Impotence Injection

Using injections to generate erections is a treatment that was first used in the earl y 1990s, and has proved to be an extremely effective treatment for impotence ever since. At that time, the drug that was injected into the corpora cavernosa of the penis (two chambers filled with sponge like erectile tissue) was papaverine, which was a drug used during surgery to dilate blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels in this way, the drug enabled an injection to cause the penis to become engorged with blood, resulting in an erection.

Since those early days, advancements in drug treatment for impotence  have enabled impotence injections to become increasingly successful.  Nowadays, it is most common for a ‘cocktail’ of three drugs to be used.  The original paperavine is now commonly mixed with alprostadil (a synthetic version of prostaglandin, which is a natural human hormone) and phentolamine. Combining these drugs has led to significant improvements in effectiveness over the original usage of one single
drug.

The injections themselves are usually rendered with very fine needles, the kind of needles that diabetics use to inject themselves with insulin.  It is said that the injections are painless. The drugs that are to be injected must be prescribed by a doctor, and it is normal for the doctor to demonstrate the injection process the first time, both as a way of ensuring that it is done correctly but also to check that the dosage is suitable.

As long as the dosage is correct, an erection should begin within 10 to 15 minutes, and will generally last for between 60 and 90 minutes. However, it is important to note that men who have had impotence injections report priapism fairly regularly, and as previously highlighted, if the erection lasts for more than two or three hours, medical attention should be sought as quickly as possible.

It is generally recommended that you do not inject more than two or three times a week, and there are health risks if you have pre-existing medical conditions like sickle cell anemia or leukemia.  While impotence injections are extremely effective, you are injecting invasive drugs into an extremist sensitive part of your anatomy. There is therefore no way that impotence injections could ever be considered
to be a natural treatment for the condition.
