It has been more than 9 months from my surgery and the doctor is recommending penile injection. Does that promote the return of natural erections?

Brief Answer:
80 to 90% of men it's effective onvtrials

hi
I guess your doctor had not said the active ingredients of the injection. I presume it to be alprostadil. This seem effective active in most men up to 90 pc of them who took it. it is not natural for sure.
