It is believed that the first vacuum pump (vacuum erector) was invented in 1960 by the American G. Osbon. After some time, this device began to be widely used to stimulate erections.The pump accelerates the process of blood supply to the corpora cavernosa due to the effect of negative pressure on their tissues. . . The main structural elements are a transparent cylinder in which an element and a pump are placed. The air is pumped, the penis is in a vacated space, its vessels expand as much as possible and fill with blood.
Modern pumps provide a pressure gauge for pressure control, various attachments for optimal fit of the bulb to the penis, head protectors and erection rings. The created environment can be not only air but also water. The more functionality of the device, the higher the price.
Justification of the effectiveness, use in medicine
The vacuum pump was originally not just a toy from a sex shop, but a medical physiotherapy device whose effectiveness has been officially recognized. Used in andrology in the following cases:
- Vascular erectile dysfunction;
- Psychogenic sexual problems (failure expectation syndrome);
- The initial stages of impotence (vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction);
- Chronic prostatitis and prostate vesiculitis;
- Penile curvature after surgery;
- Treatment of Peyronie's disease in the initial stage (with a small angle of curvature and small plaques) and intracavernous chord.
The treatment with a vacuum pump is called LOD (local treatment with negative pressure). The 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 vertebral centers of erection and ejaculation is stabilized. The session lasts 30 seconds, then the pressure is gradually released, the erection weakens.
To enlarge the penis, the device works as follows: with regular exposure to negative pressure, the tissues of the corpora cavernosa stretch, more blood is placed in them, the penis looks bigger during an erection.
Medical erection pumps
The effectiveness and safety of exercises with a pump directly depends on the quality of the device.
You can buy them in specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or on custom distribution sites. In addition to functional devices, the high-quality pump always comes with personal lubrication 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 pull back slightly).
- Press the button, create a vacuum, press the cylinder firmly to the body.
- By pressing the button, pump the air until the penis reaches its maximum erection (moderate discomfort in the head is possible).
- To have intercourse, you must move the ring from the cylinder to the penis, the erection will remain after removing the pump.
With a high-quality pump, the cylinder must be straight (without narrowing), the base with a wide edge.
Preparation for therapy
Before starting a session, you should consult a specialist. Only a specialist will be able to examine the patient and identify contraindications to the use of vacuum therapy. Sometimes the cause of 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. Also, you cannot use the pump for several people. The pump is quite fragile and must be used carefully and not discarded. You must store the vacuum in a dark and dry place at a temperature no higher than 35 degrees.
Algorithm for performing the procedure:
- Before installing the pump, it is better to lubricate its base with a special lubricant;
- Too greasy grease will make the vacuum pump unusable;
- Place the penis at the base of the pump and press it firmly against the scrotum;
- Before the session, you should lubricate the penis with ointment to increase blood flow;
- Air should then be pumped out of the pump, thus increasing the pressure in the pump and creating blood flow to the organ;
- Hold the vacuum with your left hand, and with the other, using a pear, you need to pump air from inside;
- The hole in the flask must be tightened and if there is a valve, then close it;
- During the session you may see a slight increase in erection and redness of the penis. After half a minute you should open the valve and let air enter the flask;
- The procedure takes about 20 minutes. During this period, an erection will occur approximately 20 times per minute.
When using the pump systematically 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. In the following weeks, you can increase the impact of the pump to 60 seconds by taking a break for 2 minutes. If the erection weakens immediately after the session, then you should 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 the quality of materials, construction characteristics and equipment.
According to the type of working environment, the pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (hydraulic pumps).The latter are considered safer because it is not the air but the warm water that acts on the tissues of the penis (the larger the volume that flows from the bulb, the stronger the effect on the penis). The control can be both manual (hand pump, pear) and automatic (electronic button control).
Varieties of vacuum devices for men
The key design element of the pump to be guided in the selection is the flask (cylinder). It should be 5 cm longer than the erect penis. If there is excess weight (large belly), add another 2 cm. The diameter (for him the flasks are marked) for classical pumping should be 1-2 cm larger. To determine the size of the bulb, you need to measure the circumference of the erect penis and divide it by pi number - 3. 14.
Standard care recommendations: after the procedure, disassemble the device, rinse with water and a mild detergent and wipe with an antiseptic solution, dry well.
How it works
Air is gradually evacuated from the flask, due to which a pressure relief is obtained in the interior space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain the correct shape that accompanies the erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, many of which are on the lining of the penis, so that the penis becomes hard enough fast 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, you feel warmth in the lower abdomen and groin.
- The cavernous bodies inside the penis are full of blood. Studies show that blood saturation of the penis under vacuum doubles compared to a normal erection.
- Oxygen supply increases, which has a positive effect on the condition of all tissues of the genitals.
