anyone had embolization here ? venous leakage

[s7utty]

Hi, as title says basically….

I have venous leakage. got all the symptoms. im 27.
doppler suggested venous leak also in May 2022.
Poor response to 10mcg Alprostadil.

Im going to Paris to dr. Eric Allaire to perform CT cavernosography in order to find and tell how severe is my leak and where is its location. Im not typing about confirming it as I can confirm having it by myself.

Did anyone here HAD embolization done and was happy with outcome ?

I have heard mix of things. That leak can be cured for short time as body will develop new leak (thanks my body, i love you for being such leaky) or that its long lasting solution?

Any opinions thrown here will be appraciate.

If this wont help me im going for implant straight to finally start enjoying sex at 27 years old instead of popping pills and praying for them to work to be able to penetrate for 5 minutes in one position before i go limp.

Regards

It's hard to find good information on it man, my urologist said it might not give me a fully hard erection and that there is less than 50% success rate after 2 years but surely that is a good enough reason to try it instead of committing to the implant. I got my implant and I regret not trying embolization first

wow. whats ur age ? are u happy with implant ? but be honest…

when u decided for implant how old are you and you already were not getting any kind of erections? pills worked at beginning and stopped or they never let you get sustable erection for penetration ? have you had morning wood ? and what EDV you had ?

currently i have edv 15cm/s i can perform without pills but my dick isnt fully erect. this is pleasurable only for me and still not at all. definitely not for girl… i sometimes feel like im jacking off myself using her vagoo. pills just help to maintain good quality for additional maybe 3 minutes so im not using em.

I'm 30, 80% of my sexual life Ive had to use pills, never got morning wood. Pills stopped working last year, don't know why your against using pills. I had no negative effects from them and they worked great until they stopped. Doppler and cavernosogram both showed a leak. Got my implant 7 weeks ago, I just got back from my first fuck using it. I got an escort, never had one before but thought it was a good way to build confidence with it, masturbating at home Ive kinda struggled to orgasm unless I really try for it but today I nearly cummed quickly from.the blowjob I said we should fuck and then I came after a few minutes which was great, I deflated abit then to seem natural. I said give me a minute and we will go again, she said ok but we will see if your dick works, I said I can promise you it will. She sucked me abit and I pumped it up while it was in her mouth and then we fucked again but had to stop cos she said my dick was too big and hard. She gave me a hand job and played with my balls which means she would clearly have felt the hard plastic pump and valve in my sack but she didn't say anything, maybe it was cos she was an escort, I'm sure a regular girl would make some comment when feeling it. Maybe I should pump slightly less or maybe it was because she was small and I have a big dick, either way it was an enjoyable experience. I really hate that I have had to get an implant and hate that I ever had venous leak but I think for what it is I might have as good a result of an implant as you can get

u performed both doppler and cavernosogram after the time when pills already stopped working ? or you started pills after diagnose ? how long have you used them ? this situation with escort sounds very weird to be honest :/ i cant imagine what you have felt.

Got the Doppler and cavernosogram last year when the pills stopped working. I'd been to different GPs several times over the years with my ED, they all did blood work which always came back normal and told me it was in my head, a very fit young guy of course they would think that. It wasn't until the pills stopped working that I was then referred to a urologist who did the Doppler and then a radiologist did the cavernosogram

As I thought - pills stopped working, then exams.
Well I guess Im fucked then too. I will need to get implant too.
Do you maybe know what values of EDV you had on doppler ? And what was response to injection? zero erection at all, partial erection, almost full, angry boner that lasted ?
Thats so fucked up the pump is in balls.

I now have such bizarre situations with erections that let's say at 5 pm I want to jerk off and nothing, I have to push on a slightly larger but soft dick. All of a sudden 2 hours later I can have a pretty decent erection and I'll come too. In the morning, I wake up with an erection that arises by itself, unlike those two previous ones, and lasts a few minutes only to get up an hour later, when I want to jerk off, the penis is completely turned off again. I don't know if you also had such situations after the diagnosis, but from what I hear you say that you have never had morning erections. It's all terribly fucked up. Well, I'll see in May what cavernozography will say, but it won't surprise me with anything.....

When the pills stopped working they would still give me a slight chubby but I mean about a 4/10 erection at best and that would flop if I wasn't tensing my pelvic floor to push blood into it. In the Doppler test the injection didn't work at all really it just gave me a chub but he could still see there was signs of a leak even with it being flaccid. In the cavernosogram the injection made me very hard, almost painfully hard, he put the ink in the vein to check for a leak and could see it leaking out and said yeah that's.not supposed to happen. If I was you and the pills are still working for you I would still try the embolization before thinking of the implant

Disagree. Long term data is not promising for embolization:

In case of positively confirmed venous-occlusive dysfunction including its morphological demonstration on CT cavernosography, the treatment strategy is occlusion of venous leaks (Box 3). Surgical therapy consists of deep dorsal vein ligation and additional ligation of potential collaterals. However, surgical treatment is rather invasive and usually needs to be performed in an operation room under general anesthesia. Not very encouraging, long-term success rates of surgical ligation of the deep dorsal vein and its collaterals are reported to be ~ 25%

What exactly are you disagreeing with

Just because it's not a long term solution doesn't mean it can't be a legitimate and successful solution in the short term
