Summary
In this video, sexologist and nurse practitioner Melissa Hadley Barrett discusses penile injection therapy and its benefits for men post-prostatectomy. She addresses common questions about the therapy, including its effectiveness for nerve recovery and the difference between injections and pumps. Melissa emphasizes the importance of tailored treatment and the involvement of partners in the process.Highlights
- Penile injection therapy aids in nerve recovery and rehabilitation post-prostatectomy, although research findings vary.
- Both injections and pumps are effective for exercise and tissue health, with injections providing more arterial blood flow.
- Injection-induced erections feel more natural and are warm to the touch, while pump-induced erections may feel cooler.
- Using a pump alongside injections can improve exercise and tissue stretching for fuller erections.
- The safe and effective use of injections involves proper injection technique, individual dose adjustment, and regular care for penile health.
