penile injections

Penile injections are a treatment for erectile dysfunction where medication is injected directly into the penis to help achieve an erection. The most common drugs used are alprostadil, papaverine, or phentolamine. They work by relaxing blood vessels and muscles, increasing blood flow to the penis. The procedure is typically done in a healthcare setting or oneself after proper training, with effects usually occurring within 5 to 20 minutes and lasting about 30 to 60 minutes. It’s considered effective for many men when other treatments haven't worked, but it requires careful technique to ensure safety and effectiveness.
