Embolization or injections?

After several years of erectile dysfunction, a soft glans, and short-lived erections (venous leak), I'm now permanently single and 30 years old. I currently have two options left: Skat and embolization. All other therapies—pills, shockwave pump, etc.—have only provided short-term relief and caused side effects. I've been considering embolization for years because my erectile dysfunction stems from pelvic surgery, and I had normal erections before the operation. However, I've read almost exclusively negative things about it.

Unfortunately the reason you’ve read almost exclusively negative things about embolization is that it just doesn’t work. It really seems to benefit the doc who does the procedure ($$$) and no one else.

If it worked there would be countless posts here about guy’s good experiences with it. The best docs. The benefit of this approach or that. Just like there are for pills, shots, and implants. At this point those are the treatments that actually work.

Yes, but the glans doesn't get hard during injections.

My glans does not get hard after Trimix injections, but I don't find that to be a problem.

Have you talked to a neurologist interested in mens' sex problems?

I did not see you mention a constriction band. I have diagnosed VOD, Veno-occlusive defeciency, aka venous leak, via a penile doppler ultrasound. On 5mg/day cialis, good arrousal and physical stim, I get about 50% hardness. add a silicon constriction band and it raises to 90% sometimes better. Coupled with a tri mix shot its gets close to 100% and it will last longer and be more reliable.

MY POINT IS. A correct size and tension band does more for my VOD than any thing else.

Im on this forum investigating pt-141. In hopes that I wont have to work so hard to maintain that 90-100%
