[QUOTE="edward, post: 145926, member: 38475"] I made an inadvertent error regarding my recommendation for the length of the needle. I meant to write 5/16” which is 8 mm. One consideration is the thickness of one’s penile shaft. If a patient is on the thicker side then a 1/2” needle should be fine. If the penile shaft is less thick or relatively thin, then I recommend the 5/16” or 8 mm length. When first infusing the medication, you should be able to push in the medication with ease. If any resistance is encountered then the needle is abutting a sheath of tissue that surrounds the erectile tissue called the tunica albuginia. In that instance just gently exert a little downward force on the syringe to make the needle penetrate more deeply and try again to push in the medication. If it then goes in with ease then you are in the erectile tissue. The danger of a 1/2” needle for a person with a not so thick penile shaft or a relatively thin one is the needle impacting the septum which separates the two erectile chambers. This should be avoided. As for probably 100% of doctors recommending a 1/2” needle for penile injections to treat ED, there is no way to know this in view of the thousands of doctors around the world who prescribe this therapy otherwise known as intracavernous pharmacotherapy or ICP. Many doctors in my experience prescribe an auto injector to facilitate these injections. In that case, a 1/2” needle is always recommended in my experience. [/QUOTE]
