10 Years of Severe ED, Reversed at Age 80
22 Sept 2026 · 12 min
In this solo podcast episode, Dr. Anne Truong, an intimate‑health physician and author of Erectile Dysfunction Fix, presents a detailed case study of an 80‑year‑old widower who had suffered a decade of severe erectile dysfunction (ED) with penile atrophy, hypertension, high cholesterol, an enlarged prostate, low testosterone, and a prior coronary stent. Dr. Truong explains why conventional ED pills failed—vascular damage, fibrotic smooth muscle, and loss of tissue elasticity—necessitating a structural, multi‑modal intervention rather than symptom‑focused medication. She outlines the “Get Hard System,” a comprehensive protocol combining focused shockwave therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment, platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections, Botox, pelvic‑floor neuromuscular stimulation, a traction device, an electric penis pump, testosterone‑replacement pellets, low‑dose tadalafil (5 mg daily), and lifestyle changes (Mediterranean diet, 8,000 daily steps). Over 9–12 months the patient’s penis grew from ~3 inches to ~8 inches, regained morning erections, and achieved functional erections with only tadalafil. Dr. Truong uses the case to argue that ED is not an inevitable part of aging but a treatable condition when root causes—blood flow, muscle health, and architecture—are addressed. She promotes an in‑office, high‑cost ($16,000) version of the protocol for high‑income men willing to travel to Virginia, and also advertises a lower‑cost “Modern Man Club” online program. The episode ends with calls to action directing listeners to several URLs (noedman.com, renewwithdranne.com, sexualhealthformenpodcast.com) and emphasizes the Mediterranean diet as a supportive lifestyle component.

Hello there, modern man. In today's episode, we're gonna give you a case study of an 80-year-old man with 10-year history of ED and how I was able to get him to functioning again.
This podcast is for you, the modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and bestselling author of the book Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started and be sure to visit my Visit our website at sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.
Most men are told that after a decade of severe ED, especially in their 70s or 80s, the door is closed. The tissue is atrophied, the blood vessels are permanently damaged, and the tiny blue pill is at the end of its road. Well, I want to tell you about a story for an 80-year-old widower who sat down in my clinic. He hasn't had a functional erection in 10 years, and he was dealing with penile retraction, where the penis retracted to the foreskin. He has high blood pressure, enlarged prostate, and low testosterone, and medication had completely stopped working for him. And today, his penis has regenerated. The retraction is gone, and he is waking up with natural morning erection. And just on 5 milligrams of tadalafil.
How do we do it?
We just didn't chase the symptom. We restored the tissue, blood flow, and architecture using the Get Hard System. Here's exactly step-by-step breakdown on how we reverse a decade of severe ED in an 80-year-old man. Most men think losing peak performance is just getting old. I would tell you it's not. There's a natural proven protocol doctors rarely talk about that will restore your confidence without side effects. It is called the My Get Hard System. And you can get that by joining the Modern Man Club today. Go to noedman.com. That's noedman.com.
And I'll see you there.
To understand why the Get Hard System worked, you first have to understand why standard medicine failed him. After losing his wife, he decided he wasn't ready to surrender his vitality, but his clinical picture was complex. A decade history of severe ED, vascular complications or blood flow complications from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, that he's on losartan and rosuvastatin. He had low testosterone and an enlarged prostate, and he also presented clinically with penile atrophy. That because of his ED and many years of not having an erection, his shaft was physically retracting inside the foreskin due to chronic lack of oxygenated blood flow. When smooth muscle doesn't receive regular erection, it becomes scar tissue or fibrotic. It shrinks, it scars down, and it loses its elasticity. So a patient like this and a standard ED pill wouldn't work. Because the tissue isn't healthy enough to hold the blood, even if you chemically signal it to open up. So our objective wasn't a quick fix. It was structural and rebuild to restore size, to restore muscle tone, and restore blood flow again. Quick note before we go any further. If you're a high-income man, usually the age between 45 to 85, and you're ready to to invest to fix your ED without relying on pills or surgery, I have the Get Hard Protocol, in-office program where we treat you in Virginia. We combine stem cells, shockwave, Botox, hormones, and lifestyle to help restore natural erection.
