Intracavernous Injection Therapy (ICI)
Intracavernous injections represent a therapeutic method for treating erectile dysfunction (ED), providing men with a return to a full sexual life. These injections involve injecting specific medications directly into the cavernous space of the penis, resulting in a rapid and reliable erection.
How does this method work?
After the injection, the medications facilitate the relaxation of smooth muscles and enhance blood flow to the penis, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection. This direct administration of medications bypasses digestive issues and side effects often associated with oral therapies for ED.
Indications for the use of intracavernous injections
This method is recommended for men who do not achieve a satisfactory response to oral therapies for erectile dysfunction or have contraindications for their use.
Advantages of intracavernous injections:
• Rapid onset of action
• Minimal occurrence of side effects
• High success rate
