Leeches anyone?

Guys - I think that I have found the solution to PFS…it’s leeches. Ok, I’m kidding with that, but from some of the theories I’ve seen, I feel like someone might take that seriously.

However, I recently read a CNN article on how smoking can make someone’s nipples fall off during a breast lift surgery (thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/05/smoking-can-make-your-nipples-fall-off/0). The reason I mention this is that…

“Because of the mechanics of blood flow, when the blood supply is inadequate, which occurs with smoking, the tiniest veins often fail. This insufficiency results in a backup of old (venous) blood in the body part, causing it to turn purple. If the backup of old blood is serious enough, the purple color may eventually turn black. That’s when we know the body part - toe, finger, or nipple - is dead.”

Now, I’m not saying that I think our dicks are all gonna fall off. However, for those who have seen increases in large veins, this is often indicative of the destruction of smaller veins. The way this problem is resolved (effin’ A, I can’t believe I’m about to post this…)

“We use leeches to literally suck out the excess venous blood from the body part, acting as an attachable vein. The leech drains the old blood, causing it to turn from unhealthy purple back to healthy pink. We place leeches intermittently until the body part grows new blood vessels to do the leeches’ work. This can take several days.”

Am I going to run over to the local fishing bait shop, buy some leeches, and blood-let my wang? Hell no. Do I think you should do it? No (because I want no liability for anyone putting leeches on their peters). Yet, if there are blood flow problems due to destroyed vein systems, apparently leeches have legitimate, recognized, medical success in the grow of new blood vessels.

Once again, I am not advocating putting blood sucking leeches on your schlong, just indicating that leeches are used by medical doctors to increase blood vessels in blood-starved tissue.

Hahahaha :laughing: :open_mouth:

Terrifying idea bud.

Ok this is actually interesting. Can you point me to sources that discusses this in greater detail? If the lack of colour and appearance of larger veins is correlated with the “destruction of tinier veins” and “the backup of old venous blood” I wonder if there are any ways to ameliorate this? Short of freaking leeches! It’s 2011 now… cmon man lol.

For instance, has anyone tried any light penis exercises or so on (just guessing that this would lead to new tiny vein growth and shuttling of old venous blood)?

Just thinking out loud.

double post… sorry

well considering doctors thought it was a great idea to use antiandrogens as a treatment i don’t see that stupid to think of leeches or any other shit…

Leech therapy for complicated varicose veins

"After leech therapy all the ulcers showed healing, while 95 per cent of patients showed a decrease in oedema and limb girth. Seventy five per cent patients demonstrated a decrease in hyperpigmentation. The mean pO2 of blood sucked by the leech was 40.05 +/- 7.24 mmHg, which was similar to the mean pO2 of the patients’ venous blood (34.33 +/- 8.4 mmHg). Thus it appears from this study that the medicinal leech sucks venous blood and aids ulcer healing, and can probably therefore be used as an effective adjunct in the management of complicated varicose veins. "

Ok - I’m done contributing to this. I don’t want any blood on my hands. (pun intended)

Interesting. Sounds like it could be worth a shot.

Before this goes further, does anyone have diagnosed varicose veins on their penis? And if so is your penis absent of shrinkage?

It seems that the prominent veins are more likely a visual effect caused by the core of the penis becoming fibrotic (hard) and smaller. Though you can drain blood by this method the veins may be perfectly fine and the issue could rather be the shrunken core of the penis making them look big (and possibly pinching off the blood supply). I don’t see how this would affect the core issue.

Finasteride left me with large purple veins on my ball sack, I’ve had an echo done of my scrotum and according to the urologist the bloodflow was excellent. This theory doesn’t seem very likely to me.
