Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male problem that can treated in many different ways. At UW Health, our urologists test and treat patients for this condition. Treatment options for ED may include exercise, a suppository, or self-injection. In some cases, but, a doctor will prescribe a prescription medication.

Self-injection lessons If you’re considering self-injection therapy for mardana kamzori ka ilaj full, you’re wondering what you need to know to get started. Although these treatments have some advantages, they can cause side effects. For example, it’s possible to develop a prolonged erection that can last up to four hours, which would mean a trip to the doctor’s office or emergency room. Also, in rare cases, self-injection therapy may cause priapism, which is a long or painful erection. For this reason, self-injection therapy should performed only by trained professionals. Self-injection therapy is a common treatment for ED. It involves the self-injection of vasodilator medications into the penis to increase penile blood flow and thus lead to an erection. While this method is not as convenient as oral medications, it’s more effective and less likely to cause systemic side effects. One advantage of self-injection therapy is that it can used by men who are taking oral nitrate medications. Injection therapy can also limit the systemic side effects of nitrate medications, but its biggest drawback is that it can also cause erections. The first step in self-injection is to clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Next, grasp the penis with your thumb and forefinger, keeping it taut and ready to inject. Then, pull it towards your knee. Be careful not to twist it. Injection therapy is painless. But, it requires a regular return visit to the doctor to check progress. In most cases, it’s recommended to only inject once every four to seven days, depending on the type of medication and the patient’s initial response. Injection therapy is also expensive, with an average of eight to ten dollars per injection.

Penile pumps If you’re experiencing erectile dysfunction, you’ve heard about penile pumps. These devices can help you get an erection, and they are often used in conjunction with other methods of treatment, such as penis ring surgery. But, you should be aware of the risks associated with these devices. Before you start using one, be sure to read the user instructions. A penis pump works by extracting air from the penis, which helps to expand the blood vessels. This can take a few minutes. Mechanical and battery-powered pumps are easy to use and can last for about 30 minutes. You should always remove the pump before intercourse, though, to avoid injury. While penis pumps can help you get an erection, they can’t make your penis bigger.
