so I wanted to update everyone on some fibrosis remedies that will work for us
from the research I've done (sorry, can't be bothered for links atm, you're gonna have to look it up on your own until I have some time to dig again. I'm gonna start collecting links for my write up when I post my protocol on what worked for recovering me) here's what I'm taking/doing and what I would rec for increasing blood flow and preventing/reversing penile fibrosis:
as far as supplements, all of these will increase blood flow, NO or reinstate neural connections. There was scientific literature on each of these sups that I found, if you google their names with fibrosis, erectile dysfunction or blood flow you may be able to find the studies I found:
l-arginine, low dose cialis (5mg eod,), ecklovian cava, alpha lipoic acid, tumeric extract, taurine, tribulus.
next, I'd rec doing massages, stretches and lots of aerobic exercise that will increase blood flow to your genitals and pelvic floor. releasing pelvic floor tension can be a huge part of blood supply issues. google techniques to get blood flow into genitals, prostate, pelvic floor. additionally, lots of aerobic exercise will control insulin and supply blood to where your body needs it. getting a pump (bathmate?) and stimulating blood flow to your penis manually is also necessary. don't let your junk sit around getting cold, it will lead to more fibrosis.
finally, you must have your diet on point. I juice almost every morning and don't eat until I get truly hungry. high carbs will mess with your insulin and make it challenging for blood to reach extremities. I had constantly cold hands, feet and penis while in the worst of PFS. these symptoms are commonly seen with diabetics who have bad blood supply due to insulin resistance. insulin resistance will cause ed through bad blood flow, but it will also kill nerve connections and kill sensitivity. you know why diabetics often have hands or feet amputated? because their blood supply is all messed up from insulin resistance and when they get a wound on a body part with bad blood supply, your body has trouble fighting infection and fibrosis. this is what is happening with our dicks. chances are, I bet any of you with ED issues also have freezing hands and feet. even brain fog can be explained by bad blood supply/insulin resisitance. you must get your insulin under control by limiting carbs and not binge eating.
this goes the same with fats, there are a lot of healthy fats, of course, but you need to eat in moderation, binge eating will mess with your blood pressure, cholest, and make all of your symptoms worse if you're not getting proper blood supply. diet was such a huge part of my symptoms and was the hardest to change because the foods we eat are so addicting, but a lot of them are killing us quite literally. ultimately, you must really regulate what your body needs, nothing more, nothing less. you should aim to maintain a healthy body weight and consume around the amount of calories your body needs every day.
I believe everyone's pfs may be different, but for those who have insulin resistance symptoms, this will cure your sexual sides eventually. If you go hyper/hypoglycemic, you will benefit immensely from getting your diet under control. I didn't realize how bad my blood sugar issues were. I've seen a lot of progress, it is slow, but it is happening. my penis is actually warm,pink and happy again lol, whereas it was cold,white and unresponsive for most of my PFS experience.
all of these things are equally important together, if you aren't exercising and eating right, the supp's wont matter. this is a holistic process, you must commit fully or you can't expect a recovery. I dicked off a lot during this time and could have recovered within months instead of going on 15+ now if I was more disciplined and educated. the longer you put off doing what you need to do, the longer you'll be stuck here and the more damage you will be doing. unfortunately, fibrosis can become permanent, the sooner you get at this the better chance you have at fully recovering. currently, my shaft is basically recovered, put the head of my penis, the corpus cavernous, is still missing a lot of sensitivity, blood flow and could have leakage. some days are better than others, and I'm seeing progress like I said, so I have a lot of hope, my libido is fully back before PFS and fibrosis is the last thing I'm really dealing with. otherwise it's just manage. I'll be posting a full protocol of what I did soon. good luck guys.
