It is believed that the first vacuum pump (vacuum erector) was invented in 1960 by the American G. Osbon. After a while, this device began to be widely used to stimulate erection.The pump accelerates the process of blood filling of the corpora cavernosa due to the effect of negative pressure on their tissues. . . The main structural elements are a transparent cylinder in which a member and a pump are placed. The air is pumped out, the penis is in a discharged space, its vessels expand as much as possible and fill with blood.
Modern pumps provide a pressure gauge to control pressure, various attachments for optimal fit of the bulb to the penis, devices for protecting the glans, and erection rings. The created environment can be not only air, but also water. The more functionality the device has, the higher the price.
Justification of effectiveness, use in medicine
A vacuum pump is initially not just a toy from a sex shop, but a medical physiotherapy device, the effectiveness of which is officially recognized. It is used in andrology in the following cases:
- Vascular erectile dysfunction;
- Sexual problems of a psychogenic nature (failure expectation syndrome);
- The initial stages of impotence (vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction);
- Chronic prostatitis and prostate vesiculitis;
- Curvature of the penis after surgery;
- Treatment of Peyronie's disease at the initial stage (with a small curvature angle and small plaques) and intracavernous chord.
Vacuum pump therapy is called LOD (Local Negative Pressure Treatment) therapy. Low pressure forces the capillaries and arteries that are not used during a natural erection to open, increasing the useful volume of the penis. Active irritation of the receptors of the head occurs, the signal is transmitted to the brain and spinal cord, the activity of the spinal centers of erection and ejaculation is stabilized. The session lasts 30 seconds, then the pressure is gradually released, the erection weakens.
To increase the penis, the device works as follows: with regular exposure to negative pressure, the tissues of the cavernous bodies are stretched, more blood is placed in them, the penis looks larger during an erection.
Medical erection pumps
The effectiveness and safety of exercising with a pump directly depends on the quality of the device.
You can buy them in specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or on order on distribution sites. In addition to functional devices, a high-quality pump always comes with a personal lubricant and detailed instructions.
How to use:
- Massage your penis for 5 minutes to warm up.
- Lubricate the edge of the cylinder and slide the O-ring onto it.
- Lubricate the penis and place it in the cylinder (the scrotum should be slightly pulled back).
- Press the button, create a vacuum, press the cylinder tightly to the body.
- By pressing the button, pump out the air until the penis reaches its maximum erection (moderate discomfort in the head is possible).
- To have intercourse, you need to roll the ring from the cylinder to the penis, the erection will remain after removing the pump.
In a high-quality pump, the cylinder should be straight (without tapering), the base with a wide edging.
Preparing for therapy
Before starting a session, you need to consult a specialist. Only a specialist will be able to examine the patient and identify contraindications to the use of vacuum therapy. Sometimes the reason for contraindications can be psychological aspects that are easily eliminated.
Before using the pump, wash it with warm water and soap. It is forbidden to boil or pour boiling water over it. Also, you cannot use the pump for several people. The pump is quite fragile and must be used carefully and not thrown away. You need to store the vacuum in a dark and dry place at a temperature not exceeding 35 degrees.
Algorithm for performing the procedure:
- Before putting on the pump, it is better to lubricate its base with a special lubricant;
- Too greasy grease will render the vacuum pump unusable;
- Place the penis at the base of the pump and press it firmly against the scrotum;
- Before the start of the session, you need to lubricate the penis with ointment to increase blood supply;
- Next, it follows from the pump to pump out air, thereby increasing the pressure in the pump and creating a blood flow to the organ;
- Hold the vacuum with your left hand, and with the other, using a pear, you need to pump out air from the inside;
- The hole in the flask must be clamped, and if there is a valve, then close it;
- During the session, you can see a slight increase in erection and redness of the penis. After half a minute, you need to open the valve and allow air to enter the flask;
- The procedure takes about 20 minutes. During this period, an erection will occur approximately 20 times for a minute.
With the systematic use of the pump at intervalsevery two daysyou can achieve significant results.
For the first 14 days, it is recommended to use a vacuum at night, two hours before bedtime, for 30 seconds. Over the next weeks, you can increase the impact of the pump up to 60 seconds, while taking a break for 2 minutes. If immediately after the session the erection weakens, then you need to use an erection ring. It is attached to the base of the penis.
