Definition - What does Penile Rehabilitation mean?

Kinkly explains Penile Rehabilitation

Penile rehabilitation can include such methods as injection therapy, urethral suppositories, pumps, or other vacuum erection devices. Studies suggest that a combination of use of these methods can eventually restore erectile function to pre-operative levels. No one method has been shown to be the most effective. As with most therapies, rehabilitation efforts are most effective when started as soon as possible after trauma.
