Very interesting article. Thank you.
It was good to see a simple but clear explanation of what a venous leak is with regard to CVOD. What a venous leak actually is can be misunderstood.

"Vasculogenic etiologies include either arteriogenic or venogenic causes. Venogenic erectile dysfunction is due to veno-occlusive disease, also called “venous leak,” with incomplete relaxation of corporeal smooth muscle during arterial inflow and insufficient occlusion of venous outflow tracts. Dean et al. report that veno-occlusive disease may be due to multiple factors such as degenerative changes or injury of tunica albuginea, impaired relaxation of corporeal smooth muscles, venous shunting, and excessive adrenergic tone in anxious individuals"

It was good to read that adrenergic tone was included. Increased adrenergic tone is also a part of aging and therefore plays a part in CVOD, or the development of CVOD.
