Welcome to the gym. You are going to have to give us a lot more information before any advice can be given.

What caused your ED 17 years ago?
Physical damage?
Urinary issues?
Weight?
Blood sugar?
Blood pressure?

The more you tell us, the more we can help.

If the surgery was medically sound I would think you could get it without having to fly to Taiwan, and saying you have had ED for 17 years does not tell us much. What type, mental or physical. how many doctors have you seen, is it diagnosed or are you playing Dr. on the net. I have no advice because you have given just about zero information.

Here is a brief summary of vein ligation, the most common ED surgeries - Venous surgery in erectile dysfunction. The role of... [Urol Int. 1992] - PubMed - NCBI

Doesn't sound like it is all that promising. I have read a number of articles reporting that even if the surgery is successful in the short term, the problem often reoccurs several years later.


Have you explored the use of a VED, PEG1/Trimix injections, or an implant? If not, I recommend you check out franktalk.org, an ED support group.
