Title: B cylinder worked! (Hoping improvements will follow)
Post by: Event_Horizon on May 03, 2021, 12:31:36 AM
Just wanted to share a positive message since I've been pretty stressed and often down over the past week or two.

I have been trying to get the B cylinder for the SOMAErect Stf to work for a long while now. Never could get it. My scrotum got caught in the tube.

Today, I worked with the A cylinder, and then I felt better after having a few erections (through self stimulation). They still are frightening. I look at them and it looks like the bottom right of the penis is just missing.

I can't figure out what is causing this, and I'm convinced that photos are deceptive since the camera lens is offset from the center of the phone. Maybe I've measured my curvature incorrectly? Maybe my dent is worse?

BUT! I had a few stronger erections and thought "Maybe I'll try the A again." What was great is that I didn't fit into the A, even with the lube, so I tried B. Instead of my scrotum getting stuck, my penis filled out. Still can see dents :( But now I have a new weapon in this war that has been going on for 9 months.

I have an appointment with Dr. Levine in May. Thank you to the forum members who directed me to him. I'm not near Chicago, but I love traveling and this trip will hopefully signal the end of my pandemic experiences.

I'll finally get my ultrasound and find out if 1) I have ED through a venous leak and 2) if I have Peyronie's scar or just a slow healing wound. I'll take it from there.

My therapist told me, "I sincerely believe that you'll get through all of this, based on everything you have told me and past experience. I believe you'll overcome this." My parents always believed it too. I'm terrified, but if the VED can facilitate my recovery, then I will say that this forum has been one of the greatest findings of my life.

Good to hear from you again man! Glad you got some progress with the VED.

Even more glad that you are getting to Dr. Levine in May! I'm going for a check-up with him in the last week of May. I know you are great at writing, so I am looking forward to reading your detailed write-up on your visit :). Also if you want some tips on how to maximize your visit, let me know!

Hi Event_Horizon.

I understand your situation, I'm suffering of venous leakage also, are you planning surgery soon? I need some guidance on how to tackle the problem, pills don't work in my case :/

Has your indent improved at all since starting VED? I don't have erectile dysfunction, nor do I have any curvature, but I do have a noticeable indent on the right side of my shaft (only visible when erect).

I've had an ultrasound and seen a private andrologist -- both confirmed there is no plaque or scar tissue. The consultant is 99% certain there is fibrosis there, and suggested I use a VED.

I've just finished Week 1 of the VED Protocol on here, but just wondering whether you found success further along the same path I've just started walking.
