To improve and diversify intimacy, partners often turn to a variety of toys and devices.Some of them are not only to bring freshness to sex life, but also to improve the function of reproductive organs and maintain their health.One of the devices that is widely publicized, highly demanded by men and, according to their reviews, very effective is the vacuum pump.
Their use allows you to maintain and restore the health of your penis, enhance its erectile capabilities, and with regular use, increase your manhood.Although vacuum pump manufacturers often promise almost immediate results after using them, in reality, only minor and short-term increases in penis size are usually achieved.
Vacuum therapy has been developed abroad.Doctors use vacuum pumps primarily to treat erectile dysfunction and during penile recovery after prostate surgery or radiation therapy.
Meanwhile, the debate over the benefits and drawbacks of pumping continues.Although this type of equipment usually only causes harm when used incorrectly, a more detailed understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of vacuum pumps can be useful to both parties involved.This will allow them to decide if it's worth using the device during sex, or is it better to give it up?
What is a vacuum pump?What is its mechanism of action?
There are two types of vacuum pumps:
- electric.They are equipped with an electric pump that pulls air out of them independently and more evenly when the pump is on.
- Manual.They are a cylindrical tube 20 cm long and 7 cm in diameter.This tube is connected to a hand pump, which pumps air out of the cylinder.
More advanced pumps have a regulator that adjusts the strength of the vacuum created in the cylindrical tube.
The essence of the device is simple: components placed in the vacuum pump experience a uniform pressure drop.When pressure increases, blood circulation is activated, blood flow to the penis increases, the penis enlarges, and becomes much larger than during a normal erection.
According to expert observations, the volume of the male physique can be increased by several centimeters and the length by 4-5 centimeters.As the pressure decreases, blood circulation returns to normal and the penis returns to its original size.
Such a warm-up of the male reproductive organs has its advantages and disadvantages, which we will consider further.
What is the use of vacuum pump?
Vacuum pumps have their undeniable advantages.
First, the ability to use the device correctly will allow those who are unable to achieve erections naturally to achieve erections.The effectiveness of your breast pump will be increased if you combine it with special erection-promoting medications prescribed by your doctor.
Second, purchasing a vacuum pump is much cheaper than undergoing erectile dysfunction treatment sessions at a clinic.
Third, aspiration is virtually free of subsequent complications and side effects, which cannot be said for many erection-improving medications.
Fourth, with the use of a vacuum pump, men’s natural sexual function can be restored while preserving the anatomy.But treatment procedures using implants or injections can cause anatomical changes or injury to the penis.
Benefits of using a vacuum pump:
- Blood flow helps eliminate congestion in the pelvic organs, which is caused by irregular sex life, frequent stress or sedentary work in men;
- Treat erectile dysfunction caused by prostate or colon surgery, diabetes, impaired blood flow to the penis, or psychological problems (stress, anxiety, fear of sexual dysfunction, depression);
- Increase blood vessel elasticity;
- The efficacy is stable and the quality is improved.
Pumping Side Effects, Disadvantages, and Contraindications
Although using a vacuum pump can allow a man to restore or even improve his sexual performance, this device must be used with caution and in accordance with the recommendations given in the instructions.
Vacuum therapy side effects:
- Short-term weakening of erection and ejaculation (can be avoided by using special contraction rings);
- Unnatural or painful sensations during an erection (most commonly due to improper use of the pump);
- Decreased stiffness at the base of the penis;
- Bruising, red or purple spots on the skin (most commonly caused by injured capillaries and associated microbleeds under the skin);
- Numbness (due to prolonged exposure of the penis to low pressure);
- Skin color change (darkening), excessive dryness of the skin in the penile area (same cause of numbness).
Most side effects are short-term.After completing a course of vacuum treatment, everything is back to normal immediately.To reduce the risk of its occurrence, it is important to gradually increase the pressure and use a vacuum pump equipped with a pressure gauge.
Vacuum pumps also have many disadvantages.
First, the penis must be as relaxed as possible before an erection can occur - a prerequisite for the procedure to be effective.Relaxation involves pre-ejaculation.
Secondly, you need to strictly follow the prescribed treatment plan, which includes daily pumping.Each session must last at least 45 minutes.
Third, the use of a vacuum pump often requires the concomitant use of appropriate medications.
Finally, fourth, not everyone is allowed to use a vacuum pump, and not always.This technique has many contraindications:
- tendency to form blood clots;
- vascular disease;
- congenital defects;
- urethritis;
- kidney or liver dysfunction;
- Foreskin disease;
- Have a tendency to bleed (for the same reason, the use of a vacuum pump is contraindicated during treatment with blood-thinning medications);
- Circulatory disorders (some forms of anemia, leukemia) characterized by prolonged and painful erections;
- Treat with painkillers (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc., a complete list is stated in the instructions for the vacuum pump or provided by your doctor).
How to prepare for negative pressure therapy?
Although you can buy a vacuum pump without a doctor's prescription, it's best to consult a urologist before starting the aspiration procedure.After studying your personal characteristics (previous illnesses, injuries or surgeries, especially in the genital area, your general state of health, taking medications or dietary supplements, undergoing genital examinations), he will be able to determine recommendations for the use of a vacuum pump and provide advice on its operation for maximum efficiency and minimum negative effects.
Choose a pump model equipped with a safety valve - it will protect the penis from damage and prevent the pressure from dropping to critical levels.
How to use vacuum pump
- Clean the device with warm water and soap.Do not use boiling water on the pump.
- Lubricate the nozzle at the bottom of the plastic cylinder with a lubricant (but not a fat-based one).
- Carefully insert the penis into the cavity of the flask and press it as tightly as possible against the body.
- Hold the flask with one hand and start pumping out the air with the other hand.
- While the air is being extracted, make sure the flask is sealed - the hole in the flask should be closed (or the valve should be closed).
- After this, an erection should occur and the penis should turn red.
- After 30 seconds, open the valve and inject air into the flask.
- When the erection weakens, we repeat the process.
In total, this usually takes about 20 minutes.
You need to gradually increase the time of vacuum exposure—30 seconds, one minute, two minutes, etc.At the same time, you need to increase your rest time.
If an erection disappears too quickly, use a penis ring to restrict blood flow to the penis.
The vacuum pump is purely a personal item and is not recommended for use by others.
You need to store the vacuum pump in a box - this not only protects it from sunlight, but also prevents possible mechanical damage.Place the box in a dry place.
In general, vacuum pumps are an effective and safe solution to intimate problems, allowing you to avoid surgical intervention and medication.More than half of men who use breast pumps (60-80%) note positive developments in treating erectile dysfunction from various causes.Their experience can serve as a good example, but do not forget that it is recommended to carry out such treatments under the supervision of an attending physician!
