No venous leak but still gone with implant?

[AussieGuy81]

Hi guys,

I just had my initial appointment with a high volume implanter here in Australia.

He's recommended because of my age (43), we should do a Doppler first to check for a venous leak. I do agree with him, I think it's a good responsible first step to help see if there is anything physical going on.

I think a part of me wants there to be a venous leak so there is a justifiable reason for getting an implant and not just a psychological reason. I know that sounds crazy but in feel like it complicates things more if it's just a psychological thing and not physical.

Have any of you guys had a Doppler done, found no leak and still gone down the implant route?

The whole thing of just a massive mind f*ck

Thanks in advance

Because i know how pssd is unknown to doctors..my take is...If you got no morning wood for a long time, you already failed high dose pde5i, you tried sensate focus therapy and failed, you aren't currently taking any meds that affect erection and your marriage is at stake....go for it.

Also if your sex is occasional try trimix

Have you ever had your hormones checked? Your T can be in range, but free T and bioavailable T can be low enough to cause effects of hypogonadicism.

Testosterone mitigates venous leak in hypogonadal patients:

Might be worth considering.

Hi who’s your doctor

[AussieGuy81]

No morning wood for years, sometimes in might get a halfy, im not sure about nocturnal erections.

I take SSRI's normally for depression which absolutely can affect you sexually, I recently swapped over to a SNRI, I'm going to see how that goes for a bit.

As for hormones, I've had them all multiple times, free T, everything, every time they come back normal. If anything above the middle of 'normal' levels.

My Dr is Dr Chris Love

You can't judge that you have refractory ED (the one that needs implantation) unless you stop meds affecting erections( snris included) and for a long time...that doesn't mean i say you gotta stop em...I'm stating raw facts.
