    Blockage of blood vessels in the penis can generally be treated with oral medications, injections, and surgery if necessary.

    1. Oral drugs

    Penile blood vessel blockage may be caused by blood circulation disorders. It can be treated with oral medications to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis under the guidance of a doctor, such as Chinese patent medicines such as Xuefu Zhuyu Pills and Taohong Siwu Decoction. It can also be improved by taking sildenafil tablets. It is a vasoactive drug that can improve the symptoms of penile blood vessel blockage.

    2. Injection of drugs

    If the occlusion of the penile blood vessels is caused by thrombus, thrombolytic treatment should be carried out in time. Intravenous infusion of streptokinase, urokinase and other drugs can be used for thrombolysis. If the drugs are ineffective, the thrombus can be removed through a catheter. For penile blood vessel blockage caused by microvascular circulation disorders, alprostadil injection can be injected to improve it.

    3. Surgical treatment

    If the penile blood vessels are blocked due to vasospasm and stenosis, a catheter can be inserted into the narrowed blood vessel cavity, and the narrowed blood vessels can be dilated or the weak blood vessels can be repaired and strengthened through techniques such as placing a stent or balloon dilation. If it is caused by varicocele and is more serious, surgical treatment is also required, such as fibroscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, etc.

    Penile blood vessel blockage requires relevant examinations in the hospital, and targeted treatment can be carried out after the cause is clarified, so that the penile blood vessel blockage can be effectively treated.
