Hello, guys,
Post-implantation, sometimes the glans and shaft engorgement is not what it used to be.
I have been looking into ways to remedy this situation. I am using daily Cialis and do daily cardio, which I believe helps. I have stumbled upon hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In general, it seems to me that it might be helpful. I read some papers where men suffered glans ischemic events, their glans nearly died, but were saved by hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In other studies hyperbaric oxygen therapy helped to mitigate ED.

Do you think it is safe and helpful for men to undergo such therapies even after IPP placement? Or is it just money-wasting pseudo-science quack?

One of the authors of this study, Mohit Khera, did a recent YouTube interview with Rena Malik where HBOT was briefly discussed. Going from memory, I believe he said it was promising but warned of cheap home versions that were not effective. Should be able to find it by googling "mohit khera rena malik"

Re: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Is that where they put you in a chamber of pure oxygen? If so, that is very dangerous. A few months ago near Detroit, one exploded and burned a young child alive.
ED worsened over 25 years, likely VL. Went through pills and injections, and results faded over time. Implant AMS 700CX, 21 cm, no RTE, on 6/3/24.

I don't think it has to be pure 02, just higher than atmospheric O2 percentage. Atmospheric is 21%, a 40% mix should have benefits.
58yo Coloplast Titan implant scheduled for 10/23/2025 with Dr. Hakky. Pre-op erect measurements:
8.5"L and 6.5"C
8.5"L and 6.5"C

I’d be curious of the results for you. I would personally try it out so soon after your surgery. I would have loved to do it soon after I had my injury, but I was unaware. I am still considering trying it out almost 6 months after my ischemic injury just because it may still be the best available option to see any cell or tissue recovery.
