Erectile Dysfunction Vacuum Pumps
There are a lot of methods to treat erectile dysfunction depending on the cause of impotence and whether you are able to achieve erection but can’t maintain it or completely unable to get erection.
Erectile dysfunction vacuum pumps are vacuum constriction devices that consist of a cylinder with a pump attached to the penis. When the cylinder is applied to the body a constriction ring is placed on the cylinder.
After the pump is placed on the penis the vacuum is gained by pumping. The blood drawn by vacuum moves to the shaft of the penis, the penis swells and becomes erected. Now you can slide the band down to the lower end of the penis. Use lubricant to reduce friction. The erectile dysfunction pump may be removed after the vacuum is released.
If maintenance of erection is needed the intercourse may be performed with the constriction band. But the erectile dysfunction pump should be completely removed in about 30 minutes.
Surveys show that up to 80% of men feel satisfied with impotence pumps. But as it happens to other erectile dysfunction treatment devices the results become less satisfactory with time.
Erectile dysfunction vacuum pumps can be used to treat impotence cause by various factors that include:
- Insufficient blood flow to the penis
- Diabetes mellitus
- Surgery for prostate or colon
- Psychological factors
But there are risk factors that prevent some group of men from using erectile dysfunction vacuum pumps. Vacuum constriction devices are not to be used by:
Those who have congenital bleeding disorder
Males who suffer from priapism (prolonged erection that can last for several hours and is difficult to surpass)
Like other impotence treatment methods erectile dysfunction pumps have several side effects:
The erection obtained with the help of erectile dysfunction pumps differs from natural erection
The penis become purplish and small bruises can appear on the penis. However they are painless and usually resolve in a few days
The force of ejaculation is decreased. The construction band traps the ejaculated semen and the semen will dribble out after the pump is removed. But this does not cause any painful experiences and does not influence the pleasure you derive from a climax or orgasm.
Erectile dysfunction pumps cost from $300 to $500 and the price depends on the brand and the quality of the materials. Battery-powered vacuum pumps are more expensive.
