When blood fills two chambers in the penis (known as the corpora cavernosa) an erection occurs. This causes the penis to expand and stiffen, much like a balloon as it is filled with water. The process is triggered by nerve impulses from the brain and genital area. Anything that interferes with these impulses or restricts blood flow to the penis can result in erectile dysfunction.

The diagnosis veno-occlusive disease may be confirmed by dynamic pharmacologic cavernosography. Therefore, a 21-G needle is inserted into the corpora following intracavernosal injection of 20 μg prostaglandin E1. After ~30 min intracorporal power injection of 120 ml of a 50% solution of non-ionic contrast agent is performed with a flow rate of 2 ml/s. On cavernosography, potential sites of venous leakage can be identified: Deep dorsal vein, cavernosal veins, internal pudendal veins, periprostatic plexus, external pudendal veins, or iliac veins. Diagnosis confirmation of veno-occlusive dysfunction includes demonstration of venous leakage on cavernosography and associated absence of sufficient penile rigidity.

Can’t or don’t want to take ED drugs? The vacuum pump method is the next most common choice among men with erectile dysfunction who pass on pills, says Dr. Bennett. To create an erection, you place a plastic cylinder over the penis and pump the air out of the cylinder to force blood to flow into the penis. An elastic ring that you slide onto the base of your penis holds the erection. This ED treatment device is effective for about 75 percent of men. Side effects include numbness, bruising, and weak ejaculation — and the ring must be removed after 30 minutes.
