Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction Due to Venous Leak: VenaThrive® Foam Sclerotherapy Treatment

Have you been diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) due to a venous leak?

Penile venous leak affects 30-80% of patients with ED and is diagnosed with an ultrasound exam. Now, there’s a solution that targets the root cause of penile venous leak: VenaThrive® foam sclerotherapy treatment. Despite decades of research, there is NO commonly accepted treatment for ED due to venous leak.

What is Foam Sclerotherapy?

Foam sclerotherapy is a standard of care, minimally-invasive, walk-in walk-out procedure that is commonly used to treat venous leaks in leg varicose veins. A specialized foam solution is injected through a needle the size of a hair-shaft causing veins to collapse and seal shut, eliminating varicose veins without the need for surgery.

Is Foam Sclerotherapy Treatment FDA-Approved? 

Foam is made from an FDA-approved liquid sclerosant medication. However, after the liquid sclerosant is made into a foam, it is no longer considered FDA-approved. Many non-FDA approved pharmaceuticals and devices are used everyday as “standard of care” treatments. Foam sclerotherapy treatment is not FDA-approved; however, foam sclerotherapy is a standard of care treatment for abnormal veins in the legs and other parts of the body. You should discuss the details, risks, benefits, and alternatives of any medical procedure with your attending physician.

What is VenaThrive® and Who Performs It?

VenaThrive® is a proprietary foam sclerotherapy protocol for treatment of abnormal leg veins developed by Christopher Pittman, M.D., FAVLS, FACR, FACP (Hon), an internationally renowned venous disease authority and expert in Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS). The VenaThrive® procedure for penile venous leak was conceived and developed by Dr. Pittman and is available exclusively at Vein911® Vein Treatment Centers.

Is VenaThrive® Foam Sclerotherapy Treatment of Penile Veins FDA-Approved? 

No. VenaThrive® Foam Sclerotherapy Treatment of penile veins is not FDA-approved. The VenaThrive® procedure is a protocol of administering foam into penile veins conceived and developed by Dr. Pittman, an internationally renowned venous disease authority and expert in Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS). 

How Does It Work for ED?

In cases of erectile dysfunction caused by a venous leak, penile veins fail to maintain sufficient blood pressure within the penis to sustain an erection. VenaThrive® closes off these leaking penile veins, ensuring that blood remains trapped within the erectile tissues, leading to stronger, more sustained erections.

  • Have an ultrasound diagnosis of venous leak.
  • Take Viagra, Cialis, or other PDE5 inhibitor drugs that no longer work.
