Ukguy....

Keep seeing drs! In the UK it doesnt cost you anything to see a Dr right?

If this is as big of a issue to you as you say it is, I dont know why you dont continue to pester drs to get answers...

Edit; even if it is physical, there are surgeries, and even implants... You are far from screwed, unless you stop trying to get answers.

Get a number on your next T test ,low normal seems to be a problem for some guys and others function well on it. So if it is low end normal you could be a guy that needs more test.

I was 280 (still normal) but TRT helped me.

You're right I will see my doctor again. I'm going away for a few days but I'll set up an appointment when I get back. I honestly think I'm screwed it's been nearly 7 years now since this all happened the hard feeling in my penis when flacid is depressing and it's constant nothing seems to soften it so I think my penis is permamantly damaged. The erectile tissue is likely scarred. I have read that stretching the penis too hard can result in serious damage god why didn't I see sense before? but I have to live with the consequences I guess it's just devestating that I basically runied my dick from stretching my penis a little too hard that is all it took to fuck my penis up for good. What I find strange though is sometimes my penis when flacid feels more softer to touch and squeese like I can't feel the usual tough hard feeling inside my flacid dick weird.

I guess I have to face up to the reality that my dick probably won't be able to function like It could before when I see the uroligist next time I'm going to ask him about penile implants but I really think that's where I'm heading. Believe me getting a penile implant is the last thing in the world I want (especially because you often lose size after getting one done and I'm small enough already I'm barely 5" erect) but I think the damage I did to my penis is severe enough that I need one If I want to have sex sucessfully.

I agree with Hot Rod's reply to the OP. You are too obsessed with your dick man. Thats the simplest way I can put it. You are too self aware. It shows in the way you call your erections pathetic and stuff. There is an almost defeatist vibe coming from you. Like you have already given up. I see you are also laying some good amount of blame on some experience that happened 10 years ago. This then gives you the "excuse" that you are looking for. Yours is a situation that is common when men let anxiety and mental issues last so long that they end up becoming impotent for real. If I had more knowledge about your way of life maybe I could help you. But since I dont know much, all I can say is think positive for starters. Everything will follow after that. You are too negative right now.

Ukguy, I feel for you, but honestly, 5 inches isnt pathetic, isnt the average 3 to 6 inches?

After a visit from my uro yesterday, I had to face the facts too... Implant, or keep using the cialis.

Since I can get a decent ( say 7 out of 10 ) erection, and there is still quite a bit of hope that the scarring and blood flow will continue to improve, I opted to keep going with the cialis.

It does suck, it really does.

Get a referal to a sex therapist from one of your drs. After 1 visit, he really shed a lot of light on my situation, about how its really not that bad... I was the last person to believe it could help, but it does.

UKGuy, your problem is psychological.

I'm not saying some of this isn't mental but the main erection issues are surely physical. I remember very clearly when it all started I injured my dick doing PE years ago (and likely doing it wrong obviously) the first thing that happened is while jelqing I lost my erection and then after the glans wouldn't engorge fully or properly but I had no trouble keeping an erection. However I did some stretches and I thought I was doing them safely but again my dick shrunk up (like really) small and went hard like it didn't have much blood flow, it wouldn't go back to normal until an hour or so later that just about scared me half to death and since that happened my erections haven't been as strong, they've hard to maintain and my flacid penis often feels tough/firm and not inflexible (but sometimes feels softer) anyway I swore after this happened I would never try PE due to my own stupidly and I haven't since I was 21 (I'm 26 now). I know I'm an idiot that goes without saying but all I care about is my dick working properly again that's all I don't care about wanting a bigger dick anymore thinking that way is what got me into this mess in the first place.

I'm pretty sure before I injured my dick I was "6 erect but it's about "5 now probably because the glans won't fully enlarge so yeah I'm guess I'm average.

I guess I have been jumping the gun a bit saying I need a penile implant I don't think my dick is that sereverly messed up because I can get an erection it's just quite weak, it goes quickly without hand stimlation and the glans won't fully inflate and keep blood in the head. If I was in need of an implant I would barely be able to get any sort of erection period by hand, watching porn, taking Viagra or shots etc.

dsfan your recent posts give me some hope I can reverse my ED (somewhat) I have read and heard stories from others that daily use of Viagra or Cialus can cure ED and result in permamant blood flow improvement after 6 months to a year. I'm not sure If I have scar tissue in my penis though it just feels firm flacid but I feel no lumps or anything or pain. Somtimes my flacid penis is much softer to squeese and touch like the hardness is gone which is wierd so I'm not totally convinced I have scar tissue in my dick but when I see the doctor/urologist soon I'll ask them about this.

