METHODSForty-seven patients with arterial ED, aged from 40 to 49 years, were treated with Zhenyangjian for 1 month. Intracavernous injection of papaverine and phentolamine (30 mg/l mg) was given and multifunctional color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the peak systolic velocity(PSV) of the corpus cavernous arteries before and after Zhenyangjian administration.
RESULTSThe PSV of the penis corpus cavernous arteries was obviously ameliorated in all the patients (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe Chinese traditional medicine Zhenyangjian can promote penile erection effectively.
