DON'T GET A PENILE IMPLANT!!! worst decision I have ever made. 8 months post-op and I'm extremely much smaller, 4-5 inches shorter, at least half of my normal length and girth is essentially non-existent. I can now hide my entire erect penis inside my closed fist and my girth is now only "slightly" larger than my thumb, absolutely embarrassing! I finally asked my girlfriend for her honest assessment, she said I'm definitely much smaller to the point it feels like I'm only fingering her and she can no longer achieve an orgasm with me, also said it is most noticeable during oral sex. This entire experience has been emotionally, mentally, and physically devastating to the point I have contemplated suicide! I have now accepted the fact I will never be able to satisfy a woman ever again and possibly never have sex again, I just want the damn thing out of me!!!

Actually, I feel more anxiety after watching this video and reading the comments 😳when he said, "Maybe we have to go a second time!"😮 My stone is 7mm outside the kidney already. I have passed many stones, but doctor says this one is too big😖

Spot on, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much simpler and potent now!

Feeling back pain, painful urination and headache for more than 3 years, can it be prostate cancer or what

I have a kidney stone. I may have to get a ureteroscopy if my stone does not pass at the end of this month. What pain med is given after the procedure. I cannot take morphine because I have a dangerous “reaction” to it and cannot take it. If morphine is given, do urologists prescribe something else if the patient cannot take morphine?

I was recently slammed (out of nowhere) by 4-5mm kidney stones. Two were lodged in the left ureter which sent me to ER. The pain is indescribable and relentless. A stent was immediately placed to clear the blockage and surgery was scheduled 10 days later so the infection had a chance to clear. THE STENT PAIN IS HORRIBLE AND YOU WILL BE MISERABLE. After surgery to remove the stones, the stent was replaced as a precaution of ureter swelling and another 8 days of stent agony ensued. I’ve been completely panicked for the last week reading comment after comment about the barberic procedure and pain involved to remove the stent. Happy to say I experienced ZERO pain and nothing was given for numbing during the procedure. It was a little uncomfortable due to pressure but even that was over in less than a minute. All of this to say everyone is different so someone else’s experience won’t be your experience. My suggestion, take something for pain prior to the procedure “just in case” and relax. The relief is immediate and I’m so glad it’s over. Good luck to everyone.

What about people that have to cath themselves on a daily basis closed urethra

Im still having lots of blood 2 days later after 14mm stone removal

I had a urolift on 12, 2022. Now I had 3 days ago the squablation. I’m bleeding a lot into the catheter bag also the clips from the urolift surgery can be removed?

Thank you for the information Doc.

I having this done in two weeks. My urologist made it sound like its not a big deal. I will just be uncomfortable for awhile. Famous last words I guess.

I been showing protien in urine for 30 years but only recently had PSA test of 5 seen urologist 30 years ago finally told well some men just have some protien

Very interesting. Good job. Best discussion I've seen.

PIcs and charts... why not use them?

Thank you, very clear explanation.

This was so helpful! I’m having this procedure tomorrow. Thank you for this video!

Thank you so much that’s exactly what my doctor tell me 😊

Black male patients could always visit Missouri's largest hospital for urology. After being toyed with by an old and mean nurse a woman doctor could pretend to calmly be listening to your symptoms while planning her prank. She has you pull your pants down standing up and the door willnopen and close about five times with women laughing outside the door. Then, she steps out saying she i talkin to a superior to send a white man to make fun of you. He paces for a minute and half, ask you two unimportant questions, circle pace some more until he flees the room laughing yalking about masturbation to prove she ignore every word you said for racist reasons. Then she comes back in the room. You appreciate her calm manner without the hateful playing by others that you trust her even though she still seems to be ignoring symptoms and what may have happened. Then, when you see your young female physician again she is playfully making fun of you. Of course, because you are black you are supposed to be too stupid to point out when she clearly makes the wrong comments. But she is drunk over the stunned and freightened face of someone dumb enough to trust her. She stress your health and privates DO NOT MATTER. Your life and options in life are NO BIG DEAL while fighitng her urge to burst out in laughter. Then, you are back at the urogilist often to make put you in place because before a cystoscopy. She is out of breath and rudely talking fast to rush putting the camera through you already hurting privates. She hoes back fourth to the room you were early for more and more looking like she wrestling or fighting bears in another room. She is insanely still rushing you while you are 100% waiting on her and the nurses to be ready. Then she invites two tall younger female students to the procedure. After takkin o you like she hates you immediately after the cystoscopy; your pants are still down. They loudly make fun of you and your penis size right outside the door. Of course, in that area you saw only black male patients in the lobby for his Asian woman urologist to play the NOT BBC game in.