I think you need to have your testosterone levels checked as well as thyroid. Low levels of these hormones cause ED and depression.

[magnito Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close magnito]

What causes big level of testosterone and thyroid? Which food, gym? Jogging? Death metal music? Lol. Im just asking.

UKGuy, hey, i'm sure you've posted on a couple of threads I put out there. First off, where abouts are you from? I'm in London.

Now I'm no urologist but I do know for a fact that ED used to be viewed as something mainly in people's head but it's a fact that a physical cause is behind most cases of ED. The evidence is out there for everyone to read. It's on the NHS website etc etc. In most cases it's just poor general health such as high levels of testoserone, drug and alcohol abuse and so on. But often, there are guys who for whatever reason, just have a malfunctioning penis.

Now I'm not fully aware of what tests you've had done apart from the testosterone test. But if you haven't had an ultrasound to check the blood flow and vascular state of your johnson then you need to get that booked asap! There are ways of identifying scientifically what it is that is wrong with you physically, if anything! It sounds like you're guessing a hell of a lot and that's the worst. I bet you're on here a lot, on other sites as well, looking for symptoms that match yours etc but you have to stop that and place your trust in the docs. We have a seriously great service here, the NHS is free and no matter what people say, we're privalaged! Try and get an ultrasound done. I had this and as you probably know, they unfortunately diagnosed me with mild venous leak. But it's okay! I still have sex all the time. And I even tried Cialis this week and it's actually helped me maintain my erection for a long time instead of usually losing it after 10 - 20 seconds.

You're not screwed! You are suffering mentally though and understandably so. Any ED problem will automatically induce mental difficulty. You will shy away from sex and everything associated because you feel like there's no point. I saw someone say you should try and find a girl. That is a great idea! Don't shut out women. They're so amazing.

First things first though. Get your willy scanned!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi LukeC I live near London also.

I was away for nearly week and tried not to think too much about my ED and I know things could be worse I could be totally impotent and I'm grateful I'm not. I got some decent erections recently (probably because I did some Kegels) and it was close to how it was before so I realize my erection troubles are not that bad, but still I do have some sort of physical problem with my penis that I want to sort out. What I do know is Kegels give me a pretty solid erection but the glans still don't fill up properly or hold blood in well but If I can just get my dick to stay hard on it's own without it deflating quickly I'll be happy that's all I care about now just getting my penis to work like before (or close to).

You're right as well I am here a lot and reading online about Venous Leakage, Penile Fibrosis etc and it's pretty depressing and I do have the tendacy to assume I have the worst type problem or dicease in this case ED but I guess I would say I have mild-moderate ED.

I'm trying to be positive now I did something stupid many years ago trying to enlarge my penis due to my insecurities which may of caused some form of long term damage to my penis by either jelqing or stretching incorrectly. I will no longer complain about my ED I made a mess of this so I have to sort it out I will try and get an ultrasound done and get some proper answers and see what the best options are for me If I need to take Viagra or Cialus for a while or a cock ring I can live with that, I will do everything I can to avoid a penile implant but if it turns out I have no choice but to get one to have sex sucessfully then I just need to accept the situation and get one done because I am in my late 20's now and I am still yet to have sex I would rather have a somewhat fake erection than remaining limp forever and never being able to sex. Obviously though I'm really hoping it won't come to that. I'm hoping that by improving blood flow to my penis over a cetain amount of time it will fix my ED.

Cheers

Is Venous Leakage a myth? (over diagnosed ED)

I thought about doing this topic recently as it seems so many guys have Venous Leakage and sure they have it (hey I have believed I had it too and sometimes I still do) but I want to explain to you why it may be more rare than you think.

So basically roughly 7 years ago I tried to do PE (jelqing, penile stretches etc) and I had some pretty bad experiences with jelqing and stretches of course it's entirely my fault I either did these exercises with slightly too much force, too erect etc basically I did them wrong somehow. After jelqing one time I lost my erection and the glans after didn't engorge fully or very well and they would deflate quickly. Then I had another incident when stretching my flacid penis it shrunk up really small (like how it looks and feels after you get out of the sea or swimming pool), it was real hard and turlted up almost as though not enough blood was circulating in my dick this scared me half to death when it happened but it did return to normal in an hour or so. After this all happened I never even tried PE again. Since then I have had weaker erections and they're hard to maintain I loose my erection quickly without physically stimulating my dick and morning erections dissapear quickly too, the glans also don't inflate completely and it often deflated too so yeah I have/had quite a few problems. Due this ED I have avoided any attempt to have sex or seeing women because of the embarrasement of it all and the fact my erection on an average day it's only just about good enough for masturbation but not sex.

