The doctors at Urology Consultants, P.A. are available to help you address a variety of urological concerns, including:
Additional services include:
- Self injection therapy
This involves the patient or his partner giving an injection of medication directly into the side of the penis to create an erection. This erection created is a natural one and usually begins 5 to 10 minutes after injection. Not all patients respond to this type of treatment but those who do should develop an erection that lasts anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes. About 70% of men find their erections are satisfactory with self-injection therapy. The drugs used include prostaglandin (PGE-1 or Prostin or Alprostadil or Caverject), papaverine hydrochloride and phentolamine (Regitine). All of these drugs have been approved by the FDA for uses other than impotence treatment. Only prostaglandin has been approved by the FDA for uses other than impotence treatment. Papaverine and phentolamine have not yet been approved by the FDA for this specific purpose.
- Inflatable penile prosthesis
Inflatable penile prostheses ar the most natural of the implants. These are soft, paired inner tubes made of silicone or bioflex, which are inert plastics. The inner tubes are filled with a solution that comes from a small reservoir placed under the muscles of the abdomen. A pump is used to transfer the fluid from the reservoir to the penile cylinders. When the erection is no longer desired, the fluid is returned to the reservoir leaving the penis soft and pliable. The major advantage of an inflatable penile implant is a more natural erection with total patient control.