Thank you for the very clear explanation of what I am about to go through!! 😊

I got my labs done and an EKG now I have to do a stress test tomorrow morning to get clearance for surgery and I really hope it doesn’t take too long to get cleared after the stress test because my surgery is on the 12th

The first time I went to a urologist in PA, he did not do any blood or urine tests.He only showed me some walnuts and vompare different ones to my prostate size

🤔 Excessive ejactulations also increase PSA levels

Thanks very valuable

The new perineal prostate targeted biopsy has fewer infections.

Great explanation. Just wished he would have elaborated more on velocity. In 2011 my.psa bounced from 5.53 to 4.76. Then in 2013 back to 5.53. Then in 2022 it went to 8.6. I know velocity and how long it takes to double in value is an important factor.

I was searched in Google but giving negative results to this ureteroscophy...

If she is not a concern, why isn't more older men getting it done?

Thank you for sharing.

Stents are hell absolutely agonising when urinating and im a strong guy but I almost scream peeing the pain in kidney is excruciating and like being punched hard in the kidney and the pain can last so it's constant agony..plus we must drink minimum of 2 litres of water daily its sure no fun! I can't imagine anything more painful

Most doctors, don't want you to bother them, they merely say theirs risks in living, ask for tests , and they say it'll cost you,expensive if unnecessary, but you be the best judge.

i guess noone does hands on surgery anymore for stones, its camera only it appears.

hi I need your second opinion about my situation with prostate cancer that I am dealing with for 3 years now.. it started when I had a very bad back pain on the left side to be accurate I thought it was a kidney stone after the ultrasound the ct scan and the other check and finally a blood test and biopsy they found out that my PSA was 274 and I was diagnosed with prostate cancer metasis to the bones. I was on pills for more than a year and lupron shot and still on it after a year and a half the pills start not working and my PSA was going up my pills was changed & again the other pill didn't work I did 3 times radiation of course with the pain that I had with my bones, they did a genetic test it was from my both sides, I did chemo for 5 times did a big damage on my nerves stoped and then I was on pills again for 6 months only and now ia m back on chemo again this is my fifth one and my PSA was 7 went up to 12 & 17.2 & now 20.3 please give me your opinion I would appreciated

So my understanding that you can save ejaculation function?

Some of those medications may cause an aggressive prostate cancer!

Very informative video. For me it started as a year by year elevation of PSA from mid 4 to mid 5 to mid 6 then a jump to 10 in a matter of three months. That was a sign it was time for a biopsy which was positive for cancer. Fortunately it was identified early, not super aggressive and there is a high confidence that it's confined to the prostate (bone scan to confirm). Cryoabation (sp) will be done to deal with the cancer and hopefully it will be successful.

Good to know. However, if your psa goes higher it’s necessary right away to conduct a biopsy, or conduct a MRI?🤔 Thank you.

WOW...this doctor's is so clear on what will actually take place with this procedure. i am going to have this done in a few weeks and i am so glad i was able to here what he had to say.. thank you so much. i wish you were my doctor.....................jk

Good explanation of PSA density. My husband has a density of 0.016, his doctor told us he has prostate cancer and needs a TRUS biopsy. His urologist says we just do PSA tests and MRI imaging.

Will implant work if the man has neurological ED as the result of Parkinson's Disease? It seems this is common with PD....

Your video is terrific

what he doent tell you is he cant biopsy the whole prostate so he can miss cancer also if you get an infection it could kill you

Excellent explanation Dr. ! my brother just had his third PSA result and it has been going up from 4 to 6.49 to 8.08.. do you have a urologist you highly recommend in the Miami, or Miami Beach area? He hasn’t had any MRI, nor biopsy yet. He is 64 years old. I am worried … can you please help? Thank you so much and many blessings. Georgina

Very informative.. thank you..makes me feel more positive 😊

Penile implants are plastics that turn the real penis into a dummy!!!👎

A nice level-headed gentleman
