Doppler Ultrasound: thoughtfulgold

So, in preparation for what is ever more likely enlargement surgery, I found a way to make a penis ultrasound medically necessary enough that the insurance would cover it. It doesn’t matter whether I need surgery or not. This is an ultrasound log for them considering one.

So let’s go through my personal experience.

First, you go in and you sit down. Then you sign a release to be treated, he injects you with an erection agent (1/15 blends actually) and you sit and wait for the magic to happen.

Second, while the erection is hard and usable it looks like about an 80-90% erection. The glans isn’t hard and the emphasis on expansion is sideways and outward. The CS doesn’t inflate the same as it does naturally and the erection felt different in my hand.

Third, your ultrasound device is a fancy wired wand. So he holds it to an area, has his assistant move the view around and then he freezes frames to take pictures. Ultrasounds are in black and white and I’ve included my images in this and the following posts. However, sadly, his ultrasound machine only printed out results so I had to take pictures of fancy medical polaroids. I did not get a disk with my images to keep as his machine isn’t compatible with them.

And finally, his verdict?

I have a perfect penis. As in my flow numbers and him not finding any scar tissue and my erection function as predicated by the medicine. It literally is textbook perfect according to my uro.

These first pictures are side sectional views with him holding the wand at different angles. These are merely freeze frames, he went over my entire penis and looked at the screen as he did so. These are just highlights. The images he had his assistant freeze that he attached to his report. There are 3 more on my next post, which will describe the events of the ultrasound.

During the ultrasound all was well. It was interesting having an erection that didn’t go down no matter what I thought or what I did. First completely stress free erection I can remember. Stress to perform has always plagued me so it was very interesting indeed.

After the 30 minutes of prodding and note-taking the ultrasound process was done. The doctor told me to hang around until things went down then I’d go home. That…turned out to be more complex than a little.

A half-hour went by. Nothing. He comes to check, not worried, says he’ll give it 20 more minutes and inject me with the ‘antidote’ to the medicine if it doesn’t go down. Me being a PE guy, I knew kegeling and releasing tended to let my erections fade and I figured some kegeling at max tension is like free totally safe clamping, right?

Be whatever flawed logic I used I kegeled and reverse kegeled as much as I could stand. My erection would strain a bit then return to its current state. And 40 minutes later the doctor appeared again (he has other patients yet) and he’s concerned. He injects me with the ‘antidote’ and says he’ll be back in 30 minutes.

This time I don’t bother with any kegels. The time erect by now is around 90 minutes and I’m getting sensitive and it’s starting to hurt. He reiterated, on the first injection, that he didn’t even dose me heavily on the erection inducing agent and usually he has to dose again to get desired results. I had a great result with it and my penis is in good health with no flow issues, exceptional flow in fact, and it is this combination why I’m stuck there…with an induced priapism. He also stresses that we are well within the 6 hour mark so I’m safe.

That…changes…

These pictures are more bottom shaft, CS area views by my best recollection.
Proximal being base
Mid being Midshaft
Distal being beneath the glans

(if I have my terms correct)

The long and short of this, is that since my penis is healthy and I exercise regularly quite heavily my blood pressure and heart rate sit around 120/82 with a 57BPM resting pulse, is that inducing an erection in a healthy man with a healthy penis is a recipe for a priapism.

I was erect as best I could tell, for 3.5 hours. From around 2:40pm to 6:15 or so. And it took a while to go down, even with heavy doses of Phenalephren (spelling?). He injected me a total of 7 times, 3 partial syringes, 4 full ones. It was a bit scary to be honest.

An erection for that long hurts. To touch, squeeze, even if it fucking moves through the air because you moved to stand up. I never thought I was capable of such sensitivity. 1/10th of that level and sex would probably melt my brain. This level made life into a horror show I couldn’t concentrate.

The eventual solution was a 6th injection where after, he palpated me to a semi-flaccid state. OR if you want it in layman’s terms…he firmly gradually squeezed the blood out until I was mostly soft and sort of floppy. Which is awkward and crazy painful but…the option was that or be sent to an Emergency Room to have my penis aspirated. Or manually drained of blood.

Suffice to say that adventure was more than enough for one day. I had no ruler at the office to measure my induced erection but my tired and totally flaccid cock a few hours later did show a 5.75” flaccid girth with just under 6” for a NBP length using my trusty ruler. That was the extent of screwing around I did and any other research and use of products…will wait until another day.

When Viagra (150 mg) no longer worked. I moved on to Trimix injections which worked similarly to whatever erection agent they injected into your dick. However, since my dick has been negatively affected by many years of diabetes, my errections, though as hard as a natural erection, only lasted for 1.5 hours. And, after three years, even a full 100 unit syringe could not generate anything more than a partial chubby. Consider yourself lucky.

Interesting stuff. Seems that the curvature is not caused by any major PD induced fibrosis or calcification.
That would be a relief and a light in the tunnel for further aspirations to straighten the shaft without surgical methods.

What comes in to prostaglandin induced erections, I have been genuinely amazed to read chemical PE threads as there have not been emergency cases more often. In fact the lack of them seems bit weird.

There are several cases already in my extended circle of friends having their own dicks aspired, or having aspired penises by their work in the emergency rooms.
All because of the use of prostaglandins on healthy penises.

I didn’t know they used phenylephrine for priapism. I makes sense, but sounds scary to me; I’d be so worried about ischemia from the vasoconstriction.

Any recollection as to what they used to induce the erection?

Alprostadil is the most common drug used to induce an erection. It is a vasodilator which promotes blood flow in the penis.

That was an interesting story!

Quick questions:
1. What was the way to justify the ultrasound treatment?
2. Do you remember the given dose of the erection agent (Presumably PGE1.)?
3. What are you looking to accomplish with an enlargement surgery considering that you are already at a very respectable 9.13” x 6.125”

I told him I felt bad tingling during erections. Hard spots off and on when I am very hard and experience pain as well as low erection quality with my partner.

Your mileage may vary.

I would not presume. He advised there were 15 different blends of agents he could use for inducing the erection. I may ask him when I see him next but the way he explained this drug is it is not available to the public and I had zero interest in it as it was. Though i may find out name of drug and dose I wouldn’t guess at it.

As I said in the original post, the fact I’m after more isn’t the topic of this thread. So that, I have discussed other places and threads but do not wish to derail this thread with that.

They started checking my blood pressure and heart rate every ten minutes once the doses got high. My blood pressure got to 174/107 and my heart rate dropped to 52 beats per minute at their most extreme ends. These readings were not in tandem.

Do not know the inducing mixture at present.

I can say in my experience that there is no reason for me to believe that inducing one of these erections regularly is a good idea. They hurt badly and the odds of having an uncontrolled priapism event are too high. He made a note that he only gave me a partial dose of the medicine to induce an erection. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been had he given me a full dose. I have no desire to have my penis aspirated.

People can do chemical PE if they want to. I expect that more stories of priapism events will come up if inducing these kind of erections is part of people’s PE regiment.

I do consider myself lucky. everyone told me that my penis would probably be an unhealthy mess with scar tissue. Nothing was further from the truth and I ended up with a best-case priapism event. Academically that means I was very healthy. Inconvenient and painful as it were it was educational.

It is inevitable.

Anyways great to hear your unit is just fine as new after decade of committed abuse.

Thought you were scared of needles. How does a needle in your dick feel?

Would you say it is not a huge learning curve to inject yourself with stuff?

I am not.

Crappy. Like every time it has happened.

I haven’t injected myself and do not see a point in this question. I was injected during the course of an ultrasound. Do you have any questions or comments about the ultrasound?
