Corpus Cavernosum Fibrosis

[Ulysses]

Took low dose cialis at lunch today. It worked well. I can get pretty hard erections now that last. I haven't tested it with a woman but I have yanked one out 4 times today. Each time erection was rock hard. The 4th one actually kind of hurt cuz it was so hard and penis was a bit tired. I can maintain them too. Tested it by walking around a bit, not really trying to maintain it just walking without thinking. Things worked quite well. Sensitivity is still lower than pre-fin but its better with Cialis cuz my dick gets a lot harder. I am only taking 5 mg and now I am about 9 hours since my dose and erections are still hard.

It's really takes a load off even having just normal erections for a day. You can stop thinking about your dick for a couple hours cuz you know it is working again. It just totally relieves a lot of the mental strain associated and its great.

Only side affect I'd say is that my head feels a little wierd. Like kind of head ache ish???? More just like head pressure if I could describe it.

So I am on clomiphene and cialis and things are somewhat working again. I don't want to take these forever so we shall see. I guess its a good feeling to know that there is some way out of this at some point.

The next 6 months I am going to focus on getting my life back. Hopefully when I quit my protocol things will stick.

Sometimes I wonder what fin did. I really wish the drug had worked for my hair loss but I think will all the stress I was under when I started taking it, my body crashed without DHT there to help out.

Then the priapism came along which I think made erection problems worse..... because I am hoping my hormone levels have recovered at this point. They were somewhat normal on my last test.

The next big milestone will be waking up with a hard on. I don't think it will happen tomorrow..... but maybe the next day when I pop a cialis right before bed it might. Fingers crossed.

I'm moving this to the logs section fyi

Ok so cialis allowed me to wake with a morning erection. That was nice to have back again. Now I do not know if they will stick around if I quit cialis.

Starting nofap today too.

That sound to me you are not that damaged.
I do not get morning erections at all, depite I am on a rollercoaster where I go from super erections just from texting to a girl to feeling such a burning sensation and getting some shrinkage with zero libido.
That's weird really.
By the way, I guess your corpus cavernosus are not fucked up till you can get it up.

DMSO, vitamin K2, topical DHT, proto enzymes, gelatin can all break up fibrosis. Even fasting too, but I would fix PFS first and that would probably take care of most of it.

You just use plain DMSO powder or prepare a cream from it ? Can you provide any dosage ?

Just DMSO liquid and apply topically, try 0.5ml and let it sit overnight, topical iodine can work too

My tissue is damaged because I need drugs to help me get an erection and even then it is not as good as before but its passable. The Cialis acts as a crutch to help my tissue stretch out more. I am hoping I am in the early stages and will still be able to make it out of this situation with the appropriate steps and treatments. I don't get morning erections without treatment where as prior to fin I would get rock hard ones every morning. I am currently only on clomiphene and Cialis at the moment.

WUF. Unless you have severe fibrosis you also should respond to drugs. Maybe check your hormone levels. Cialis etc doesn't work unless you are in the mood. You have to be in the mood for them to work or have high libido. Cialis doesn't work without stimulation.

I gotta beat this boys. I love sex too much haha.

Man, i think for you hyperbaric chamber could be helpfull.

 

[Ulysses]

How could that be helpful?

How could that be helpful?

it seems to help regenerating damaged tissues and to let them working again.

Well guys. Sensitivity is so low there is almost no point in masterbating anymore. Can Clomid cause this? I am about 4 weeks on clomid now, and maybe the increase in estrogen can reduce sensitivity? I don't know. I have diagnosed reduced penile sensitivity by Dr. Goldstein. I also have really bad fibrosis, take a look at my before and after ultrasounds. One is before priapism (2 months off fin) and another is after priapism (5-6 months off fin). It's a huge difference and most likely permanent. In this current state, I am not able to have sex with a woman and will most likely never be able too. I am on cialis and while it helps give me erections slightly better, it is most definitely not a cure and it's effects seem to be dwindling.

