It is important you consult a doctor before trying any ED treatment.
Intracavernosal injections may help some men induce and maintain an erection (see diagram).
 The medication is injected directly into the tissue inside the penis, the cavernosa.
It works within minutes.
Injections may be associated with pain/infection.

Intraurethral medications may also provide an erection to men with ED within minutes.
The medication is inserted into the urethra, the tube like structure through which men urinate and ejaculate.
May be associated with pain, discomfort or infection.

A vacuum device is another option for treating men with ED.
These devices create a vacuum around the penis drawing blood into it and causing it to engorge and expand.
May be associated with discomfort.
Is not convenient like other treatments.

Some ED sufferers might be suitable for surgery to treat their problem.
Prostheses are inserted surgically into the penis to help with stiffness during erections.
Patients need a recovery period.
The procedure may be associated with pain, discomfort and infection.
