The other person i dont know who it was that had melman as a doctor and had the rigiscan and the doppler done. I remember someone said that he believed the rigiscan over the dopler. I might be in a similar situation and want to know what your specific numbers were. How low was your blood flow? did the chart say abnormal blood flow on it or did he say it was normal but low? for the rigiscan did you get blood to the tip and in the base. I got a 70% rigidity in the base and only 40% in the tip. A very weak erection.

Please if you have any more info on your test please post them.

Hey Ant,

I sent in a request for copies of my file so I don’t have specific numbers yet. I’m seeing him on the 22nd so I’ll ask for them then. As for what he said - my doppler was low, about 50% flow. The rigi was good, not sure exactly, but it was very definitive, possibly 100%. The duration was good too. Not sure why such a disparity between the tests.

My nocturnals and morning erections are very inconsistent. I remember it being a good week during the rigi. I also remember it being a bad week during the doppler. Don’t know what that means except that maybe it’s not a physical problem - ie: tissue, blockage, etc. Must be hormonal, adrenal, neuro or something. However there is penis pain and curvature.

I just looked on the old board and found that you’ve used Requip. Are you still on it? How’s it going? Melman prescribed this for me a few weeks ago. There was actually a 3-4 day improvement when I started .25mg and then the same when I increased to .50mg but neither sustained. I’m seeing my endo tomorrow. Will do new blood and reassess. Might try .75mg. Tell me your experience. Anyone else would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was never on that drug.

I am having the hardest time trying to get my results from the doppler from melman. I cant believe i have to take a day off work and wait for a appointment to get results from a test I had over a month ago. I have the techs response and it says abnormal blood flow. ABNORMAL…meaning not normal. I do get noctornals though they are not strong. had a average tip rigidity of like 40% with a average base rigidity of like 70%. Most doctors look at that and go normal…how is that normal!?! shouldnt a normal erection be from the base to the tip? I mean if its not then its not a usable erection is it. I have reached the boiling point with doctors. I have no more patience. My relationship is falling apart cause of this. I am seeing one of the best psychologist and they say I am fine and there is nothing wrong with my head. AARRRRRGH!!

I’ve had the same experience with Melman. Can’t get shit done without an appointment, and he’s usually booked for 2 months. NEVER returns a phone call. I just want my test results! And he prescribes me medication and then drops off the face of the earth, no way to follow up and ask questions. In contrast, I have an endo I’m seeing who calls ME to see how I’m doing. Says he’s “got me in his thoughts”. Does research and all. Problem is I don’t think he’s very good. His name is Dr Scott from Beth Israel. All he wants to do is take blood. I’m probably just expecting too much. No one has answers. What endos have you seen?
