Are there any medications one can inject to
enhance erections?
Sure. The prostaglandin derivative alprostadil
has been around for several decades. It is used by people who have had a stroke
or some other neurological disorder. The medication is administered by a tiny
needle that is inserted into the muscles of the penis. The erection, if it
occurs, usually last 45-60 mins. Because patients with paralysis have no
sensation, pain is not felt during injection.
However, use of this needle in
normal people can be quite painful. (If you do not believe me, take a needle
and stick in your penis and you will soon find out how painful this can be)
Repeat injections of this medication is associated with scar formation.
Finally, despite the hype, this medication works in less than 10% of patients.
Why it does not work in everyone is a mystery. It is also very expensive.
Definitely not recommended for anyone.
