title: [Therapy of erectile dysfunction using papaverine--2 1/2 years' experience].
abstract: The physiological basis of erectile function is described and the possibilities and limits of therapy with intracavernous papaverine are discussed. It is of extreme importance that, whenever possible, patients should perform self-injections at home. Thus, 20% of our patients regained potency after a few self-injections. Another 40% practiced self-injections as long-term treatment.