I can't tell you how much this crushed my manhood and self esteem over the years impotence is horrible and it really is one of the worst things that can happen to a guy especially when you're young and in my case still haven't had sex yet. I would read how ED of this type (Venous Leakage) is incurable and you're only hope is Viagra or Cialus for life or a penile implant which is obviously totally irreversable. I have been down about this over the years and while I would never kill myself due to ED I can understand why some men do it especially if they're totally impotent and even a penile implant for them isn't possible. I have believed for the longest time my ED was incurable and that I caused permamant tissue damage and therefore I'm screwed forever, going from raging hard ons all the time to weak erections that can barely stay up for a minute devestated me. However I have read some good posts over on various forums that men who had Venous Leakage recovered in time with regular use of Viagra or Kegels in fact Venous Leak problems may simply be due to lack of inflow. Now for those of you who feel you have Venous Leak incurable ED you probably don't. Kegels is a big key to getting good erections back Big Al has posted about this and Darrenneedstolearn said how pelvic floor exercises cured his Venous Leak type ED here's his thread:

https://www.pegym.com/forums/erectil...eak-e-d-2.html

I myself have done Kegels and been fairly conistant with them over the years and the results don't lie I go from weak erections that go down in seconds to rock hard erections that that throb and even taking a leak triggers instant wood. With Kegels erections are easier to get, easy to maintain and my cum shoots far, my orgasms are intense too like mind blowing. Anyway the main point is here when I stick with Kegels my erection stays hard on it's own and I don't need constant stimulation to hard erect. The other thing I noticed is my flacid penis would feel more spongy and inflexible (probably because of increased blood flow) where normally it feels firmer. I really think some of you guys with Venous Leakage fears will be cured with Kegels overtime that's what I'm doing, I know I thought for a while "I shouldn't need to do Kegels I'shouldn't need them" to get good erections but It's not a huge deal now I would rather rely on doing Kegels for most of my life than take Viagra forever (which has side effects) but I would use it If I had too or worse irreversable penile implant surgery. My belief is when I injured my dick stretching the blood flow was restricted and may of caused the penile muscle to atrophy leaving me with weaker erections. It's no surprised my erections were weaker after the stretching incident and became harder to maintain but it's undeniable that doing Kegels significantly improves my erection as long as I'm conistant with them. The only thing is though when I stop doing Kegels I end up back to the weaker erections but I'm guessing this is because I haven't done Kegels for long enough. At the end of the day all that matters is being able to get it up to have sex, forget size if you want a bigger dick good luck to you but I couldn't care less about my dick size anymore and it was being insecure over it that got my dick in a mess in the first place. Forget porn most guys aren't that big and seeing those huge guys in porn can really mess you mentally it did for me and at times I still need to remind myself that I'm aveage down there therefore it's okay It's not like I have a micro penis or any one here either, hell even if you have a really small dick if you're confident and not insecure about your dick women will want you a lot of it really is mental. As I've experienced real erections problems I wouldn't even try and get a bigger penis again even half an inch if my erection suffers it's just not worth it.

So back to Venous Leakage I honestly believe pure Venous Leakage is rare and when I say pure Venous Leakage I mean a man with it struggles to stay hard and get a good erections even with pills, injections, cock rings etc. I don't think many if anyone here has that kind of ED and I'm really thankful I don't have severe ED to the point where I can't even get erect anymore and the only option to have any sex is a penile implant. I do have ED to a degree (mild-moderate) but I'm sure it can be fixed without surgery or penile implants (thank god) besides I only ever did PE a few times and I wasn't that rough with my penis so I don't think I caused irreversable damage.

I reallly think Kegels are worth trying out the only dangers I have read about is maybe developing premature ejaculation but I could cope with that if I can get it up to sex I have read a story about a guy who over did them doing like 1000's a day and he got prostate problems but I think that's a extreme case.

I'm not sure if this post was written well but I would like to hear from you and hear what you think about this. Just because you have Venous Leak like symptoms doesn't mean the ED can't be reversed.

Cheers
