    Background:

    • Erectile failure presents a complex challenge requiring a multi-faceted diagnostic approach.
    • Current treatment options for erectile dysfunction (ED) include various medical and psychological interventions.
    • Intracavernosal injections (ICI) are an established treatment modality for ED.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and application of intracavernosal papaverine injections in managing erectile failure.
    • To describe the patient selection criteria and outcomes for papaverine ICI therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Patient assessment involved medical and sexual history, Doppler ultrasound, Jonas erectiometer, and Sacral Latency Test.
    • Intracavernosal papaverine injections were administered to 60 patients (150 injections total) from January 1986.

  • Indications included performance anxiety, mild arterial insufficiency, diabetes, post-pelvic surgery, and neurological deficits.

    • Main Results:

    • Papaverine ICI was found to be indicated for performance anxiety, especially when combined with psychotherapy.
    • The treatment showed utility in cases of mild arterial deficiencies, diabetes, and post-surgical or neurological-related erectile dysfunction.
    • Seven out of 60 patients achieved self-injection capability, indicating successful long-term management.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracavernosal papaverine injections represent a viable treatment for specific types of erectile failure.
    • The therapy can be effectively used in conjunction with psychotherapy for psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
    • Self-injection training empowers patients, improving adherence and long-term outcomes in erectile dysfunction management.
