Hi everyone
Since I was a kid I've been dealing with ED, all of my symptoms pointed towards a somewhat manageable venous leak. The symptoms were classic, no morning wood, loss of erection during intercourse, especially when a girl in on top. Over the years Viagra, Cialis helped, but I've still had issues getting and keeping it up. After years of struggling with this and accepting it as Venous Leak due to a previous urologists diagnosis, I decided to go in for a doppler test and make peace with the fact that an implant was most likely my next step.
Today during the doppler it appears that I don't have a Venous leak at all, in fact after they injected me with the medicine to smooth my muscles I never lost my erection one bit. The urologist said I had great blood flow in and everything from a plumbing perspective looked great. He believes that I'm getting too much adrenaline in my penis, which in turn is preventing my penis muscle from becoming smooth and gaining/maintaining an erection. I've been prescribed Terazosin, which he believes will cure me. Doing some quick googling and it appears that Terazosin is excellent for hypertension or an enlarged prostate, however one of the side effects is erectile dysfunction.
Does anyone have a similar situation or know if this is the correct path? In terms of my health, I'm not overweight, I don't smoke, my blood pressure is normal 140/72, no enlarged prostate, and I don't get anxious from sex.

Sorry, but I have no experience with terazosin but if the uro recommended it, I would give it a try. what do you have to lose.
Since you had such a good response from the shot used for your Doppler test, you should react well to Trimix injections if the terazosin doesn't work.

I tale uroxatal and its in the same fa, ily as the meds you are taking. My meds sude effect are ED amd prolonged erections. How one med cam guve you two totally different responses is beyond me. I habe never had either issue,...with that being said, I cam definitely tell if I miss my daily dose. I wad told my med was to keep things flowing freely within my penis and out of it too. Take the meds,..if you notice a decline in what function you have now then stop it...but what if the Doctor is correct....think how great that would be...... you will know if there is a difference either way. BTW..just curious. ? How old are you..me I am 53 and been taking this meds for years. My Doctor started me on it after a long drawn out problrm with kidney stones. ?.like I said to keep things open and flowing. I pray all this works out great for you.

We shall see, I'm not sure if I can handle giving myself shots,I think at that point I'd just go the implant route. I'm 34 and literally have been battling this my entire life.

Re: ED Guidance needed - Unsure on next steps/diagnosis
My situation is an exact copy of yours. Went to take the Doppler to finally confirm VL but everything, as you say, was great. I went to a leading ED expert in Europe and he told me that the cause of my difficulties cannot be explained by the current knowledge of erectile dysfunction. It can be anything from neurogenic to anatomical cause since birth or after. Everything beyond the common causes of ED are poorly, if at all, understood. He recommended continuing on ED meds.
I have been reading everything possible but never come across the theory of your doc about adrenaline. I guess it makes some sense but I am quite doubtful. In any case I would expect you to storm into the closest pharmacy and see if it works, and be sure you come to report it here.
To the guy who wrote herbs cured his ED, well good for you but nobody with anything worse than occasional mild ED is going to cure it with herbs & diet. Viagra is +1000x more powerful than any herb and if it fails then we are talking about quite moderate ED that has an organic cause beyond just poor lifestyle which me nor the op do not have anyway.

An implant should be your last choice as natural erectile tissue is permanently destroyed when the implant is inserted in the penis.

From Miro 30 your wrote, To the guy who wrote herbs cured his ED, well good for you but nobody with anything worse than occasional mild ED is going to cure it with herbs & diet.

So Miro 30 you a man of little faith then, all Viagra does is relax your veins to allow your crappy blood to flow better, where my blood is now clean and runs very well, as my last blood works verified, to get good erection you need really good blood, so my way out of full blown ED was to work that way.
See Miro 30 Viagra does not work for everyone it gave me some very bad side effects, but with Viagra you need to take a pill top have sex where as can have sex when ever I want, I get woke up in the night with rock hard erections and wake up with morning woods that can knock my wife out of bed, these Viagra will never do to you.
See Miro 30 I would sooner put my trust in herbs and a hormone, than drugs, but then all your drugs are derived from herbs, roots, leaves, flowers and bark, and yes sorry chuck in a whole load of minerals.
See Miro 30 Just because these are not given out by some doctor, does mean they don't work, try like me, doing some research, your find there is a whole load of stuff out there, its all down to getting a mix right and not relying on one thing that will do it for anyone if the try it, as on here some guys saying yes tried this or that, but never together.
One last thing Miro 30 ever had a women say your not very good are you before all your problems come on, when you could get erections, then yours is just pure and simple Performance Anxiety, this puts a block in your brain and your get no more natural erections.

Well like you say it's more about believing than science, pseudoscience at best. I don't argue that natural methods can't improve mild ED or performance anxiety simply by placebo effect but otherwise they are no good. Besides our issue is not crappy blood flow but something likely to be interfering with nerve impulses for whatever reason.

Miro Get your blood working as it should the see what Happens, but please do read what above post of mine as its written and don't try to put your own stupid ideas in it, ED affects us all in different ways mine was full blown and not as you say mild.
Seems you only want a 1000$ and hour euro, great go pay him to do what, seems no one can help because yours is so different to anybody else's, in that case why you here, as yours is so superior to just our common ED, perhaps you should start your own site just for guys like you, to some of us your just an ED snob.
It does not pay you anything to put down how some of us have self cured there ED.
