“Hello. I’m Dr. Leena, and today we’re going to talk about penile injections for erectile dysfunction, or ED.
This treatment may sound intimidating at first, but for many men, it can be a highly effective and reliable option — especially when oral medications don’t work.”
What Are ED Injections?
“Erectile dysfunction injections are medications that are delivered directly into the penile tissue. The goal is to improve blood flow, helping you achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity.
The most commonly used medicines include:
- Alprostadil
- Papaverine
- Phentolamine
Often, a combination of these—called Trimix—is used. These medications work by relaxing smooth muscles and dilating blood vessels.”
How Do You Use Them?
“Administering the injection may seem daunting, but with proper training, it becomes manageable. Here’s a general overview:
Wash your hands and prepare a sterile syringe with your prescribed dose.
Choose an injection site on the side of the shaft—not the top, bottom, or head.
Insert the needle straight into the chosen site.
Inject slowly, then remove the needle and apply gentle pressure with a cotton swab.
The erection typically begins within 5 to 15 minutes and can last 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the dose.”
Does It Hurt? Are There Side Effects?
“Most men report minimal discomfort — a small pinch, at most.
However, you should be aware of possible side effects:
Mild pain or bruising at the injection site
Scar tissue with repeated use (if sites aren’t rotated)
Priapism — an erection lasting more than 4 hours, which requires immediate medical attention
Using the correct dose and proper technique greatly reduces these risks.”
Who Can Benefit from ED Injections?
“This treatment is typically considered when oral medications like Sildenafil or Tadalafil don’t work.
It’s especially effective in men with:
- Nerve damage (such as post-prostate surgery)
- Severe vascular issues
- Diabetes-related ED
It’s also a preferred option for those who want an on-demand solution with high reliability.”
“If you or your partner are dealing with ED, don’t lose hope. Injections are just one of several effective options available today. With proper guidance, many men find success — and confidence — with this method.
