#### Name of the Condition
- Corporo-venous occlusive erectile dysfunction
- Also known simply as "venous leakage"

#### Summary
- Corporo-venous occlusive erectile dysfunction is a type of erectile dysfunction (ED) where the veins in the penis fail to restrict blood flow during an erection, leading to difficulties in maintaining or achieving an erection.

#### Causes
- Physical injury to the pelvic area
- Vascular diseases affecting blood flow
- Aging and tissue changes within the penile structure

#### Risk Factors

#### Diagnosis
- Physical examination and medical history review
- Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) tests to assess erections during sleep
- Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow in the penis

#### Treatment Options
- Medications such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil) to improve blood flow
- Vacuum erection devices that increase blood flow mechanically
- Surgical options, including penile vascular surgery, to correct venous leak
- Counseling or therapy if psychological factors contribute

#### Prognosis and Follow-Up
