Abstract
This study prospectively assessed the use, effectiveness, and sexual and psychosocial impact of self-injection treatment in 15 men with psychogenic impotence. Sixty percent dropped out of self-injection treatment by 6 months. Those who remained used self-injections about four times monthly with a 94% success rate. Frequency of intercourse and sexual satisfaction increased. Anxiety decreased, and trends toward improvement in depression and self-esteem were evident. Qualitative data indicated that performance anxiety was not alleviated, dependence upon injections for intercourse remained, symptom substitution did not occur, and capacity for intimacy was not improved.
