You lose your erection for a few months.
Local anesthetics can cause minor pain and burning when injected too fast; even long-acting local anesthetics wear off after a few hours and surgical pain may recur; overdoses of local anesthetics can cause seizures; depending on the site of injection, other side effects may occur.
Are minimal. But some people could present allergy, dizziness, tiredness, and nausea.
