e.d trouble (maybe venous leak)

[giantsrule]

yeah i think i def need to look into someone who specializes with e.d. i couldnt find any around the town im in, its just a small college town. my dad said we would figure something out and do whatever it takes. its pretty awkward and embarresing that my dad knows.. i flipped out one day and told him. i dont think anyone else knows except my last gf i think she picked up on it pretty fast hahaha

my dad said i should get a second opinion too the original doc i saw that sent me to the urologist said that some people just have bad luck and id prob never have a normal sex life without some kind of aid again and i got pissed and thats when i flipped. my dad called him and he told him he told me that it was prob just pychological and that i could get help which is complete crap he never even mentioned that to me. with both him and the urologist i could tell they didnt really care. the urologist just gave me ciaslis and told me to have a better attitude

 

[flex]

It's great that you told your dad and he's willing to help. Google for urologists with that specialty or you might want to try to find one who is a member of the ISSM. Let us know how it goes.

Welcome giantsrule. It sounds like you've already been given some great advice.

 

[aidan784]

Seriously, having your dad understand help you out puts you in a great position, that support is fantastic, puts you in a better position than quite a few people.
Yeah can't really add to what's been said, 2nd opinion, pay attention to what big al says. Also, it must have been some seriously vigorous exercise that you believe did this. Beginners PE shouldn't be as big as a shock to the penis as a reasonably heavy handed masturbation really.
I really wish you the best of luck. Suicidal thoughts should not arise from this but they shouldn't be ignored, so like has already been said they are definitely what you should look into before the E.D issues.

 

[giantsrule]

i havnt really had a chance to check out the exercises yet or look for an ed specialist but ill def get on top of that. does anybody think that the laying off the masterbation will pay off? ive gone 2 days so far and im trying not to crack hahaha

 

[Stretch Armstrong]

Give up porn, give up masterbation, don't even look at a titty for a week solid. Wear loose boxers. I'm betting your issue goes away by day 5.

 

[giantsrule]

i really hope your right man, but im not banking on it. ive been having porblems for like 4 years and daily cialis didnt do much after day 1. its def worth a shot though ive been getting my crappy semi hard erection but i havnt been doing anything about it. i just knocked out 5 sets of 10 kegals hopefully that will help

 

[NoName]

Cialis doesn't work well for me but viagra does. Maybe you should try viagra?

If you can masturbate you don't have ed! Ed means nothing works and therefore you need treatment or drugs. If I get what your saying correctly that you masturbate and ejaculate then the problem lies someplace other than your dick!

He's saying that he can masturbate and ejaculate with a less than hard unit.

As NoName said, you might want to consider Viagra. Many guys find it has much more of a kick, although a shorter duration. If you decide to ask your doctor and try it, you might want to completely avoid masturbation or even thinking about sex for a few weeks, or as long as you can. Then, when you naturally start to feel horny take 50 mg viagra prior to sex or masturbation. This will optimize the effect and may demonstrate to you that the plumbing is working and may help with the psychological component.

 

[CUSP82]

Being as young as he is I don't think the problem is one of plumbing therefore the addition of drugs is questionable, particlularly for his age. He needs to see a qualified urologist, be assured the plumbing is okay, and then seek other treatment.There are many questions in this saga that need answers.

His urologist already gave him a prescription for a PDE5 inhibitor. If his problem actually was a leak, this is usually the first line of treatment anyway. And if it isn't, many urologists do prescribe this, even for young guys, to help them get past a psychological hurdle.

 

[giantsrule]

i hope its not a physicsl thing but i just dont think that it can be that crazy of a coincidence that i hadf problems the exact day after trying out some p.e exercises. i didnt think i went real hard though but maybe harder than i should of. i just think its weird that it seems like the cialis is working less and less everyday. does anybody else think that laying off the masterbation will fix everything up? im on day 3 now. i was also wondering if you think i should hold off on the cialis while im not masterbating so i dont get any kind of erection?

also when i go see another urologists what should i say to him? i know a couple of you have been saying there are things that dont add up and i need to get to the bottom of. which things are you talking about. can a pychological issue let you get semi hard usually without a problem but never all the way? i figured with psycologocal its all or nothing

 

[steve123]

Hey Giants, sorry to hear about your problems. I'll post again later when i get time to, but I have been dx'ed with venous leak and you can read about it in this forum.


