Self-Injections
Until a few years
ago, a common treatment of tumescence
problems was the direct injection of
medication into the penis. Needless to
say, the medication had to be prescribed
by a physician after a thorough physical
examination. This may still be the
treatment of choice for some men, but
the development of "potency pills" has
allowed many others to switch.
The
injection of certain drugs into the
penis itself can produce an erection
that will last long enough. Most
commonly used are
Papaverine,
a combination of
Papaverine and Phentolamine,
and
Prostaglandin E1.
Actually, strictly speaking, this is a
form of self-treatment: The patient
injects himself into the sides of the
penis. In order to avoid damage to the
penis, it is important that the correct
dosage is not exceeded.
