He was then offered a treatment plan: testosterone pellet implantation and penile injections.[2] Staff taught the patient how to administer the injections at home. Home administration is the standard procedure for injection-based erectile dysfunction treatment.
The man returned to the center shortly after and told the staff that the injections weren’t working. He was reportedly told that he administered the injections incorrectly. The man reportedly experienced permanent damage as a result of the unnecessary treatments. A lawsuit against NuMale Medical was filed in 2020.[1] In November 2024, the case went to trial.[3] Jurors determined that negligent and fraudulent conduct by NuMale Medical staff violated the Unfair Practices Act. They awarded the man a record-breaking $412 million.
NuMale Medical operates in eight states, including Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.[4] The clinics offer treatments for a range of medical conditions that affect older men, including erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and other sexual health concerns.
