doppler ultrasound. That instrument doesn't show a visual image, correct? Isn't more like listening to the penis with a stethoscope?Although I have been on TRT for years and levels are good, Viagra 100mg. or Cialis 20mg. does nothing, I kept having problems with ED, I finally found a office that does Doppler Ultrasound of Penis. Results are Venous Leakage, on both sides but more on left side.
$350.00how much did that cost?
bump ....whats treatment ?Did they say what treatment option are available?
Unfortunately many are still caught up on.....it must be the T, DHT, estradiol, prolactin!
*CVOD or venous leakage can still be identified in about 67% to 75% of men complaining of ED, regardless of whether they are young, middle-aged, or elderly (17).
*The most common cause of ED, regardless of the age of the patient, is vasculogenic due to CVOD or venous leakage.
My issue seemed to be psychological (performance anxiety?) based on the urologist’s observation that I have morning erections. Two months in, BiMix is working better than I expected. I get impressive, penetrative 2-hour erections. I wonder is men with venous leakage respond to BiMix?
increase the dosage of PDE5i esp Sildenafil. This solves my issue mainly. Timing it correctly. This is the first piece of advice from my ED doctor.
For Cialis, 20mg. Especially the Indian brand, same 20mg Cialis made in India is stronger than Cialis bought from goodrx.What did you increase dosage to?
