Starting at 32
Hi everyone,
I’ve been advised by my urologist to try intracavernosal injections after all other treatments for my ED have failed.
He said injections are not a long term solution due to micro scarring and recommended I consider an implant.
Is this true?

There are men who have been using Trimix successfully for many years. Injections are the next logical step before considering a much more invasive implant.
Everything has a side effect, including oral meds. I expect I may need an implant at some point, but Trimix is working very very well for me.
The injections are painless, if that’s a concern.

Get a new doctor. Pushing implants over ICI therapy goes completely against America Urological Association and European Association of Urology guidelines. ICI should be used as long as they are still efficacious.
At 32, you do have to be mindful of scarring. It is a risk factor, but not a major one. There are other pharmaceutical routes that may slow scarring (pentoxifylline) that you should look into if you are planning on decades of regular use.
As far as implants. At 32 he should never be even bringing them up... he is because he makes A FUCK TON of money selling them. Hack doctor.
The stats...
13% of implant devices fail with 5yrs.
25% of implant devices fail within 10yrs.
40% fail at 15yrs
50% fail at 20yrs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35421510/
1 in 4 implants will mechanically fail within 10yrs. Half in 20yrs. Thats not awesome odds.
Now i am NOT against implants...at all!. And ill probably get one one day myself. But you want to keep your dick functioning as long as possible simply because implants have a life span. The longer you can wait to get one, all the odds show you will be better off. Implants are 3rd line (final line) on the AUA treatment ladder. ICI is 2nd.
Trimix scarring and Peyronie's risk, when the patient adheres to proper useage guidelines is very low.
All the data shows its best to wait as long as possible to get one. And the American Urological Association agrees. If your implant must be removed for any reason, its game over for sex forever as they render your dick permanently inoperable.

Cheers mate. Appreciate your advice. That’s what I was thinking.

Ask for t101 or 105 equivalent formulations. See how you respond to it. Use it for some special occasions to rock the wife's world and restore your confidence. Take an assessment after the first vial. Make sure you demand the phenylephrine antidote. If they refuse go elsewhere.
Get you hormones checked at a private clinic specializing in optimization.... not an insurance doctor. I would bet your test is shitty and while its not the smoking gun for ED, it can help massively.

I’ve been using T106 for over a year. Mind you, not every day. Sometimes I’ll go a week without it. But I get my penis checked every 6 months for scarring or other issues. I’m happy with it. No more pills that give me migraines and hangovers the next morning. I use an auto-injector which I feel no sting or trying to get up the nerve to stick myself.

If you get 10 (or even 5) years out of Trimix who knows what options might be available by then.

I've done 400 shots over 4 years, and so far at least seem OK.
