Would you please describe:
-how it was discovered
-how it was diagnosed
-how it was treated
-your condition now after treatment
Thanks
my personal opinion is that something else caused my venous leakage.....i had nerve sparing RP in Mar 2015. to date no erection (or maybe a little sometimes). pills so nothing. started injecting in May 2015. started with bimix, then moved to trimix. have tested 3-4 different strengths. none really give me the boner i want. too much PGE1 gives me the penile ache. anyway, i also started VED therapy per my doctor in April 2015. did it every day, 2 times per day for a year. moved to 1 time per day, now only 3-4 per week. my venous leak seems to have started after surgery. i did not have any issues period prior to surgery although i did take Viagra 50mg to boost. i think the VED increases the risk of venous leak. doctors say it doesn't. my thoughts are this: if you are using vacuum to pull blood in, then all veins and arteries are engorged. seems to me that the VED did it.
to answer your questions:
-how it was discovered - i asked my uro about doing the Doppler test even though she said i probably do have a leak but there is nothing that can be done.
-how it was diagnosed - Doppler test. showed slightly below minimum for arterial flow, and slightly elevated flow for venous.
-how it was treated - no treatment......when injections stop working to my satisfaction, then it implant time.