Also, keep with the daily cialis. IF I read correctly, your levels will stabilize after 4 days. what's the strength, is it 5 or 2.5 mg? According to my doc, the idea behind low dose daily cialis is that you take it for the year. And some men find that after that year, they have improved function without cialis. So i think you put yourself at a disservice by stopping that.

Also, please don't think about suicide. I know it's tought to deal with. Psychological effects can mimic physical ED. And when you are depressed, it can make your ED worse. You can read a thread started by noname who was able to overcome some pretty heavy psychological ED. In your case, you have been a happy person. But it would be a very good idea to talk to a therapist about how ED has affected you and depressed your mood.

Lastly, to dispel a common misconception some may have, it is possible to ejaculate while masturbating on a flaccid penis.

If you could, post your age, any general medical conditions, which medications you take, whether you smoke or drink or do drugs, and other related issues. Just if you can please post what tests your doctor ordered and the results. also, any traumatic injury to your pelvis, whether you ride a bike.

ive stayed on the cialis so far it just hasnt been doin much for me the last couple of days. right now im just staying on that and not masterbating at all. ive been going to town on myself pretty hard for like 4 years it prob just went on strike hahaha ive been knocking out some kegals too. ive also been hitting the gym pretty hard since i dont masterbate now i have a lot of time to kill hahahaha the cialis says 5mg.

im 24 yo and im not on any meds i used to drink a lot harder since im in college but now i just go heavy on the drinking most weekends. they just did the usual tests like hormones and stuff like that i had to give up like 10 viles of blood so i think they went all out. and i did a pee test

 

[TurtleProblems]

Sorry to hear about that, sucks doesn't it? I'm in a similar situation but not as bad. Been to urologists and they all said the same sh*t, I think most of them honestly don't care. I truly believe alot of them want you to *think* its psychological, that way they can sell you their useless pills. Some of it may indeed be psychological, but I highly doubt its full blown. If you wanna take some pills that work, try arginine, gingko, horny goat weed, zinc ect, made a difference for me 2-3 a day of each will work and only 1 gingko. The next thing you need to do if you haven't already is do what im going to do, and go get FULL blood work done, and all the levels checked like testosterone, estrogen etc. I remember back when I was 18-19 I could always get hard with little effort, and always had huge morning wood, but now I don't. So it could be a hormone thing. Also if your up to it, lay off the porn and exessive sex/ejaculation for awhile and see if anything changed. Also have your blood sugar checked. Fight it and chances are you will come out ahead.

Good Luck

Btw, if you get your levels checked post back and let us know how it went.

 

[NoName]

i just think its weird that it seems like the cialis is working less and less everyday.

I experienced the same with 10 mg cialis pills. The first pill worked fine. After a few days cialis didn't work at all. I told my doctor and he gave me viagra instead. Viagra gave me a rock-hard erection at a time where it was nearly impossible for me to get even a half-stiffy. In fact viagra gave me the hardest erection I ever had. But maybe you should try the cialis 10 mg or 20 mg pills before you try viagra?

 

[giantsrule]

they alreadu did every single blood work test they could i came out good in all of them. im about to finsh up day 3 of no masterbation, its a big step for me hahaha

If you could post the results and numbers, that would be great but if you want to keep that private I'll understand. The reason I ask is because the results can sometime come back normal, but some things can still be on the low or high side but still within normal range. How old were you btw 24? I'm 23 and started have lower EQ since I was about 19. Now when I lift weights or work out, I feel like sh*t afterward. When I get a good night sleep, I still feel like sh*t alot of times, anything sound familiar? Get back to us and try to ignore the depression because if you focus on it all the time it will get worse. Btw there is nothing wrong at all with a little depression everyone gets it whether they admit it or not, its all in how you deal with things. Having erectile problems is enough to make anyone depressed, and alot of doctors just don't really understand because chances are they have no erectile problems and go home after seeing people and probably screw their hot wives, lucky them. Unlucky for us.

Edit: Btw if he/she just came out and told you they were good but didn't show you the results, request that they give them to you. Just a thought incase they didn't

they found a bacterial infection through the tests so im not sure if that would throw things off
im pretty proud of myself im drunk and im still going strong on not masterbating. i could have even taken a girl home but i guess theres no point in that one these days
