Doctor's answer:
Expert in Men's Health Answers: In general, medication is rarely used to treat erectile dysfunction because some drugs can affect sexual arousal and penile erection. If the erectile dysfunction is caused by insufficient sexual hormones, similar to hypogonadism, medication may be effective.A. Hormonal drugs: 25 mg, injected intramuscularly every other day, with 57 injections per course; human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG): 500 mg, injected intramuscularly 12 times per week, for two weeks.
B. Adjunctive drugs: 1 mg, taken once daily or 1 mg one hour before, three hours before, and six hours before sexual intercourse; vitamin E: 5 mg, taken three times daily orally.
C. Blockade therapy: 2 mg, 2.5 mg of galantamine, and 10 mL of 1% procaine solution, injected separately into the second and third sacral foramina.
D. Acupuncture point injection: Minguan (GV4), Guanyuan (CV4), Zhongji (CV3), and Qihai (CV6), with 0.5 mL of a mixture of testosterone propionate and 1% procaine solution injected per point (1% procaine: 10 mL, testosterone propionate: 20 mg).
The above hormonal drugs and adjunctive treatment drugs should not be used long-term, as this may lead to adverse effects, including suppression of the body's own sexual hormone secretion, prostatic hyperplasia, and even tumor development. Therefore, they should only be used short-term and under the guidance of a doctor.
