I’ve used the Phoenix for 2 60-day cycles, currently trying a third.

TLDR; venous leak. it’s mildly effective, but I seem to lose benefits a few weeks after stopping the treatment. Starting to use a penis pump daily to help with blood vessel growth without overdoing it


Just a bit on my history

- I have venous leakage. Got a Doppler test done twice a few years apart.
- I can’t keep an erection without stimulation or high arousal
- I can get erections, and Cialis helps with getting them. The venous leak just makes it difficult
-  erection is positional - keeping it while standing is difficult
- Even when hard, my glans is soft and not sensitive (if anyone has dealt with that let me know)


The first 30 days -  I’d get morning wood sometimes and my erections or semi-erections were ‘plumper’. Not a fix, but an improvement. I did shockwave around the venous leak area (base of the penis)

The second 30 days went about the same.

The third 30 days is what I’m on now.  I looked at what the novus clinic podcast/YouTubes recommended

* being diligent about pumping twice a day. The theory is the shockwaves induce healing in the area, and your body can grow blood vessels, but you want to pump to signal they’re being used. Note: it recommends against going too hard or they can break. Any bruising, red dots, etc

* looking at BPC-157. Some kind of healing peptide. I’m iffy on that, if only because of the cost



So far more of the same. i might try the bpc 157 halfway through and on the fourth fully.

Also I think the phoenix uses a focused tip. They sell a concave radial tip as an accessory, but it seems less effective

Let us know how the high settings workout. A couple people are trying higher frequency settings with lower energy. I’ve been doing 10hz 15mj for a bit.


And make sure you’re using the same head as them. I have the sw with a 25mm head and can’t imagine that at 40mj much less 90!

I’ve tried something with a similar concept called Loverband. It acts similar -  a cockring for the upper part of the penis except it’s wrapped around your waist. This looks easier to wear

I have veinous leakage and hadinconsistent results with the lover band. It’s better then a cock ring for me - If anyone gets this let me know how it goes

sensitivity like a lack of? My head has always been really insensitive. I think I came close to orgasm once in my life from oral. It feels nice but that’s usually it

One thing that kind of helped for that was covering my glands (I’m circumcised but have enough foreskin to cover it with a cheap Velcro silk device) and keeping it moisturized. After a day of that I’d be really sensitive for a short time but it doesn’t last that long.

Yeah my handle is intermittently breaking.

It’ll be fine sometimes. But some sessions, the impact goes way down, and then really hard before flipping back to normal.  If I increase/decrease the energy that can sometimes help

What email did you use to contact them?

Worst case.. have there been any other machines a few got that were more consistent?

Have you seen any research on the other two options?

I forgot the name, but they inject something in your penis to dilate the veins and see how blood flows through. For me it wasn’t hard to get erect, but some blood would leak out.

The shot wasn’t too painful (I’ve had blood draws that felt worse), but I was really uncomfortable for 30 mins after

I’m afraid of that too.

One of the urologists I was talking to said External Counterpulsation Therapy might also be effective and am trying to find research down that rabbit hole. It’s hard to find efficacy of things targeting just venous leakage

Not direct experience - I pinged these guys out of curiosity because they specifically had a section on treating Venous Leakage. 

They wanted 3 days to do studies (Lab work, vascular, endograph) which seems fine, and 3 treatment options depending on what they see. 

* EndoStim (Carboxyl Penile Injection Therapy)
*
Neosonic (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy)
* RejuvaHeart (External Counterpulsation Therapy)

The shockwave stuff I'm already trying at home, but I've never heard of the other two. 

Trying to figure out if any of these have merit or this is just sales

Glad it's working for you JChiwood! I tried similar, minus the Tadalfil. 

* 3000 shocks to the penis with ultrasound gel.
- 10HZ and 15-20 MJ with a 20mm head
- 2000 up/down the front of the penis, 1000 to the back (not sure if this matters)
- 1000 to the crura

First week: Every other day
Second week: Twice that week

---

Pros and cons with me:
+ Morning wood is a good deal
+ Erections feel fuller

- Erections still not always fully erect
- I have venous leakage, and that's still an issue. Viagra makes my erections fuller but they'll still spontaneously go away
- Sensitivity more or less the same. Worse with Viagra unfortunately

All-in-all its been a plus, but I'm not sure if its affecting the main problem I have. I'll give it a few more weeks on that and see how it works.
