Questions patients often ask
Can I tell if I have a venous leak from symptoms?
No. Difficulty maintaining an erection can have several causes, and a clinical evaluation is needed.
Is venous leak the same as erectile dysfunction?
No. ED is a symptom or condition with multiple potential contributors; veno-occlusive dysfunction is one possible mechanism.
Will I need a cavernogram?
Not necessarily. Advanced vascular testing is considered selectively after clinical assessment.
Is embolization a guaranteed cure?
No. Outcomes vary, long-term evidence is limited, and symptoms may persist or recur.
Can I travel to Tampa for an evaluation?
Yes, you may contact the office to discuss availability and logistics before making travel arrangements.
Can I text the practice?
Yes. Text 813-708-8346 to request scheduling information. Avoid including sensitive health information in an ordinary text message.
Can I have a televisit before traveling to Tampa?
You can request an initial virtual consultation. The team will check the state where you will be physically located during the visit, clinician licensing, clinical suitability, and payment or insurance requirements. If in-person testing or treatment is needed, it can be coordinated in Tampa.
