Injectable Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be distressing, but it’s also one of the most treatable men’s health conditions.
For men who haven’t had success with oral medications, injectable treatments can offer a reliable and effective alternative.
At Moorgate Andrology, our Urologists specialise in advanced injectable therapies designed to help men regain confidence and enjoy a fulfilling sex life once again.
How Do Injectable Treatments Work?
These injections work by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow into the penis, producing a firm and sustained erection.
Unlike tablets, the results are almost immediate — usually within 10 to 15 minutes.
Types of Erectile Dysfunction Injections
There are several types of injections used to treat ED. The most common are:
These medications are injected directly into the side of the penis using a very fine needle.
The procedure is safe when administered correctly, and our Urologists provide full guidance on dosage and technique.
How Long Do the Effects Last?
The duration varies depending on the medication and dosage used, but typically erections last between 30 and 90 minutes.
It’s important not to exceed the recommended frequency of use — generally no more than once in 24 hours and no more than three times per week.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Injectable treatments are well tolerated when used correctly, but potential side effects may include:
-
Mild pain or bruising at the injection site
-
Temporary redness or swelling
-
Prolonged erection (priapism), which requires urgent medical attention
Our team will teach you the correct injection technique to minimise these risks.
When Are Injections Recommended?
Erectile dysfunction injections are usually recommended when:
-
Oral medications like Viagra or Cialis are ineffective
-
There’s nerve damage after prostate surgery
-
You prefer a non-surgical solution before considering implants
If you’ve been diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease, injectable therapies may also be part of your treatment plan — though this depends on your individual condition.
