| While a boon for men with legitimate ED symptoms who don't respond to Viagra or Levitra, injectible treatments are significantly mare likely to cause a dangerous condition called priapism, in which an erection doesn't go away, resulting in damage to penile tissue. 1] is used because this drug is associated with a lower risk of priapism and cavernous fibrosis than papaverine. In a recent historical survey, Dunsmuir and Gordon cite prevention or cure of impotence, phimosis, sterility, priapism, masturbation, venereal disease, epilepsy, bed-wetting, night terrors, "precocious sexual unrest" and homosexuality as among the contradictory benefits urged by Victorian and Edwardian physicians in Britain and the USA, without offering any firm suggestions of their own as to the relative weight of these factors. |
