Venous Leak, Potential topical treatment
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 10:32 pm
I have been following a thread on another forum regarding a potential topical treatment to help improve venous leakage by regenerating scar tissue. The thought being pursued is based on the restorative properties of iodine combined with the absorption properties of DSMO. Please see following articles on both substances:
One human study summarized in a PubMed article showed that topical application of DMSO helped in the healing of skin ulcers/hardening caused by sclerosis. Now sclerosis works by pathogenically increasing the amount of connective tissue on the affected site (fibrosis). So this is an indication that DMSO can assist in the dissolution of scar and aberrant connective tissue, at least in skin-related fibrosis.

It has been used medically to treat abdominal adhesions in humans which were the result of stomach surgery.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9290192
There is also a case report (not a full report detailing the methodology used), but since it's on Pubmed, it's probably not too far fetched. The report basically says that topical iodine successfully regenerated a number of old and new scars that the subject had incurred.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19168293
Members on the other forum with suspected venous leaks are testing to see if the topical application of the two substances together on the base of the shaft and behind the scrotum will result in any improvement in erection quality. It is anticipated that it will take at least three months before any positive results, if any, will start to show.
I will keep you posted.
