Night time erections

[rbrown]

"They say" (a great deal of on line information) that one test of ED is to test night time erections. I was tested with a Rigiscan by my urologist. Supposedly, if one gets night time erections the Ed is more psychological than physical. Well, my Rigiscan showed I do get nighttime erections. However, my urologist just treated the physical issues--low-T, veinous leak, poor blood flow to penis, and this definitely helped. My question is--is it a myth that someone getting nighttime erections has mostly psychological causes of their ED? By the way, after treatment (pills, testosterone gel, injections, exercise) I definetly notice morning and nighttime erections more!!

Sounds similar to the road I went down.

Short version.
Did the same test 2X.
They said the same thing. I was getting stiff in morning and night. Not that much anymore, 20 yrs later.
They thought it might be in my head. At the time I was working major hrs. Stress was not bad. My diet was bad. After years and my diet got better. I cut back on greasy foods,salt sugar. Cholesterol was high. Cholesterol pills give me side effects.

Pills came along. They did not work.

I talked to shrink. She did not think that was my problem.
I was borderline low T. Tried replacement therapy injection a few times. Did not help.
Did the Doppler. Came back good.

Went to see a sex therapist for consultation. She is a well known shrink with a few degrees.
She was shocked that injections did not work. Told me to see other URO.

Did another Doppler and they found clogged/damaged artery.

Over the 20 years I have lost count on the URO, I have seen and blood tests I have taken.
I go to city. Some of best Drs in NYC. Took 20 yrs.

Think lot of URO or Md just do not specialize in it. They are guessing, hit and miss.
Good luck.

Well, Jamebond, it is good to know I am in good company! I do agree-many uros are not expert in Ed, and many want to prescribe pills or injections. I went to several with disappointing results. I also think Ed is more complex than "either physical or mental"--could be a comb...and the same doctors are not expert in both. I now do get better nighttime erections, taking daily Cialis and doing injections and also testosterone gel...but that just shows it was NOT "in my head"--even though Rigiscan said it was (assuming getting nighttime erections means it is in your head!!). How do we debunk the myth that getting night time erections means it is "in your head"?

Hi RB and JB, so first are you on any kind of drugs for anything long term?, for us to get really good erection we need really good blood and drug free blood, going on testosterone gel is not a very good thing to do as this shuts down your own testosterone making equipment, and if its for a long time then its shut down for good, its a side effect doctors don't tell you of.

Getting night time erections is a very good sign things are working right, now if your backing that up with morning woods then its even better, so the thing is now were do we go, well as you can find on FT I'm one of the lucky guys who has beat ED, I got over it, now what works for me could work for you, all you have to do is trail it for 12 weeks, but it will clean up your blood as most of what I take is all for our blood, and all very simple stuff, I have posts on site, just google the titles and give it a go its all free.
DRUGS VERSUS HERBS, HERBS MY CHOICE.

This last just gives info to how I got to them, its all petty simple when you start reading these, but it was all down to research and finding them, its all like a jigsaw, but its working for me, your see I wear a cockring, its a myhardwear ice, and they can be warn 24/7, and it does work, and its not a cheap one, and guys you really do need to be shaved to wear one, that way there so easy to get on and off.

So your call guys.

Good Luck