Check out my photos and let me know.

Also WUF, I don't thin hypobaric chambers are a thing man. First off, they reduce oxygen levels. People use them to train for long distance sports, and I have been in one before to simulate the effects of hypoxia. They don't add oxygen and if they did, why not breath straight O2. And that is not going to heal jack shit in the penis. I am not sure where you have heard of this before as being a treatment for anything.

The duller photos are the ones taken in Canada. They had a better ultrasound in the states.

A 4 hour erection, everywhere I read it should not cause problems like this. However, I don't know what else could have caused these problems. The PRP shots I have been doing have pretty much been useless. I don't think they have done anything and erection quality has not improved. The cialis seemed to help for a bit but now it has gone right back to square one I would say.

I really hope I can get the sensitivity back. I really really hope so. Otherwise, I will never enjoy sex again. It is that bad.

 

[wuf]

i red hypobaric chambers could help to restore tissues.

 

[wuf]

how are you doing @Ulysses ?

Ullysses , came across your story. My symtoms are identical to yours. Took fin for 4 years, crashed and off for 2. All symtoms were sexual. Initially penis shrank and no sensitivity but recovered from this. however despite being able to get an erection, cannot maintain for > 30 secs. Its a disaster. Went to the leading urologist in the uk and he said my hormones were fine but the issue was smooth muscle dysfunction. Have had 3 dopplers with conflicting results, same as yourself...he prescribed shockwave therapy and started first session of 6 yesterday, will report results. Did Goldstein reccomemd this for you?

 

[Ulysses]

No he did not recommend shockwave therapy. How can you have confliciting results. You took the drug for 4 years. I took it for one month, so I am really not sure how I was affected so quickly. I personally think a urologist I saw made it worse.

When you got your dopplers done did the urologist bring the erection down immediately after or did he let it come down on its own? How strong was your erection from the injection.

 

[eskimojoe]

first doppler not on cialis...erection lasted 1 minute and had venous leak diagnosed with massive outflow

second doppler pn cialis...perfect erection, no venous leak diagnosed but went downafter 10mins

Final doppler, was also on cialis. go a 30pc erection despite waking up with morning wood and going through a "good phase" However doc said bloodflow was normal

Urologist said that i probably have a smooth muscle issue and the cialis helps relax muscles sufficiently to prevent outflow

However this does not explain how my dick is non responsive to caverject

tbh the fact you needed an injection to get it down probably means that at least your mechanics are working...the doc said erection should last at keasr 30 minutes

The worrying thing forcme is that the cialis is losing effectiveness

Dont know what to do

 

[Ulysses]

so you couldn't get a sufficient erection for the doppler with the caverject? How did you get the doppler done then?

 

[eskimojoe]

i had like a semi... obviously not ideal conditions but radiologist said you can still be tested

be interesting to see how others reacted to caverject injections, the fact they wouldnt give me an automatic erections supports the theory that pfs is nervous system related

Yes man, this is right.
Many years ago I did exactly the same route as you are doing (you are loosing time and money)...and same happened to me, couldn't get a full erection even with injection.
Time made things better.
Don't loose your mind over it, it is nothing related to your penis etc...it is PFS and it is a systemic (general body) issue.

 

[noprop]

Maybe you can try the trimix injection. Some people do not respond to caverject only. So you have to figure out.

 

[eskimojoe]

as an update... no c. 2 years of propevia, have been taking daily cialis which kinda works but effects fluctuate. Stopped cialis and all supplements about a week ago just to see where i am at. Woke up with morning wood 2 days in a row and was popped an erection without any touch yesterday, and was able to maintain it without physical simulation for 2 minutes. Clearly not fully revovered but feels like things are going in right direction

The only concern i have is that maybd the remnants of the daily cialis are still ij my system, although its meant to have a hslf life of 18 hours
