Penile injection therapy is the most effective non-surgical method for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Penile injection therapy for erectile dysfunction is used as a second-line therapy when oral medications have failed. Typically, in the office, we prescribe a potent three-drug combination injection consisting of phentolamine, alprostadil, and papaverine. The injection is placed by the patient or his partner in the lateral aspect of the penis towards the base and under optimal conditions results in an automatic erection within 3-5 minutes. The medication works by causing relaxation of the smooth muscle in the blood vessels of the penis thereby allowing increased blood flow and subsequently an erection. There is an increased risk with penile injection therapy for priapism (a sustained erection lasting longer than 4 hours) and therefore dosing for penile injection therapy must be titrated carefully by a urologist.
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction is when ED is caused by emotional rather than physical factors. Anxiety, depression, and stress can both cause by themselves and contribute to erectile dysfunction. Although psychological counseling may be helpful, psychogenic ED can often be resolved with stress management and supportive care. Temporary treatment with oral medications is often very helpful as well.
When considering lifestyle changes as an approach to correct erectile dysfunction, consideration of habits that may be contribute to the condition needs to be addressed. These include:
A physician's review of the medications you are presently taking may result in changes to them especially if they are known to cause erectile dysfunction.
Non-invasive treatments that include the use of oral medications such as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra are all proven to improve blood flow to the penis by working directly on the blood vessels. They allow the arteries to expand to produce an erection. Note that while widely available today, they do not work for 20 to 30 percent of men.
Vacuum pump therapy may be prescribed as a non-invasive alternative. The pump device is placed over the penis and a vacuum is created mechanically enhancing the flow of blood into the penis. A rubber ring placed at the base of the penis helps to maintain the blood maintaining the erection. These cannot be prescribed for patients with bleeding disorders, are on anti-coagulants, or those with sickle cell anemia.
The patient inserts a small dose of medication directly into the urethral opening at the end of the penis where the medication becomes absorbed into the erectile tissue. This causes the blood vessels to relax so that the penis fills with blood and becomes erect. Possible side effects of intraurethral pellets include priapism (a sustained erection lasting longer than 4 hours) and burning discomfort in the urethra from the pellet.
At Urological Consultants of Florida, Miami Urologists David Robbins MD and Amery Wirtshafter MD understand that erectile dysfunction is a significant issue that can immensely impact a man's ego and esteem. We routinely screen our patients regarding the issue of impotence and erectile dysfunction. Each affected patient is assessed using the latest diagnostic technologies which may include color flow doppler imaging and subsequently an individualized treatment algorithm is developed that best suits each patient's needs and goals.
Natural erections are neurovascular events that involve both the nervous system and the vascular system. The nervous system involves nerves and the vascular system involves veins and arteries. The erectile process begins with either tactile or mental stimulation. Tactile stimulation or arousal involves physical sexual stimulation with a partner or masturbation. Mental stimulation involves either mental sexual fantasies or visual arousal such as watching pornography. Sexual stimulation causes an increase in the release of Nitric Oxide (NO) within the corpus cavernosum (the penile erectile capsule). Nitric Oxide then stimulates the production of cGMP a chemical messenger that acts directly on the smooth muscle around the blood vessels in the penile corpora cavernosum resulting in blood vessel dilation and an increase in blood flow and expansion of the penis.
As the penis expands during an erection, it causes increased pressure on the fibrous capsule of the penile corpora cavernosum known as the tunica albuginea. The bridging veins that exit the tunica albuginea get compressed and this decreases the outflow of blood from the penis resulting in a rigid erection. When sexual stimulation decreases, a chemical messenger called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) causes a breakdown of cGMP into GMP and thereby decreases blood flow into the penis. This process results in detumescence-- a loss of the erection. A breakdown in any of the above-described processes or medication to enhance the process has a direct effect on a patient’s erectile capabilities and can either impair the erection (erectile dysfunction) or improve erections.
