Suggest Treatment For Blocked Artery In Penis

default
Posted on Tue, 28 Jul 2015
Question: I have a blocked artery in my penis. My one doctor says that even with a diet filled with circulatory advantageous foods, exercise, etc., there is no known cure to guarantee the artery will be unclogged someday. Surgery has proven unsuccessful in many cases for blockages in that area. What could I do naturally to unclog this penile artery? Would you recommend a product like Angioprim to cleared block arteries? What is a natural (non drug, non surgery) way to unclog an artery in the penis that has led to some ED for me?

Brief Answer:
Unfortunately there is no medicine that can unclog penile artery

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are facing problem of ED due to blocked penile artery.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Have you confirmed that your penile artery is blocked by doing Penile Doppler Sca or Angiography? if so will you be able to upload details of the report.?

The problem of ED at this age is mostly due to generalizes atherosclerosis that involves penile artery too leading to arterial insufficiency and reduced blood flow to penis causing ED.

Unfortunately there are no medications that can clear off the atherosclerotic patches and improve blood flow to penis .Even the results of the surgery are not encouraging .

Angioprim that you have asked about is effective in some patients but there are no scientific data published so far .You can certainly try it .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

Yes. I had a vascular (Urovascular Pressure Profile exam) & Urovascular Duplex Scan done. They said there is an absence of detectable blood flow in the right dorsal artery at rest. I can fax or scan and email the 2 page report to you. My doctor is recommending (as a temporary solution) injecting needles of Caverjet into the penis. Long term, he is recommending surgery for a penile prosthesis implant to ensure erection, a pump, if you will. Before I decide to go that route, I want to make sure there is not a natural way (foods, herbs, garlic, pomegranate, exercise, acupuncture, etc.) that will open the artery without needing an implant. Let me know how I can fax or email the 2 page vascular results to you. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
No medicines or diet can improve blood flow to penis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feedback I have understood the problem that you have complete blockage of Rt penile artery .There is no medicine or any food stuff that can dissolve the atherosclerotic patch and restore blood flow to penis .

The use of intracavernosal Caverjet injection or pellets in urethra have their own limitations,complications and hazards.

Looking at you age of 61 years and long term perspective penile implant is a very good option which will give sexual satisfaction to both of you and to have enjoyable sex for rest of your life .

Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
