• High blood pressure
• Elevated cholesterol levels
• Diabetes
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Excessive stress
• Obesity
• Family history of atherosclerosis
• Smoking
• Anxiety

A Doppler ultrasound is used to assess blood flow in and out of the penis. Cavernosography, with the help of radiographic contrast, is performed to visualize venous leakage.

1. Oral Medications: 
Commonly prescribed medications, such as Viagra or Cialis, work by enhancing blood flow to the penis; however, they may not target the root cause of erectile dysfunction (ED).

2. Vacuum Constriction Devices:   
These mechanical devices work by creating a vacuum that draws blood into the penis, assisting in achieving an erection. However, they may feel cumbersome to use and lack spontaneity.

3. Intracavernosal Self-Injection: Medications injected directly into the penis can help induce an erection, though they may cause discomfort and require precise administration.

4. Penile Implants:
Surgical options involve implanting devices within the penis to enable erections. Although effective, this method is invasive, may be painful, and requires a substantial recovery period.

5. Lifestyle Changes:
Suggested changes typically include enhancing diet, increasing physical activity, and addressing underlying health issues. While beneficial, these approaches may take time to yield results and may not fully resolve ED for all patients.

For treating erectile dysfunction, non-surgical options like medication or pump devices are often recommended but generally serve as temporary solutions without addressing the root cause.

We provide a surgical treatment known as endovascular embolisation (retrograde/anterograde), performed under light sedation. This minimally invasive procedure allows for same-day discharge with minimal pain, no visible scarring, and a quick recovery.

Ideal for patients with venous leaks who prefer to avoid traditional surgery, the procedure involves embolising the periprostatic venous plexus. A thin catheter is inserted through the deep dorsal or femoral vein, guided by X-ray fluoroscopy to the affected area. Small titanium coils and embolic agents are then injected to permanently seal off the leaking vein(s).

Venous Leak Embolization is a cutting-edge, evidence-based technique designed to minimize risks while maximizing effectiveness. This treatment boasts a high success rate, with numerous patients experiencing notable improvements in symptoms and quality of life. This revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure addresses the root cause of ED related to venous leaks, offering a transformative option for those who have not achieved results with traditional ED treatments.

1. Targeted Solution:
Directly addresses the root cause by sealing leaking veins for a more effective treatment.

2. Minimally Invasive:
Guided by advanced imaging, this procedure avoids major surgery, involves minimal pain, and leaves no visible scar.

3. Quick Recovery:
Patients generally experience minimal downtime and can resume regular activities within a few days.

4. Long-Lasting Results:
Embolization effectively halts venous leaks, promoting sustained erections and enhanced sexual satisfaction.

5. Personalised Approach:
Each treatment is customized to the patient’s unique condition, optimizing the chances of a successful outcome.

1. Consultation & Assessment:
A comprehensive evaluation with our specialist to confirm if a venous leak is the underlying cause.

2. Preparation:
The procedure is performed under light sedation, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.

3. Guided Embolization:
With the aid of imaging, the specialist inserts a catheter through a small incision, directing it precisely to the leaking veins in the pelvic area.

4. Sealing The Vein:
A specialized embolic agent is applied to close off the veins, preventing blood loss and promoting better retention during erections.

Venous Leak Embolization is ideal for men who:
1. Have ED caused specifically by venous leak.

2. Have not experienced satisfactory results from medications or conventional treatments.

3. Are looking for a long-term, minimally invasive solution.
