Abstract
One hundred and twenty five men with psychogenic or organic impotence used autoinjection of the penile corpora cavernosa with either papaverine or papaverine and phentolamine for a mean period of 10.5 months (range 1-24 months) to achieve penile erection for sexual intercourse. Prolonged (over four hours) painless erection resulted from 34 of the 3513 self administered injections. This seems to be a highly effective approach to treating impotence irrespective of the aetiology.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