Types of commercial pumps, recommendations for selection and care
Today on the Internet you can order a pump for every taste and wallet. They differ in material quality, design features and equipment.
By the type of working environment, pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (hydro-pumps).The latter are considered safer, since it is not air, but warm water that acts on the tissues of the penis (the larger the volume merges from the bulb, the stronger the effect on the penis). Control can be both manual (hand pump, pear) and automatic (electronic control by a button).
Varieties of vacuum devices for men
The key element of the pump design, which should be guided by when choosing, is a flask (cylinder). It should be 5 cm longer than an erect penis. If there is excess weight (big belly), then another 2 cm is added. The diameter (it is for it the flasks are marked) for classic pumping should be 1-2 cm larger. To determine your bulb size, you need to measure the circumference of the erect penis and divide it bypi number - 3. 14.
Standard recommendations for care: after the procedure, disassemble the device, rinse with water and a mild detergent and wipe with an antiseptic solution, dry thoroughly.
How does it work
Air is gradually evacuated from the flask, due to which pressure is rarefied in the inner space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to keep the correct shape, which accompanies an erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, of which there are a lot on the mucous membrane of the penis, so the penis becomes hard quickly enough compared to a normal erection.
After creating a vacuum, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the rate of blood flow increases. In practice, it feels like warmth in the lower abdomen and groin.
- The cavernous bodies inside the penis are filled with blood. Studies have shown that the blood saturation of the penis under vacuum doubles compared to a normal erection.
- The supply of oxygen is increased, which has a positive effect on the condition of all tissues of the genital organs.
Homemade pumps
Some men, at their own peril and risk, decide to use homemade pumps. In all respects, they are inferior to even the cheapest industrial models, but if you wish, you can assemble such a device. This will require a plastic cylinder (closed baby bottle with a cropped bottom), a tube (you can take it from a dropper) and a pear (or a large syringe) to evacuate air. On the side of the cover, a tube is inserted into the incision and fixed, connected to a piston device or a pear.
These pumps are traumatic, inconvenient to use, and ineffective. Their only advantage is their low cost.
Harm
We figured out the positive aspects, can the use of a vacuum pump harm a man?
The disadvantages and possible harm of a vacuum pump for men are as follows:
- Unacceptable long-term use can reduce the sensitivity of the skin of the penis, which will manifest itself in dryness, numbness and severe discomfort.
- The device locally reduces the muscle force pushing the sperm outward, which greatly reduces the chances of conception.
- As a result of using the pump, sometimes there is pain in the penis of varying severity.
- Excessive use of the device reduces the strength and duration of an erection.
- Purple-red spots appear on the skin of the penis as a result of injury to small vessels.
- For some, the disadvantage is the simple requirement of smooth skin in the groin area.
This device will not cause discomfort and undesirable effects if you use it strictly according to the instructions, follow all instructions and control the pressure level with a special pressure gauge.
It is recommended to avoid non-certified devices, as a homemade pump has a detrimental effect on a man's penis, contributing to skin hemorrhages, a decrease in erection and a deterioration in the appearance of the penis.
Pumping methods
Experienced users use pumps for targeted enlargement of the penis in length or thickness using special techniques. To lengthen or correct the shape of the penis (with a large bend), you will need a narrow and long bulb. The technique is called "packing" (from the English. "To pack"). The essence of the method is that the erect penis touches the walls (there will be no stretching of the tissues in width), and the head is sucked into the free space in front. Before being placed in the flask, the penis must be lubricated with lubricant along its entire length.
To work on the girth (diameter), you will need a flask wider (with a diameter of 4 cm larger than the circumference of the penis). Too wide a cylinder is inconvenient and ineffective: the testicles are pulled into it, the foreskin is filled with lymph, the tunic does not stretch well
Safe program and consequences of misuse of the pump
Andrologists do not in vain recommend purchasing professional pumps, since they are distinguished by high-quality materials and a verified design. From a medical point of view, such devices are not used for long-term procedures, only for training the tissues of the penis according to the "squeezed-relaxed" principle. Most of the NUPers (from the phrase "natural penis enlargement") try to keep the penis in the bulb as long as possible, up to the blue of the head. It is very dangerous. For beginners, the maximum pressure should not exceed 3-4Hg according to the pressure gauge, the maximum duration of the lesson is 20-30 minutes. . . At the end, a five-minute massage is performed to normalize blood flow.
