Intracavernosal injections are injections administered directly into the cavernosal tissue of the penis to increase blood flow and stimulate an erection. Treatments like the Pharmacologic Erection Program (PEP) and medications such as Alprostadil and Papaverine, which are used to treat conditions like erectile dysfunction, are administered through these injections to increase blood circulation in the penis.
Intracavernosal injections are often considered when other treatments and lifestyle changes have failed. Individuals considering this treatment must consult a medical professional for optimal guidance and results.

Intracavernosal injections are administered directly into the cavernosal tissue of the penis, primarily to treat erectile dysfunction. Also referred to as impotence, erectile dysfunction is characterised by a persistent inability to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity, which can negatively impact an individual’s self-confidence and overall quality of life.
These injections are also a key component in the Pharmacologic Erection Program (PEP) treatment. In this program, PEP medication is administered into the cavernosal tissue of the penis through intracavernosal injections. PEP treatment is a non-surgical technique in which individuals self-inject vasoactive agents into their penis to treat erectile dysfunction.
These steps are essential to ensure the safe and effective administration of intracavernosal injections:

Some side effects might be temporary and result from the body adjusting to the medication. However, if side effects do not subside within a few hours, it is crucial to seek medical assistance to prevent potential complications.
