Hello ExcelMale,
I had a Penile Doppler Ultrasound done by a local urologist. I'm 30 yrs old and had this problem for at least 10-15 yrs. I'll save you the sob story, but I'm now more determined to solve it. The urologist notes stated:
"Summary:
I injected 0.1 cc of TriMix into the left corpora. At 30 minutes, patient had 65% temescence and 50% rigidity. The study is consistent with arteriogenic dysfuction. With decreased flow past the proximal portion of his left cavernosal artery. The right cavernosal artery was normal.
Impression:
Arteriogenic/venogenic dysfunction. Patient stated he does not remember having any injury to the area. Cause may be congenital. Medical evaluation recommended."
From reading above, it isn't clear if I have arteriogenic or venogenic. I researched & learned venogenic dysfunction is another term for venous leak. As far as arteriogenic, I found 1 study that stated dietary antioxidants may help. Pomegranate extract was used in the study:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20584092
My T was low in the 180-300 range. Tadalafil didn't help much at that time probably due to low T. The urologist wasn't comfortable with prescribing TRT. Afterwards, I contacted Dr. Saya. We tried clomid/HCG/anastrozole first, with no success. We tried TRT next. 3 months of it did help bring back much more morning wood which I never had much before, but still some ED.
Given this info, any tips? I exercise, decent diet, and a healthy BMI. I researched supplements all over the web that can help. This week, I decided to try a modified version of Gene's Nitric Oxide Stack. Taking the stack 3 times a day as Gene recommends is tough due to my job, so I modified/increased dosage to take twice a day. Everything else is the same except I'm taking 6.25mg tadalafil once a day, no Doxazosin, and I added a little bit of maca/beet root/ginseng (considering hawthorn and pomegranate extract). It's only been a week, but I think it might be helping! Taking all these different supplements does scares me a little, as I know supplements aren't as regulated as food. So my plan is to find something that works consistently, slowly see what supplements I can cut back, and run it by the doc if I stick with it.
