A short YouTube video (creator: Anne Truong MD) discussing recent studies where two trials treating men with Botox reported effects on erectile function that lasted more than six months. The speaker hypothesizes Botox may exert more than a local effect—possibly facilitating parasympathetic nervous system activity, which mediates erection—because the observed benefit extends beyond the typical ~three-month duration.

More than six months.

Interestingly, in the two study that treated men with Botox, the effect lasted more than six months and therefore it's postulated that Botox has more than just a local effect and maybe perhaps an effect on the parasympathetic nervous system. We know that the parasympathetic nervous system is what's responsible for causing an erection and that Botox may be facilitating the effect of parasympathetic nervous system because the response to the improvement is beyond the normal three months.
