So i can get erections but sometimes they are hard too hold. Im guessing my artery is clogged or i have a venous leak. Does anyone know how long it will take to unclog that artery?
Is it possible i have a venous leak?
Can men with venous leaks not get erections at all?
From my own experience:
Both overall cardiac health and artery health are contributing factors to erection quality.
As a result of my own mild ED issues, I visited a wholistic health center In Sept 2016 for a carotid artery scan. This is the artery in the neck, and basically a sonogram of it. Any amount of plaque buildup in the artery is visible and measurable.
So, the thinking is that if there is plaque buildup (probably from decades of eating American crapfood), that ED is a potential symptom. Not the first or only symptom, but probable connection.
At that time, the results of my scan suggested I better take evasive maneuvers. So, I've been working with a nutritionist for 14 months on this specific topic, following an explicit regimen. Every body is different, and my nutritionist did a series of blood and DNA tests to better understand how my body uptakes (or not) nutrition. Then we made the plan that I've been on ever since.
a) Don't follow my, or anybody else's plan. Your body is different. Work with a professional.
b) It's been 14 months as I said and we have not retested yet. Clearly this takes time and you should be prepared for the long haul.
In the mean time, I've been using this cock ring with superior results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GYHISDS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The best thing about this:
- It's soft silicone and flexible
- Easy on, easy off
- It's wide so it doesn't feel like it is cutting your dick off
- It provides just enough constriction. It's just right.
Really, I just can't say enough about it. Frankly, even as we make progress on my arteries I may just keep using the thing. I like it a lot.
Nice find, thank you ;)
Thanks for the link, will give it a try.
Cheeznips, a simple google search of veanous leak will answer your question. Yes people with veanous leak CAN get erections, depends on severity. It is typically hard to maintain and often depends on the position you are in. You are here for Peyronie's and of ED onset was following Peyronie's, the most likely cause is veanous leak caused by fibrosis and inflammation. No one wants to admit it, sometimes ultrasounds don't even show mild leaks, but there are few alternatives.
I second DN's post!
yeah, i took a Doppler ultrasound but the results came back fine, but im losing my erections. like, i can get them but after a couple of minuets il lose them. i can't tell if its because of the numbness of the nerves or if i have a venous leak.

The ultrasound was made with erected penis?
James
cheeznips: again.... you know what you have? ED from using propecia. But you struggle to understand that. Also, the ultrasound results you posted, show that it was done with the penis flaccid. And thats good for nothing. It has to be erect. Also... try reading first, and researching your condition and what you can do in terms of erection problems. Stop posting bogus stuff like this that will get you no where.
Propecia...damn the word on this needs to get out! And the resultant ED can be non reversible? Hopefully, a cock ring helps out. I just received the silicone rings mentioned above and they are super comfortable and helpful in maintaining an erection. I hear the vibrating cock rings might be therapeutic as well. FDA approved a device called Viberect (sp) but expensive. I'll try the vibrating cock ring first.
ADMIN: Please resist the urge to close this thread. The topic isn't the problem.
Pfract: Dude. Take a chill pill and back off. If you take the time to actually read the thread, you'll see that you are misinformed.
Cheezenips: As I stated, the scan was of the carotid artery (which is not even remotely close to one's dick). And, as I mentioned, it's been over a year since I last had mine scanned. I spoke with my nutritionist yesterday and we've scheduled another CAROTID ARTERY scan for next week. I'll have the results in early January.
The reasons we're doing the carotid scan: 1) I am concerned about my overall circulatory system health after bad eating habits, 2) Over decades, the effects of bad eating habits can play a role in blood flow to the dick. So, it stands to reason, if one can make any progress in reversing the destruction of bad diet, one might benefit from better flow to the dick. We'll see.
Hey Johnw: I am chilled enough, it's just that I don't know if you caught his other post. He wrote that he took propecia for some time and then started having the ''issues everybody has'' after being on that devilish medication. Yet, even after I showed him a video about his condition from America's #1 doctor on sexual medicine, on this exact medication/condition he refuses to acknowledge and posts things like this in denial. This is what gets to me.
First, the Administrator will not close this topic, I am sure about it :)
Second, all of us need to chill sometimes, I am doing that with a cold beer while watching the sunset 8)
Regarding Propecia/Finasteride:
* Supposed to shrink enlarged prostate - didn't done it for me
* Triggering hear growth - done it for me, I started to grow thick black hair everywhere on my body, never had black hair before
* Triggered severe ED
If someone want to have sever ED, the best way, or one of the best ways is to take Finasteride :)
James
The med needs a black box warning!
Need to make some change to the forum that each time the word Propecia or Finasteride appears, a few devil heads should appear before and after the word :)
I don't know how to do that.
But as we all know, some forum members registered improvement in erection using the med.
Or maybe someone want to increase the sales of the med?
James
I have never taken propecia idk what pfact is talking about. I tried having sex with my gf yesterday and the first time was fine but the second and third time was a no go i couldnt get an erection and its been causing me alot of mental stress. Iv been having this pain in my penis like constantly idk if its the early stages of peyronies but maybe this pain is causing my e.d. also every since my last injury it literally feels like my nerves are dead on my penis.
Will the Propecia or Finasteride hijackers give it a rest? Go start your own thread!
Cheezenips -- Based on the info contained in your other thread, you clearly have a situation of growing complexity. This if far less about clogged arteries, maybe not at all. The mental stress you've acquired is a complicating factor. Dealing with the mental is something you can do, and it will help you sort through other details. Get your priorities right.
First time was fine? How long are you waiting between sessions?