It's not for everyone.

Keep enjoying this video and check out our Modern Man Club at NoEDMan.com. Let's look at this picture and find out what is the cause of this patient. So if you look at this picture here, I said ED is multifactorial. It could be blood flow, It could be nerve, it could be hormones, it could be mental, and it could be due to lifestyle and medication. So in this particular case, let's call him John number 2. It's blood flow for sure. It's most likely not nerve because he's not a diabetic. He doesn't have any type of trauma. It is definitely hormone because he has low testosterone and not medication-induced.
But he is 80 years old and he does have a history of a stent in 2012. He does have an enlarged prostate, and he has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So in summary, he has poor blood flow and low testosterone. So how do we reverse this level of atrophy of the penis? So we systemically address it by blood flow and smooth muscle health through the Get Hard System.
So it's a multi-layer approach. That we implemented in the clinic.
Number 1, we use focused shockwave and pulsed electromagnetic therapy. First, we stimulate more blood flow through using platelet-rich plasma, focused shockwave that deliver to the penile tissue, breaking down the microclots and triggering cellular growth. Pairing this with pulsed electromagnetic therapy stimulates cellular energy. And microcirculation of the muscle. And we also use the Kegel machine to stimulate the pelvic floor muscle as well. Now, I mentioned using platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. We harvested this from his own blood, and it then is injected directly into the corpus cavernosa, which encourages tissue remodeling and repair of the scar and damaged blood vessels and also muscles as well. Now, Botox injection helps with the severe retraction because it helps relax the smooth muscle. Also, it helps with increasing more blood flow and decreasing sympathetic activity, allowing the tissue to relax more and increasing more blood flow to the area. And you heard me talk about pelvic floor stimulation, right? So doing pelvic floor stimulation such as Kegel Exercise with our neuromuscular machine, train the pelvic muscle to bring in more blood flow and keeping the blood in the penile tissue. In the clinic, we fix the cause of the problem. And how do we do that? Bring in more blood flow, remodeling the tissue. Then I give him a traction device that he wears, the traction device on his penis for about— 2 weeks. 4 hours every night along with using an electric pump. And what that does is that the electric pump bring in more blood to the penis, bring in more oxygen, so it help the penis to stretch out. And then the traction device, what it does, it helps stretch out the corpus cavernosum so that way it will increase in size again. So by doing that, we're able to increase the corpus cavernosum so it doesn't retract inside The foreskin anymore. Then he also put in the work. He walked 8,000 steps a day. He followed the Mediterranean diet, and he does his homework with traction device and also the penis pump. So the result, well, this is where he's at today. Now, I'll be honest, it took him about 9 months to a year to get there because he's had such severe ED and also the muscle atrophy. It takes some time. Well, we also give him testosterone replacement therapy through pellets. And now, after his work with the traction and the penis pump, his penis no longer retracts inside the foreskin. He's gone back to his usual size. Before, he was about a 3-inch. Now, with pumping, he's now almost 8-inch in length at this time. And most importantly, he's beginning to have morning erection again. And he's able to actually achieve an erection with just daily tadalafil 5 milligrams at this point. That's it. And this is in an 80-year-old man with a decade of severe ED, high cholesterol, low testosterone, penile atrophy, and even a stent and an enlarged prostate. So he's able to restore erection. He's having morning wood with just low-dose tadalafil. So this proved one fundamental truth. Erectile dysfunction is not an inevitable part of aging. It's a condition of blood flow, muscular, and architectural decline. And if you apply the systematic approach like the Get Hard Protocol to address the root cause of the problem, so you are resolving ED on a permanent basis to allow erection to return again. That's why I created the Get Hard Protocol to really address the root cause of ED, and that's how you can get rid of ED and have a fix that you can continue the rest of your life. So men, you don't have to live with ED. It can be treated. There are options.
