Great, can you finish filling out the survey?
You’ll get a tick on your avatar when it’s done. 
Sad to hear, but even men without pfs have ‘off-days’. Is your hourglass-shape still disappeared? Do you still use the Ved and how is your overall penis now? Do you still see progress in comparison with pre-ved?
What kind of recoveries are that? Can you go on some detail? Would you say you experience semen volume, orgasms, penis size and hardness 100% back to pre-pfs healthy level? Any bend on erect penis resolved too? Wow man! at least we can assume these issues are not permanent i like to read things like this to stay sane… thanks.
hourglass has almost disappeared, although am not sure what will happen if I stop using the VED. Erections are still difficult but stronger than before the VED. I guess it’s a matter of time.
Anyway, am happy I found a way to keep the smooth muscle active, without using daily drugs.

Things are better but not at 100%. Time and exercise with the VED will help I guess.
I think you made a very good point and useful for a lot of pfs-guy’s
Curious what pressure and time your pumping at? I injured my penis using one of those devices and it’s safe to say it scared me off of them for good. I’ve been numb and limp for 4 days, although the morning elections are getting slightly stronger every day, but I’m getting nerve pain now so it might take me a month or so to recover that. But one of the scariest things ever. Last session I had I went completely numb and Impotent afterwards.
Indeed, as with any device or tool, depending on how you use it you will find it useful or harmful.
It took me 2 sessions with my urologist to:
- find the right model of VED;
- learn how to use it step by step (pressure, duration, etc.).
Always do it with the supervision of a doctor first.
I believe this can be a good way to keep the smooth muscle in good shape, until a more holistic cure can be found.

Did your morning erections becoming stronger after usage of the ved?
yes, a bit. Morning and nocturnal. It takes time, as with any muscle
Not for me at all. I wasn’t careful enough. I read online about what pressure and time I should use it for, and I adhered to those guidelines but I must have been hypersensitive to it. Not sure if it screwed up the nerves in my shaft or pelvic floor. Maybe both.
How do you use it. Stay in the device for xx minutes or pump it hard in the device and then put a cockring for xx minutes?
Yes, my worst day are always accompanied by extreme anxiety and I cant say for sure but I dont think the anxiety is within my control at all mentally.
What is the brand of VED you use? I havent tried this yet but on daily viagra, I dont feel improvement in tissue quality despite it usually working in giving me nocturnal erections. Its accurate to say (IMO) that PEDs can work in giving you erections but dont seem to stretch your penis to capacity.
If theres one thing Ive learned about this condition, its that it fluctuates. I cant tell you how many times I thought I was cured, only to reach rock bottom over and over again. The good times have kept me hopeful these 15 years but the bad times keep me scared and hold me back.
What I have noticed is that if I have a day or 2 with weak nocturnal erections, then things will feel smaller and weaker but if I force erections, they are usually followed by thicker, longer, stronger erections and a more comfortable flaccid state. Has anyone else noticed a pattern like this?

Sorry if I don’t share any brand names or protocols on how to use the VED.
The way to use it depends on the model.
And I am totally against the “do-it-yourself” philosophy.
Even if somebody wanted to explain to me via web how to use the VED, I would have injured myself if hadn’t done this with the supervision of the urologist.
It’s important to visit the urologist so that he can explain the details.
Re Viagra and Cialis: in my case, they helped to get stronger erections. But in order to oxygenate the muscle, you need longer (not just stronger) erections. In my case, with Cialis I was able to get an erection of 1 minute, very strong, but then it went away without permanent stimulation (since Finasteride somehow affected the veno-occlusive mechanism of the erection).
Whereas with the VED, you can easily manage erections of several minutes.
But I insist: go and visit an urologist to learn how to use it in real time.
