If you are a man who suffers from impotence, or other sexual performance complications, there is no doubt you have become overwhelmed by the various treatment options recommended by your urologist. From prescription drugs, for example, hyper male force to implants to injections and even natural remedies, men across the United States are equally frustrated with the options available and the stress associated with making the right choice for their sex life.
One such sexual performance treatment includes a procedure commonly referred to as penile injection therapy. Medically, this procedure is termed the Intracorporeal pharmacotherapy or ICP for short. In theory, this injection therapy procedure, for men with impotence complication, would self-inject medication into the penis and, thereafter, experience a healthy sexual experience. But, for many men, the thought of injection their own penis is often a sexual deal-breaker in and of itself.
For some men, however, penile injection therapy is the only option for improving sexual performance. Unable to use oral prescription medications, these men will utilize the injection, containing prescription Caverject, to create the perfect erection and optimal sexual performance. Unfortunately, the cost associated with each injection is almost as painful as the actual injection itself.
Still, for men who suffer from impotence, the results from the use of penile injection therapy have proven quite successful in restoring the penile erection, often to the same degree as what they may have experienced in their youth. When initially using penile injection therapy, however, it may take several injection sessions before the right level of medication is dosed to acquire the level of erection desired. With this factor, involving “trial and error” in dosing, coupled with the lack of sexual spontaneity associated with injections and, also, the associated cost, many men will use penile injection therapy to treat impotence, only to fall off of the treatment program within the first year.
Complications associated with penile injection therapy may include a prolonged erection that is painful and the development of small, nodule-like, scar tissue at the injection site. This reason, in addition to the others mentioned, may also leave many men to search for other options in treating impotence.
As with any sexual performance complication, the key to your successful treatment will lie in the early diagnosis and intervention. When unable to use oral medications, and after making lifestyle changes to improve the complications of impotence, if you continue to suffer from a lack of sexual performance, the use of penile injection therapy may be appropriate. Discuss this option with your urologist and know that this is only one of many options in treating sexual dysfunctions in men
