Injections in the penis to improve potency is a panacea for men who, having tried many drugs, have not achieved a tangible result. Currently, it is one of the most effective methods in the treatment of impotence. During intracavernous injection, the drug is injected directly into the male reproductive organ and has an instant effect.
Depending on the etiology of the disease, there are different types of drugs to enhance erection.
Indications for intracavernous injection
The introduction of drugs directly into the penis is used in cases of pronounced vascular pathologies or with ineffectiveness or intolerance to other drugs.
Intracavernous therapy enhances blood flow into the cavernous bodies of the male reproductive organ and causes sexual arousal without visual or physical stimulation. Moreover, an erection occurs at the request of a man at the right time and for a certain period.
Injections for penis enlargement can be useful if there are the following pathologies:
- impotence against diabetes mellitus;
- disturbances in the endocrine system that caused hormonal disruptions;
- various deviations in the vascular and urological sphere;
- atherosclerosis of the arteries of the penis;
- brain and spinal cord injuries;
- premature ejaculation.
If sexual arousal is absent on nerve soil, then intracavernous injections will not give the expected result. In this case, complex therapy with a mandatory visit to a psychotherapist is indicated. With all other pathologies, treatment helps to significantly increase libido and restore sexual activity to a man.
In addition to the treatment of a wide range of diseases, injections of vasodilator drugs in the penis are used to diagnose erectile dysfunction. For example, injections are made during ultrasound of the penis, when a pharmacological erection is necessary.
Injection Products
Currently, various medications of Russian and foreign manufacture are used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction: Edex, Papaverine, prostaglandin E1, Vazoprostan, Caverage, as well as their combination - Beamix and Trimix.
However, Papaverine was most widely used as a cheap, affordable and effective remedy. Only a doctor can choose and prescribe a medicine for an intracavernous procedure, based on the causes of impotence and concomitant diseases.
An injection of papaverine in the penis relieves the tension of the smooth muscles of the penis, contributing to the expansion of blood vessels and increased blood flow. Sometimes the drug is used in conjunction with phentolamine and prostaglandin. The use of Papaverine in practice has shown its high effectiveness in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
How do injections work?
After the drug is introduced into the penis, vasodilation and blood circulation improve. After 5-15 minutes, a persistent erection occurs, which lasts at least 1 hour. Moreover, the excitement is observed in the complete absence of any erotic effects.
Injections into a member of vasodilator drugs contribute to:
- Increase sexual desire.
- Persistence and duration of an erection.
- Muscle gain .
- Improvement of blood circulation in the penis.
- Improving self-esteem.
Medicinal injections can be done three times a week to avoid persistent pain and scarring.
Intracavernous procedures are recommended for men with diabetes mellitus and blood vessel pathologies, since they do not increase blood pressure.
Injection preparation
Before conducting drug therapy, the patient must undergo an ultrasound scan. This will exclude fibrosis of the cavernous bodies of the penis and Peyronie's disease.
For all patients at the beginning of treatment, it is necessary to select the minimum dose of the drug that causes an erection for a period of not more than one hour. The practical use of papaverine also requires strict titration, which serves as an additional preparation of the patient for self-administration of autoinjections.
To determine the optimal dose, it is necessary to carry out at least three injections of the drug in a hospital setting. During this time, the patient will understand what an injection in the penis is, how to do it correctly and painlessly.
To carry out intracavernous therapy at home, you need to purchase:
- medication for injection;
- syringe with a needle "Luer" 0.45x15 mm (insulin syringe);
- latex gloves.
Features of the intracavernous procedure
Injections in the penis are most often carried out by a man on his own. In this case, the patient can stand, sit or lie.
The injection needle should be aimed in the middle of the corpora cavernosa. Head, urethra, and subcutaneous administration should be avoided. For this, a syringe is inserted into the base of the penis at an angle of 90 °. Injection of the drug must be done in good light to reduce the likelihood of puncture of the venous walls and the development of bruising.
When using the Luer needle 0.45x15 mm, it is inserted over the entire length. In this case, the patient may be calm - the needle will not go too deep. Penetration of the needle into the penis should be accompanied by slight resistance.
At the time of administration of the drug, a man may experience a slight burning sensation, which quickly passes. Severe pain and resistance with the introduction of the drug indicate its entry into the subcutaneous tissue.
If the injection is done correctly, then after removing the needle there should be no bruising or bleeding. In the event of a hematoma, it is recommended to squeeze the injection site or make several massage movements to disperse the medicine. After 5-15 minutes, an erection will occur.
Contraindications
Before the appointment of intracavernous injections, a complete medical examination of the patient is necessary. Injections into the penis, like any other procedures, have a number of contraindications:
- Congenital pathologies of the male genital organ.
- Allergy to a drug.
- Fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa.
- Penis curvature.
- Peyronie's disease.
- Alcohol addiction.
An injection in the penis to enhance or prolong excitement should not be done to patients who previously did not have problems with an erection.
Complications
Despite the effectiveness of intracavernous procedures, injection treatment is not entirely safe and can lead to the development of cavernous fibrosis or priapism, curvature of the penis, and scars at the injection sites. In rare cases, there is an increase in liver enzymes, which occurs in about 10% of cases.
