. But we do have members that its worked well for many years. But the risk of peyronies is real. The planning & care of the drug is a hassle.
For what this is worth. My implant dr didn't seem to be a fan of injectables. You could argue that the surgery fees clouded his mind. But having a long term patient that needs regular checkups in order to provide prescription refills seems profitable also. I think my primary dr does fairly well by monitoring the conditions listed in my signature line. But on the other hand I do think he is a caring guy.
Wish you all well.

I absolutely love the implant, so i am biased. I like it better than any natural erection ever, having it at 18 would have been fun. I used to be able to bust 3 nuts in 5 min, now its like 1 and done after 20+. 1 a day, 2 would be tuff.

I also hate taking pills, it would have been nice to get it done at 44/5 years ago. I think the orgasms are harder now because i just dont get as excited, its super fun but its a mind thing for me i think.

If you are unhappy with your erections and pills aren’t working I say go for it.
Your body, your choice .
I had sex recently with zero anxiety for the first time in my life. It was an amazing feeling. I was also able to go in about 4 different positions without losing erection for 35 minutes. I also got a follow up text the next morning about what a good time she had.
The only downside, I am not able to achieve an orgasm yet.
Hopefully, this is improves with time.
But my dick is pretty much Same size as pre op, my girth is almost an inch bigger, worry free, and no pills.
I would say it’s a pretty good option if you have the means to do it.

As an older guy who had a good working dick up until ED hit in my mid-50's getting the implant was the last option. Pills failed then injections failed. Each was a step towards the implant, and I only wish I had known about implants before taking my first Viagra. But then I didn't know how long pills were going to work and didn't know anything about injections either. When Viagra became unreliable, and the side effects were so bad the thought of giving up sex was depressing, more depressing than when ED started. Finding Trimix ended the depression for a couple of years, until it became unreliable. And I still knew nothing about implants at that time.
I feel for any guy who has erection issues no matter how young or old. There are so many different "fixes" available no male should have to fear intimate relationships. It's good to see so much more information regarding ED available for the male population to educate themself. It's a tough and embarrassing condition to discuss.

An implant should absolutely be the last option. Most men getting them are destined for multiple surgeries just to replace broken implants. That is on top of whatever other surgeries they may need for other body parts. It's not a sex toy
