Hello,

Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com.

There is no such direct relation between pelvic pain and erectile dysfunction.

These is a possibility that due to pain during erection you avoid it. If your penile doppler study is showing venous leak then it is a major issue because treatment for venous leak is penile implant. With penile implant you can have normal erection and your penile length and girth will be maintained. We can also enhance your penile length and girth by surgery. You can try oral medicines initially for medication if you get any improvement inform me, if not plan for penile implant/prosthesis.

Hope this helps, please feel free to discuss further.

Hello,

I can understand the trouble you are going through. I suggested penile implant on the basis of your penile doppler study which showed venous leak. Pelvic pain syndrome patient rarely complains of loss of erection. They can get painful erections. My suggestions is take good pain killer for some time with muscle relaxant and get your penile doppler study repeated.

Dear patient,
If you have severe erectile dysfunction with venous leak then best treatment for you is penile implant. If you want you can try intra penile injections. Penile implants have long life and infection rate is as low as 2% .
