Q: What Other Options Are There For Me ? 20's Man

Hello -

i started having erection problems when I was 19.

I am now 29.

Ive seen the doctor countless times for many many tests. And yes, they have proven that I have a problem. After finding a stable gf where sex wasnt so important, I am now single and am getting a little concerned.

As if to be limp is bad, but my penis size is slowly slowly decreasing in size. I use to be confident as anything, but these days im trying to avoid all relationships because of it.

Ive used viagra, but dont like the side effects. Are there any alternatives out there ?

So far heres all the test ive had done.

1st - they did a scan to measure blood flow into the penis. To do this they injected something to give me an erect penis (after 2 attempts ouch). Then kind of used an ultra sound thing.

The urologists said I had leaks in my penis. One option was to "sew" or block these leaks so blood would not flow out. I opted out of this option.


2nd test - I stayed in a special clinic over night for 3 nights. The technician put a measure device around the penis to measure blood flow when I was sleeping. The results proved that not enough blood was going to the tip of my penis. Again the doctor said relax relax. . By this time I was totally fed up.

Any help out there ??

What are some alternatives to viagra ?

:cry:

You can take supplements all you want but unlike most people you have a real physical problem. It can be solved with surgery as your doctor has already told you. It might sound horrible but think about it you can be totally cured. I can't believe you've lived with this for 10 years. Your case is way beyond herbal supplements and the like as those are primarily for ed caused by mental issues.

the surgery is a temporary fix though as leaks will reoccur, and then there will be scarring tissue on ya penis which I really dont want.

Anyway thanks for the reply.

Ohhh rough I had read that venious leaks are curable through surgery but I didn't know they just reacur. Maybe some cases do and some don't. Anyways doesn't matter.
Alternatives to viagra:
levitra
cialis
if you want to try out the herbal route enzyte would probably be your best bet. You'll want to couple that with an l-arginine supplement say 3 grams a day, if you can get l-arginine aplha ketoglutarate that would work better for your purposes. Lastly you might want to throw in some tribulus to raise your libido I know that isn't your problem but I think it will help as it will make your body pump more blood in there. The l-arginine and tribulus are absolutley side effect free ask your doctor about the enzyte however as I do not know much about it. Also if you decide to try the trib only get tribestan from sopharma or tribex those are the only brands I know that are actually made with enough of the active ingredient to have an effect.
The logic is enzyte increases blood flow to your penis and so will the l-arginine and this might be enough to offset the venous leak. Oh one more thing yohimbine is supposed to have the effect of actually reducing blood outflow from the penis while keeping inflow the same. Now I have no idea how effective it is or whether it works or not but it might be something you ask your doctor about (it is a presciption drug).
The only solution I can think of is just to take enough supplements (making sure their safe first) that increase bloodflow to the penis to counteract the excess outflow being caused by the venious leak. I hope this post helped more than my last, if you do decide to try some of this stuff out tell us how it goes.
