چکیده
Impotence is syndrome involving the interaction of psychogenic, hormonal, neurological, arterial, venous & sinusoidal factors. Management of impotence has evolved from a time-born pattern of sympathetic discussion and empiric use of medication to a scientifically planned diagnostic protocol and specific treatment regime. The present study was undertaken to assess the effects of pharmacologically induced penile erection in the treatment of organic and psychogenic impotence. The total number of cases studied was 20 who were given papaverine hydochloride 30mg, intracavernosally. The parameters like mean penile length, mean penile circumference, rigidity, duration of erection and overall success rate studied are found to be appreciable and satisfactory in the patients receiving papaverine. Side effects like painful erection, bradycardia is much less. Thus intracavernosal injection of papaverine is very effective and easy method of treating psychogenic and organic impotence.
