Potency injections

Intramuscular and intracavernous injections are an effective method of treatment that allows you to return to the normal strength of sexual potency and erectile ability. Medical treatment is often undertaken for patients suffering from hormonal imbalances or other organic causes of impotence.

Substitution therapy using pharmacological drugs is prescribed by an andrologist and is carried out under his supervision. Approximately 60% of men who report a decrease in sexual desire were able to restore their previous libido strength as a result of undergoing injection treatment.

Hormones

Intramuscular testosterone injections are the most common treatment for insufficient testosterone production. Therapy with the use of hormone-replacing drugs may involve complex treatment, which includes: 1. taking tablet medications (pills and capsules); 2. the use of transdermal products (patches and gels); 3. implantation of subcutaneous implants.

Duration of drug action

Taking a series of injections to increase testosterone secretion means administering diluted short, medium and long acting medications. Short-acting drugs include drugs with testosterone propionate. This substance is injected into the gluteus muscle at intervals of 2-3 days. It has an immediate stimulating effect on the genitals, but its effect lasts for 48-72 hours. Sustanol is a medium-acting agent. The frequency of injections is every 3-4 weeks. The drug substance has a rather low rate of absorption into the blood due to the presence of essential components in its composition. A long-acting drug called testosterone undecaonate has an aphrodisiac effect for 10-14 weeks. He is able to maintain a sufficient level of testosterone for a long period, to ensure a gradual release of the hormone in the blood. The use of the drug does not cause sudden changes in hormonal levels, does not worsen the well-being of a man. The constant use of this drug relieves men from fluctuations in the emotional background and a sharp decrease in libido.

Non-hormonal drugs

Substances are recommended for men who have difficulty developing erection and sexual arousal in response to stimulation of intimate areas.

Pharmacological substances have a mild relaxing effect, stimulate the transmission of nerve impulses along the alpha-adrenergic pathways, and suppress the release of norepinephrine. As a result of the introduction of these medications, patients manage to improve blood microcirculation in the intimate area, to achieve a significant increase in the volume of the penis in an erect state. The drugs do not affect the rate of onset of ejaculation and the level of fertility of the male body, do not reduce the ability to fertilize an egg.
