I am wondering if anyone here has used Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in order to treat their erectile dysfunction? A friend told me he was speaking to someone who bought one (not cheap--around a $50K price tag) and was using it daily for other issues, and found that much stronger erections were a side effect that he had not expected.
If you don't know what HOT is, this is from the Mayo Clinic website:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a potential risk of scuba diving. Other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that may not heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury.
In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.
When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
In addition, this therapy can allegedly induce penile angiogenesis.
This study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30089290/ also had promising results in regards to using HOT as an ED treatment.
In any case, has anyone on this forum tried this treatment? What was your experience with it? Any input here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
