We report the results of a survey of 75 patients with erectile dysfunction, all of whom were treated by self-injection of the corpora cavernosa with vasoactive agents. At the time of the survey each patient had been self-injecting at home for at least 3 months. Of the patients 62 were followed for 3 to 21 months. Patients used this form of treatment with minimal assistance from our clinic staff. It was acceptable to them with few complications except for prolonged erections in 11 per cent of the men. Fifteen patients (24 per cent) with psychogenic impotence reported spontaneous improvement in erections during treatment and 4 discontinued treatment for this reason. Another 26 patients (42 per cent) continue to use self-injection as the definitive mode of treatment for erectile dysfunction.

The ejaculatory reflex consists of emission and expulsion, with the latter involving rhythmic muscular contractions that propel seminal fluid. Botulinum toxin, through its inhibitory effects, has been hypothesized to improve premature ejaculation (PE). This study evaluates high-quality evidence on botulinum toxin-A injections into the bulbospongiosal muscle as a treatment for PE.

Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a complex mixture derived from adipose tissue, consisting of a variety of cells. Due to its potential for tissue repair, immunomodulation, and support of angiogenesis, SVF represents a promising frontier in regenerative medicine and offers potential therapy for a range of disease conditions. In this article, we delve into the mechanisms through which SVF exerts its effects and explore its potential applications in treating both male and female reproductive disorders, including erectile dysfunction, testicular injury, stress urinary incontinence and intrauterine adhesion.
