The normal erection process:
1. Something turns you on.
2. The smooth muscle relaxes and blood flows into the penis.
3. When the smooth muscle is completely relaxed, it presses against the tunica and cuts off the veins that take blood out of your penis, as in figure 2.
4. An erection occurs
So, when a penis is flaccid, the smooth muscle is contracted. When the penis is erect, the smooth muscle is completely relaxed and pushing on the tunica.
What I’m guessing is happening in my case and yours, is the smooth muscle is contracting when the penis is erect because of scar tissue/plaque ( thus not holding the blood in )
This means by curing the scar tissue, erections will continue as normal. Meaning we don’t actually have a venous leak, but just the symptoms of a venous leak !
