In Reply to: VENOUS LEAK - anyone know anything about it? posted by Cate:
The rigidity of an erection is more of a function of blood flow. Healthy arteries will facilitate an inflow of blood in response to the dilation or opening of the channels. This flow rapidly increases in response to appropriate stimulation either through natural arousal or artificial stimulation by Viagra or genric Viagra medication. An inadequate response to either natural or drug stimulation suggests good arterial filling but failure to trap blood within the erectile tissue. Veins, which drain the erectile spaces, may leak inappropriately and a soft erectile response, or a rapid loss of erection is often the result. This failure of the veno-occlusive mechanism lets the pressure out, and is the single most common cause of impotence. It may co-exist with poor arterial inflow, hormone abnormalities or both.
SUMMARY
Erectile dysfunction that responds well to medication is usually related to psychological issues rather than arterial blood flow. When the response to either natural or stimulated arousal results in a soft erection, or one which is quickly lost, the problem is more likely to be venous.
