Is this conventional ED?

[Trav8701]

You know, I often wonder if my symptoms are so rare and it never occurred to me to just ask… but, before implantation did anyone else experienced a drastically reduced ability to kegel? I can kegel but before ED I could even make my flaccid jump…that’s no longer the case. It also feels kinda hollow down there sometimes. My flaccid is also shriveled and more hard too. I know that this is typical of “hard flaccid” and jelq injuries but what are these also common ED symptoms in general? Also, if you had these symptoms but are now implanted, are you satisfied with your decision?

Note: I also have decreased erotic sensation but I already made a thread asking about that… but you can factor that symptom into your response too.

ask your doctor for an MRI of your whole spine. any impingement anywhere along the spinal column can cause muscle weakness/sensory problems.

2 spinal MRIs already, clean

But are my symptoms unconventional?

not sure what you mean by conventional ED. with any complex system, dysfunction of any component can lead to failure. several etiologies can be described such as venous leak, or vascular insufficiency. there is a large psychological component to it as well. take a break for a couple of weeks where you don't have this as the main thing on your mind, and stop 'checking'. then with a clear head then reassess

Trav8701, I'm not sure that there are many "textbook" cases. Each man has his own set of syptoms. Sure, there are some signs that are pretty universal amongst men.
I would say that your best path is to search out a competent urologist. One that provides all of the generally accepted treatments. Yes, this means that you have to find a doctor that either does implants or realizes that they are a valid treatment option. Be honest with him/her with your symptoms & answers. They are not mind readers. This type of doctor will give you the best chance at a correct diagnosis. Be sure to get any medicines from a licensed pharmacy. Not some mail order place in a far away country.
