/ Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Considered a very effective but often under-utilized treatment for Erectile Dysfunction, ICP involves an injection of a combination of FDA-approved vasodilators into the spongy tissue of the penis, using an auto-applicator. This combination causes an expansion of the penile arteries and penile tissues, resulting in increased blood flow to the penis. An erection typically develops within minutes. The erection feels perfectly natural and normal; however, it will not subside after ejaculation until the effect of the medicine wears off. In rare cases side-effects of ICP include penile bruising, pain or tenderness, scarring, and a prolonged erection (known as a priapism).Boston Medical Group Telemedicine physicians have developed a unique approach to this method that has been effective for thousands of patients. Because it is applied locally and is non-systemic, it is often recommended for men with diabetes, heart conditions, high blood pressure or other illnesses. In the last 15 years ICP has re-emerged as a treatment option for men who do not respond to well-known oral medications for ED. Many men prefer to use ICP over other methods given its record of safety, quality, and highly predicable results.  Learn more about how ICP can help with your erectile dysfunction

Oral medications for ED have become very well known, and their convenience often makes them the first-line of treatment. While effective for many men, those who take nitrates for chest pain should not use oral medications given the potential for an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Other potential side effects include, but are not limited to, blurred vision, loss of hearing, and headaches.
