Artery causing inflow

[SCOOTER12]

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone on here has or has ever heard (verified) of anyone having inflow issues that was resolved by a stent?

I have inflow issues so logically it would be an issue with my arteries. I’m guessing the pudendal artery. I have yet to confirm this.

I read a study that was done where a stent was able to give patients “significant improvement” in their erectile function.

I am actually surprised that there are very few Urologists who are aware of the role of a rather cheap, generic blood thinner can have on improving ED. The whole notion of inserting a stent in the artery feeding the penis is very interesting and there seems to be little information on the topic. I am a past cardiac by-pass patient and for the past 7 or so years have been taking a blood thinner primarily prescribed for PAD. (Peripheral artery disease) I was originally prescribed it to help resolve 2 small nodules in my penis as a result of Trimix injections. ( The medication improves blood flow which aids in healing penile tissue) The nodules resolved and I still inject Trimix to this day and have had no other problems since. The urologist who prescribed Pentoxifylene moved his practice out of my state so upon going to another urologist and he had no idea of the benefits Pentox can have on ED. I showed him several studies on how Pentox helped patients with ED. He relented and continues to prescribe it today. When I was off the Pentox for a month or 2 before convincing my new URO to prescribe the Pentox, there was a noticeable difference without it. If you Google Pentoxifylene and ED, numerous studies will surface. I have attached a link to just one. It may be an avenue to explore before attempting insertion of a stent...which BTW I think you would be hard pressed to find a doctor who performs such a procedure.. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8777618/

I have never had a stent, but it seems like an easy procedure, so I don’t see why it would be outside of normal practice.

Interesting about the blood thinners. If you are still needing Trimix, I wouldn’t consider blood thinners as worth taking.
Good info. Thanks.
