  Guy's Guide to ED and PE So guys, let's talk about needles and your penis.
• 0:11
  I'll wait a second for you to get over the thought.
• 0:14
  There are several FDA-approved drugs that a man injects into his penis at home, give him an erection.
• 0:20
  They produce a very hard erection in 5 to 10 minutes, and the erection lasts
• 0:24
  for half an hour to an hour.
• 0:25
  Men who have used it say, it just works. Side effects are rare and mild.
• 0:30
  And there are reports of the return of spontaneous erections because of the drug.
• 0:34
  There are treatments for ED that are less invasive, but if those don't work
• 0:37
  for you or result in unacceptable side effects, injections are an option,
• 0:41
  and the needle is very narrow.
• 0:43
  An off-label injection for ED is Botox, injected by a doctor.
• 0:47
  This increases blood flow to the penis, which improves erections.
• 0:51
  In one study, 86% of men with mild ED were helped.
• 0:55
  For moderate and severe ED, the rates were 79% and 64%, respectively.
• 1:00
  It takes a couple of weeks to kick in, and then it works for 6-9 months.
• 1:04
  Botox has been shown to be safe, with only mild side effects.
• 1:07
  This treatment results in getting erections normally. As a side effect,
• 1:11
  the treatment can result in a larger flaccid hang size, an outcome men did not complain about.
• 1:17
  Botox is also used to treat premature ejaculation This is new,
• 1:21
  and studies have been small, but good results have been shown and safety established,
• 1:26
  Positive results last 3-6 months, with increased time tapering off gradually,
• 1:30
  Many men were able to last 3 times as long as normal, which beats most other PE treatments,
• 1:35
  I'd call this one interesting, but needing more study fine-tuning doses and
• 1:39
  the injection site could make it better or more reliable.
• 1:43
  Another off-label PE treatment is injecting hyaluronic acid into the glands,
• 1:47
  that's the head, of the penis.
• 1:49
  This has been shown to significantly increase how long a man can engage in intercourse before it climaxes.
• 1:54
  In one study, the average time per man went from 38 seconds to 5.5 minutes.
• 1:59
  This time gradually lessened but was still 4 minutes after 12 months.
• 2:03
  Hyaluronic acid has been used in cosmetic surgery for decades and has well-established safety.
• 2:08
  The only issues were minor pain or irritation at the injection site, which cleared in time.
• 2:13
  Finding someone to do these procedures may take some real effort,
• 2:16
  and those that are off-label will not recover by insurance.
• 2:20
  But if you struggle a good deal, it may be worth the effort.
• 2:23
  Do your own research and know what you are getting. And of course,
• 2:27
  I'm not a doctor and I'm not giving medical advice.

  This is Paul, and who knew an ELO could help you do sex well?
