Penis Pumps: How They Work and How to Use Them
Penis pumps have been effective in helping men with erectile dysfunction achieve an erection for quite some time. If you’re using a penis pump as part of a treatment program prescribed by your physician, you’ll find that it’s quite useful in helping you return to a normal sex life. Of course, the natural question is how the pump helps you gain an erection in the first place.
You’ve got questions about penis pumps; we’ve got answers about penis pumps. When you insert your penis into the pump’s tube and affix the opening snugly to the base of your shaft, your penis is now in an airtight environment. Once you’ve begun the pumping action, air is being withdrawn from the cylinder, creating a vacuum. As the vacuum’s created, blood is drawn into your penis, and the vacuum keeps the blood from flowing back out. This process usually takes no longer than three minutes and once it’s complete, simply remove the tube, slip a cock ring around the base of your shaft to maintain your erection, and you should be all set for intercourse with no worries about going limp in the middle of the action.
Useful as penis pumps are, they have their share of attendant hazards as well. Always use the penis pump as directed by your physician in accordance with the pump’s instructions. Don’t overpump; too much suction can lead to vascular damage, including bursting blood vessels. This is incredibly painful and your penis will look like it went through one of Jigsaw’s traps. Once you’ve pumped and put on the cock ring, don’t leave the ring on for more than half an hour. Wearing it longer can induce priapism, another exquisitely painful condition that can cause permanent damage to your penis.
Used properly, the penis pump’s vacuum creation capability can help men with ED regain a reasonably normal sex life. If you think it’s a viable option for you, discuss it with your doctor. You might find the penis pump is the answer to your ED dilemma.
