Is my ED physical, psychological or hormonal?

This is something overlooked by many men suffering from ED!

Many young men can suffer from this.

*ED due to caverno-venous leakage (CVL), whether isolated or accompanying other causes of erectile dysfunction, is frequent specially among young adults

Hey TB, I feel badly for you, but I think you've found your way to some very bright people here on the board - hopefully they can help out.

I have shades of the same concerns as you. I'm older, 69, but am in good physical shape; also on TRT. I have only a limited response to Viagra so I tried Trimix, with the same less than ideal erection quality. My urologist is also thinking venous leak. I tried the rings but they don't make much of a difference.

The kicker, to me, is that I often wake up with a super rigid erection. Hard to believe that I can't get an adequate erection during waking hours, even if I use Viagra or Trimix, but then in the morning I'd wake up with a 10/10 erection. Maybe many things are psychological in nature . . .

Thank you for your kindness friend, I really appreciate it.

Regarding your situation, the fact that you wake up with 10/10 erections leads me to believe that your penis works fine. I would assume that your issues during the day may be more related to some medication you are taking or maybe some mental block.

In my case, I only wake up with soft erections, that's why I was very suprirsed when the NPT test stated that I had 3 episodes lasting 1 hour at 85% rigidity.

I know what it means to get a very good erection when waking up, as I used to get them almost every day for those 2 years where everything was functioning well. I never experienced that again in the past 4 years unfortunately
