The Doppler Ultrasound Diagnostic Test

[defiant]

Hello,

I have posted both in the young persons thread, specifically the Dr Gerwin sclerotherapy thread and also the General Discussion thread just to introduce myself.

I am a UK resident and therefore have access to NHS urologists.

I have had 2 ultrasounds with an NHS uro, one with phentolomine and one without. Both showed + outflow indicating 'minor venous leak'.

Unsatisfied with this rather general diagnosis, I went to a private sexual medicine team based on Harley St, London, where the majority of the top specialists are located.

I had another ultrasound, same scan, same injections, just this time performed by a specialist who looks for erectile dysfunction issues.

This scan differed from NHS scans. I was told to massage the penis generously after the injection so as to spread the active ingredient. I was not told to do this at the NHS hospitals.

Furthermore, even though I was not told to, I touched my penis intermittently during the scan thus stimulating myself.

To this day, I don't know if this invalidates the test. I was told no, it does not, in fact, it is desirable, that that is what sex is all about, stimulation.

The results this time: no VL found. Huge inflow numbers, negative outflow.

The exact opposite to the NHS scans.

So, who do I trust?!

The Harley St clinic attribute my ED to a paralysing psychogenic factor that is so deep-seated in my psyche that it has entrenched itself in my belief system.

Still, I get no morning wood. Virtually never.

Masturbation requires constant stimulation or I lose it in 10 seconds. (Important to point out that all I do during this is THINK about my own performance)

10mg Cialis helps me to perform like a rockstar. Taking this for 5+ years now. Very minor tolerance noted, probably more psychogenic.


My main query is: HOW CAN I TRULY TELL ONCE AND FOR ALL IF THIS IS PHYSICAL OR PURELY MENTAL?! My gut says physical. No morning wood says physical.

So why the good ultrasound result with the specialists???


So confused.

I've gone to go'vt clinics a few times and have know many who only go to them but I find private clinics give a better level of care and service. Might be because their reputation is at stake and the liability is theirs if they screw up. The V.A. here in the states is a perfect example of crappy service. I am surprised my veteran friends are alive considering all the things they get wrong or screw up. If they were not tough, they probably would be dead.

I had an ultrasound that verified that a venous leak is responsible for my ED. However, I do occasionally get morning wood, which supposedly means there is no physical reason for my ED, but I found a site at Cornell University that said that just because you get morning wood does not mean that it's psychological.

I am in the US. Private care. Highly regarded Dr.
I had the Doppler done now 3 times.
1st time the guy was supposed to be a renowned expert at it.
He found nothing. Told me everything was good.
Even said it something like very good.
Nothing to worry about. Had to see Dr for results.
Went back to Dr, told me it was good.
Had it done same way by 2 other Urolgist.
Not long after. They both found the Venus leakage.
1 vein basically gone. Other supposedly looks good.

I stil get morning wood often. I get afternoon wood sometimes.
If I try to take matters into my own hands takes long time.
Not hard enough or last long enough.

Good luck

Well i think I understand what you going through
Same thing here
Just i didnt see doc for check up
Because i dont have health insurance
And no money to spend on private doc
tell me do you have premature ejaculation?
If you have first problem with premature ejaculation
Then later problem with erection
It indicate that you have first problem with anxiety
And later you develop depression
Im not doc so maybe im wrong about that
But if you go to doctor
You have to tell him how you feel
Your mind not just your body
It is you who need help so dont be shy to tell him how you feel
Also ask your siblings father did he have problem with that
It not something that people should neglect
Inheritance is big thing in life
I find out that my father have same problem
Like i have
But he married young and have time to
Produce two children
Im 38 now and im stuck like probably he was
In his age
Anyway dont let your young mind go crazy
About your situation because today medicine can
Help you
And tomorrow will bring these problem
