How do you know if you have venous leak for sure?

Having an exam called penile doppler. If the result of the end diastolic velocity is above 5 cm/sec,
that could be a sign of venous leakage. But this exam is not considered conclusive nowadays by some urologists.

Performing Kegel exercises can be very, very helpful on this matter,
depending on how serious it is ; I can´t recomend them enough!!!


The value of increased end diastolic velocity during penile duplex sonography in relation to pathological venous leakage in erectile dysfunction.

Abstract
In 58 patients 23 to 71 years old (mean age 49.5 years) with suspected vasculogenic erectile dysfunction diagnosed on the basis of repeated negative reactions to intracavernous pharmacological stimulation (rigidity less than 60% when measured with the RigiScan* device) pharmacocavernosometry and duplex Doppler measurements were performed. The end diastolic velocity in the 24 patients without venous leakage ranged from 0 to 21 cm. per second (mean 7.5 +/- 6.3, standard deviation). The end diastolic velocity in the 34 patients with venous leakage ranged from 0 to 26 cm. per second (mean 9.0 +/- 6.7). In 23 of the 58 patients a peak systolic velocity of less than 25 cm. per second was found, which is an indication of arterial disease. Of 35 patients with a normal peak systolic velocity 15 were in the group without and 20 were in the group with leakage. In the group with a normal peak systolic velocity no statistically significant difference was found in end diastolic velocity between patients with and without leakage. We conclude that the end diastolic velocity during color Doppler analysis of patients with negative reactions on intracavernous pharmacological stimulation does not provide a good indication of potential pathological venous leakage.

If pills (viagra, cialis, levitra) alone will NOT give you a good erection....and if a tight cock ring (with or without pills) WILL give you a good firm erectiob...then you have a venous leak. Cock rings work by squeezing the leak shut. However...it is possible to get a venous leak so bad that even a tight cock ring will not keep it stiff.

That is what happened with my test. Next step in bionic. Waiting to hear about that! My Dr. is on top of it.

I will say the test is really pretty quick and painless. The results were made known to me at the end of the test. I saw the screen and it was fully and completely explained. It is nothing to be the least bit affraid of.
