Well, very few know that priapism activates the HIF-1 pathway that makes the adipose-derived mesenchimal stem cells migrate from the brown fat tissue to the hypoxic tissue, thus bringing angiogenic growth factors to the penis, allowing the corpora cavernosa to actually grow larger and longer in a short timeframe, but since of course a 4-hour-long priapism leads to tissue necrosis, it's interesting to induce a controlled semi-priapism lasting for a consecutive hour through a single Vacurect session (with the penis kept in erectile state and while also doing some Kegel contractions to make the glans accustom itself to the increased negative pressure, or, rather, decreased pressure) and then just wash the edema off with cold water (adding heat shock proteins to the tissue) and applying the Andractim DHT gel on the glans and prepuce only. This is the most rapid way to make permanent erect gains.

I haven't heard of this previously, but I would be interested in reading any academic literature you have on the topic, as I always enjoy learning new things that may help my patients. Please feel free to email me any information from credible, peer-reviewed sources, and I would be happy to discuss it further. My email is [e-mail].

Thanks for this video. I have written to you on the Restorex video as well. I had a priapism that lasted 6 hours before being aspirated. My question is have you seen any long term effects with erections with your patients at this mark. I am 41. In my case i do see i have lost some sensitivity of the penis and my penis has become a bit limp. Though i do get erections with pde5. I have been rehabilitating with pde5 for last 8months. I however now see a slight bend at the base of the penis. I intend to use restorex both to address the bend and the slight tissue shrinkage due to priapism. Would i run any risk or danger?

Thanks for taking the time to leave a message, I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond! Having a priapism that lasts for 6 hours is not ideal however should not have caused much damage. We always tell patients to start taking action at 2 hours of an extended erection so it is resolved by the 6-8 hours. If men left it to 6 hours to start getting help then we would be in trouble. If you have some Peyronies/scaring then this would impede the blood flow to the end of shaft so using a Restorex would be helpful in breaking this down: melissahadleybarrett.com/product/restorex-penile-traction-therapy-device/ It would also be good to take Curcumin supplement (turmeric) as it is a natural anti inflammatory herb with good evidence to support it. If you need more information on Peyronies, I have created an online video program that you can check out here: melissahadleybarrett.com/peyronies-program/

@@melissahadleybarrett thanks a lot for taking time out to reply with this. I was aspirated at exactly 6 hour mark as the priapism was coused by the urologist himself when doing a penile Doppler on me. Noted.
