For what it's worth, my Urologist said to use nothing less than a 29 gauge needle, either 5/16 or 1/2 inch. He's had several patients that broke off the 31 gauge needles in their penis, which is very problematic and potentially serious. Could have been cheap needles or the like, but don't know for sure.

I have zero problem with 31 gauge 5/16. Plus it is virtually painless to inject. In fact, these are the standard needles my pharmacy includes with the trimix prescriptions.

But of course follow your Dr and not me.
