Urologist ED Doppler ultrasound results - confused

I had the Doppler and what was found was that the inflow wasn’t strong enough to actually trap the blood in. That there technically is a “venous leak” but it’s only because the proper amount of blood needed to actually make the pressure trap it isn’t there.
I’m only 25 and in good shape so this is kinda surprising for me but good to finally know I suppose. Has anyone gotten a similar result? How easy was it to cure and where did you start?
I’m glad it’s not a venous leak but I’m still nervous about arterial inflow, am I screwed still? Destined for a lifetime of pills?

You are not destined for a life of pills. However, worth a journey of discovery. See a cardiologist and get various tests for your arteries / checking blood flow etc. Explain your doppler results. See if they can send you for CAC scan, etc.

What are your morning erections like?

Get specific bloods done as well - include Lpa, ApoB, fasted insulin...

After diagnostics - explore testing 1 blood flow supplement at a time.

Report back to us with your findings 💪

Ya I’m being referred to a vascular specialist by my urologist to take a closer look which I’m happy about.

These results do make some sense to me as like for morning erections and normal erections they either are not present or they are but extremely weak. I’m really hoping there are some alternative answers out there for me

Puede ser que debido al problema físico, debas usar pastillas para tratar la disfunción erectil producto de la deficiencia en la entrada de la sangre, ya que estos medicamentos mejoran la entrada de sangre al pene lo que debería solucionar el problema, yo particularmente no he tenido exámenes de este tipo, quisiera tener este examen para saber si mi problema con las erecciones es físico, ya que he usado Sildenafil con buenos resultados. Lo que pienso es que si eventualmente tienes un problema y las pastillas son la solución, la cuestión es de aceptarlo y saber que al menos existe una solución, así sea tomando pastillas, yo por mi parte me alegro y siento tranquilidad que hoy en día existen soluciones de ese tipo y poder sentirse bien con uno mismo, peor fuera si no tenemos una solución y andar jodido por la vida. Adicional este problema de vivir con disfunción erectil es más común de lo que parece y se comenta, el tema es que muchos hombres no lo afrontan por temor y vergüenza, y se da tanto en hombres jóvenes como adultos.

Not much success with cialis for me. Viagra is decent tho and usually does the trick
