Seems like one of the more common ED causes is venous leakage. Even if you get increased inflow. The outflow (leak) keeps inceasing with time. Much like most of the other ED treatments. Pills & shots, the leakage eventually overcomes their effect.
In my mind, why deal with another temporary treatment. Any gains from it might take away from the length of time that pills work. For basically a no net gain of treatment time overall.
I've read of several members over on the implant forum. They all reported no help from the treament.
The lack of any effective treatment for VL is quite honestly mind boggling.
Why is it so hard to remove/plug faulty veins? It's not like we're trying to grow a new organ.
The term venous leak is synonymous with the term CVOD. Corporeal veno-occlusive dysfunction. CVOD encompasses many different causation's of erectile dysfunction, so much so, we may as well just call it erectile dysfunction. I have described much of this in previous posts.
It is not just the issue of faulty veins as this is most likely one of the least likely causes of CVOD. Smooth muscle loss, NOS and ENOS dysfunction, arterial dysfunction, collagen deposition, failures with regard to the tunica albuginea, neurological dysfunctions and pelvic floor issues are the more likely culprits here. It can be a complex combination of these factors and more that bring about a particular individuals issues with erectile function if CVOD is suspected. We are still learning and researching about all of the above and how we can possibly treat them.
Growing a new organ would for some be a great option as reversing the damage caused by years of aging or bad lifestyle, will always be an incredibly difficult thing to do.
