What about penile injections?
Posted on April 27, 2008
The article describes the three medications used for the
relief of erectile dysfunction that are delivered by penile injection. Only
one, prostaglandin E1, has FDA approval but all three are available for on- or
off-label use.
This is a topic that
every man approaches with a degree of fear. You mean someone is going to stick
a needle into my penis? For the record, they are called intracavernous injections
and your physician will give you an auto-injector that works with a simple
push-button mechanism. You hold the head of your penis and stretch it along
your thigh while sitting upright. You have to make the injection at the base of
the penis (or you can ask your partner to do it for you). Although it is an
area that is sensitive to pleasure, it does not register too much pain. The
sensation is no worse that being flicked with an elastic band. After the
injection, you have to apply pressure to the injection site with an alcohol
swab for about five minutes (or until the bleeding stops). You should aim for a
slightly different point for each injection, rotating the penis a little if
necessary. This will reduce the risk of bruising or scarring. The erection
usually lasts for about an hour.
Hmmm. This needs
thought! Why can I not simply pop a , they produce erections that are close
to the body’s own spontaneous erections and allow you to have an orgasm and an
ejaculation. The erections last for between thirty minutes and two hours which
is normally long enough for sexual intercourse to be satisfying. This is a
cost-effective alternative to the more expensive and invasive surgical option.
The only drawback is that the use of the injections is usually limited to three
or four times per week to reduce the risk of scarring to your penis.
