Well, I had my urologist visit today and I feel great after hearing my second opinion.
The urologist as my second opinion was incredible, she was very receptive to my questions (yes I brought my write-up to her :) ), she was extremely informative (even drew pictures for me and diagrammed out all of the mechanics of how I work).
Upon consultation and examination she determined that I had torn the connective tissue on the left sift that holds together the three cylinders that make up my groin. She claimed that since the damage was nerve related that the entire healing process of the injury is extremely long: 6-18 months. This is because nerve related injuries take VERY long to heal, she expressed that nerves grow roughly 1mm per year, that’s the size of a tip of a pen!
She said that I have a very good chance to make nearly a full recovery (98-99%) in 6 to 18 months time based on how my body heals; according to her the healing process is very different from individual to individual. She also stated that taking ED related medication can assist the recovery process by cycling the blood in my groin, increasing the oxygen exchange to assist tissue regeneration; she gave me a sample of Levitra (I plan on waiting to use it until I am with my partner later in this week).
Here’s the thing that really shocked and relieved the hell out of me:
She stated that for my specific injury, sexual activity doesn’t even impair, slow down, or halt the recovery process at all so long as it’s tame in nature. She actually discussed how sexual activity can help to promote my recovery since it encourages blood flow and an exchange of oxygen.
It brought quite a smile to my face when she had told me:
“Well, it can assist your recovery but I’m not exactly prescribing or writing down on a note that you need to be having alot of sex, but you understand where I’m coming from”
It was the sort of smile that put me in probably the best mood I have ever been in; this experience has been truly eye-opening.
