I saw a urologist the other day and had a duplex doppler, or duplex ultrasound or something like that.
Anyway. The result was that blood flow into my penis was fine, even quite good. I don't know how many have had this test/understand it, but the blood flow is like measured in a number. Anything flowing in at over '25' is considered normal. I was flowing in at 71 in one chamber, and 64 in the other. This test was to knock out any chance of arterial insufficiency...which has been done.
I now am off to see another guy to get a cavernography (prob VERY bad spelling) or something like that...which will definitively show if there is any leakage and exactly where from.
I spoke to a surgeon about the surgery if I am viable. He said he has performed 25 of the procedures, and he removes the offending vein(s). I asked him about success rate and he said nearly all of them were successful, but I do feel he was not telling me something and omitting some information just by looking at his face...Hydromaxmm.
I also asked him about embolization. He said the follow up was not good. I then showed him the data I had gathered that showed positive follow ups for a year later...and he then said he also did not like it because if the agent that blocks off the vein leaks like down the leg...you can lose toes and even a whole leg because those veins become fucked and clogged or whatever. He said this risk would depend on the surgeon who operates.