The medical program for penis enlargement with a pump is designed for a year. In the first 16 weeks, daily half-hour sessions are carried out, and then the frequency is reduced to once every three days. Thus, you can achieve a persistent increase in length by 3 cm, thickness by 1 cm. After a single session with a pump, the penis increases by about 10%, but the effect soon disappears.
If the device is used incorrectly, negative consequences arise:
- "Donut effect" - the accumulation of lymph in the skin around the head. After a few days, the edema disappears without consequences, but it is better not to provoke its appearance.
- Capillary bleeding, hematomas, blisters. The stains after these injuries will remain for a long time. In some cases, the penis can be deformed.
- Head necrosis.
- Inflammation of the foreskin.
Pain and tingling of the head, its blue discoloration is a dangerous signal. You should immediately remove the pump and massage the penis.
Contraindications for exercising with a pump:
- Priapism (long and painful erection).
- Fragility of blood vessels (frequent bruises, hematomas, subcutaneous hemorrhages, vascular networks).
- Taking painkillers.
- Inflammation of the pelvic organs, including those caused by sexually transmitted infections.
For men over 50, doctors generally do not recommend using a pump for penis enlargement. The elasticity of the tissues has already been reduced; it is almost impossible to stretch the tunica albuginea. The result of such activities is most often exclusively injuries.
Help with the appearance of edema and dark spots on the penis (experience of NUPers)
To get rid of the negative consequences of careless use of the pump as soon as possible, the following materials will be required:
- Chamomile in bags (in pharmacies).
- Rolled cotton wool.
- Elastic bandage mesh No. 3.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
Chamomile needs to be brewed (2 sachets at once), pour the solution into a glass or any other container where you can dip your penis. The bath should be taken 3-4 times a day for 5-7 minutes (each time brew new bags). In the evening after the last procedure, wipe the penis dry, spread with ointment, cover with cotton wool, put on a bandage on top. After a few days of procedures, the tissues will be restored.
Important: in the first 2-3 days after the injury, the above manipulations cannot be carried out, since the blood has not yet coagulated, the injury will take longer to heal. It is advisable to immediately apply cold to a fresh hematoma, thereby minimizing its area.
In some men, regular pumping causes the skin of the penis to darken (hyperpigmentation). Nothing can be done about it. If the spots do not go away, the erection worsens, discomfort is felt, then Doppler ultrasonography of the vessels of the penis should be performed (blockage is possible).
Contraindications
There are a number of diseases, conditions in which the use of such a device is not recommended. The absolute contraindications include:
- Diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
- Thrombosis, atherosclerosis.
- Varicose veins of the small pelvis.
- Diseases of an infectious or inflammatory nature.
- Diseases of the genital area (urological).
- The presence of tumor formations of various origins.
- Childhood or adolescence.
- Mental disorders.
- Blood clotting disorder.
And also classes are not carried out if they bring discomfort, are accompanied by the appearance of pain. In this case, they will not be beneficial, but only harm human health.
There are no other serious contraindications, the device can be used by men of different ages from 18 to 65 years.
Side effects
Side effects are possible in cases where the device was used incorrectly or the person had contraindications that he did not take into account.
Unpleasant consequences can be as follows:
- the appearance of darkened areas on the mucous membrane due to damage to the blood capillaries;
- dryness and numbness of the surface of the penis;
- cracks in the mucous layer;
- with hematomas - a feeling of pain;
- swelling of soft tissues due to microtraumas.
Also, when the vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido may occur.
Opinion of doctors
The opinion of doctors regarding the use of pumps for penis enlargement is controversial. Some recommend this method, others are strongly against it. Among the first are sexologists and andrologists dealing with the problems of erectile dysfunction. Pumps really help to achieve a high-quality erection, and it is safe for the body.
Opponents of the use of vacuum erectors are usually urologists who consider these devices to be dangerous. Many men use them with such zeal that classes end in penile deformity and impotence. Doctors have to correct these consequences.
Additional elements
Some models have additional elements. These upgrades include a scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to her, a man can easily determine how much progress has been made in increasing length thanks to the device.
Another element is a pressure gauge. It can be used to measure a comfortable level of vacuumization and quickly return to it next time.
Some varieties are equipped with cock rings to help prolong erection. There are additional structures inside the cylinder that give the surface a roughness, a spiked structure, etc. for a punchy sensation. Also, some models have a vibration mode, which adds piquancy.
