Penile Injection Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Dr Kim offers a penile injection therapy program which supports many men in gaining the full benefits of this therapy.

 

Injection Training

Should you decide that penile injection therapy is needed, we believe that it is vital that patients are adequately trained and supported.

Patients considering a penile injection program, we will discuss different types of injection therapy and show you how to apply the medication safely. The first session involves Dr Kim demonstrating to you, in a detailed step-by-step fashion, the correct technique in penile injections. This will also be your first “test dose”.

He will record your response and at the second session, the dose will likely be increased or decreased accordingly.

First Session

After the first training session, he will help decide most appropriate dose that can offer satisfactory erection and provide information for safe injection.

Second Session

Some men would return for a second training session, and Dr Kim will carefully watch your technique as you demonstrate how you perform self-injection therapy. He will refine your technique as appropriate. The vast majority of men will have sufficient confidence after these 2 training sessions to commence home penile injection therapy.

At this second session, he will also judge your response and might advise the next dose that you will inject at home.

Even when you have demonstrated the ability to undertake home injection therapy, you and Dr Kim will continue to liaise after each injection until the desired result is achieved.

Oral Medication for Erectile Dysfunction

There are several well publicised erectile dysfunction medications available. These medications are mostly variations of vasodilator drugs.

They are effective for many men but for men who have diabetes, other chronic disorders or who are older in age, they tend to have lower efficacy.

While these medications are convenient they do carry complications and in some cases serious risk. Common among these are headaches.

 

If you no longer respond to these medications and want to learn about what your other choices are please arrange for a referral from your general practitioner and make an appointment to see Dr Kim.