Home pumps
Some men, at their own risk, decide to use home 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 (a closed baby bottle with a cut-out bottom), a tube (you can take it from a dropper) and a pear (or a large syringe) to evacuate the air. A tube is inserted into the incision on the side of the cover and fixed, connected to a piston device or a pear.
These pumps are traumatic, inconvenient to use and inefficient. Their only advantage is their low price.
It hurts
We understood the positive aspects, can the use of a vacuum pump harm a person?
The disadvantages and possible damages of the vacuum pump for men are the following:
- Unacceptable prolonged use can reduce the sensitivity of the skin of the penis, which will manifest itself in dryness, tingling and severe discomfort.
- The device locally reduces muscle strength, pushing the sperm out, which significantly reduces the chances of conception.
- As a result of using the pump, there is sometimes pain in the penis of varying severity.
- Excessive use of the device reduces the strength and duration of the 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 for smooth skin in the groin area.
This device will not cause discomfort and side effects if you use it strictly according to the instructions, follow all the instructions and control the pressure level with a special manometer.
It is recommended to avoid uncertified devices, as the home pump has a detrimental effect on a man's penis, contributing to skin bleeding, reduced erections and deterioration of the appearance of the penis.
Pumping methods
Experienced users use pumps to purposefully enlarge 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 "packaging" (from English. "For packaging"). 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 along its entire length.
To work on the circumference (diameter), you need a wider flask (4 cm in diameter larger than the circumference of the penis). Too wide a cylinder is uncomfortable and inefficient: the testicles are pulled into it, the foreskin is filled with lymph, the tunic does not stretch well
Safe program and consequences of improper use of the pump
Andrologists do not recommend buying professional pumps in vain, as they are characterized by high quality materials and proven design. From a medical point of view, such devices are not used for long procedures, but only for training the tissues of the penis on the principle of "squeezed-relaxed". Most of the NUPers (from the phrase "natural penis enlargement") try to keep the penis in the bulb possiblethe longest, to the blue of the head. This is very dangerous. For beginners the maximum pressure should not exceed 3-4Hg according to the manometer, 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 one year. During the first 16 weeks, daily half-hour sessions are held, and then the frequency is reduced to once every three days. Thus, you can achieve a permanent 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 occur:
- "Donut effect" - the accumulation of lymph in the skin around the head. After a few days, the swelling disappears without consequences, but it is better not to provoke its appearance.
- Capillary bleeding, hematomas, blisters. The spots after these injuries will remain for a long time. In some cases, the penis can become deformed.
- Necrosis of the head.
- Inflammation of the foreskin.
Pain and tingling in the head, its blue color is a dangerous signal. You must immediately remove the pump and massage the penis.
Contraindications for exercises 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.
In men over the age of 50, doctors usually do not recommend the use of a penis enlargement pump. Tissue elasticity is already reduced; it is almost impossible to stretch the tunic albuginea. The result of such activities is most often extremely injuries.
Help with the appearance of swelling 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 needed:
- Chamomile in bags (in pharmacies).
- Cotton wool.
- Elastic bandage net 3.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
Chamomile should be steamed (2 sachets at a time), pour the solution into a glass or other container where you can dip your penis. The bath should be taken 3-4 times a day for 5-7 minutes (each time new bags are prepared). In the evening after the last procedure, wipe the penis dry, apply ointment, cover with cotton wool, put 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 can not be performed, because the blood has not yet coagulated, healing will take longer. It is advisable to apply cold immediately on a fresh hematoma, thus reducing its area.
In some men, regular pumping causes darkening of the skin of the penis (hyperpigmentation). Nothing can be done about it. If the spots do not disappear, the erection worsens, discomfort is felt, then Doppler imaging of the vessels of the penis should be done (blockage is possible).
Contraindications
There are a number of diseases, conditions in which the use of such a device is not recommended. Absolute contraindications include:
- Diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
- Thrombosis, atherosclerosis.
- Varicose veins of the pelvis.
- Diseases of infectious or inflammatory nature.
- Diseases of the genital area (urological).
- The presence of tumors of different origin.
- Childhood or adolescence.
- Mental disorders.
- Blood clotting disorder.
And also classes are not held if they bring discomfort, are accompanied by the appearance of pain. In this case, they will not be beneficial, but will 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.
The unpleasant consequences can be the following:
- the appearance of darkened areas on the mucosa due to damage to blood capillaries;
- dryness and tingling on the surface of the penis;
- cracks in the mucous layer;
- with hematomas - a feeling of pain;
- soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.
Also, when a vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido can occur.
Opinion of doctors
The opinion of doctors about the use of pumps for penis enlargement is contradictory. Some recommend this method, others are strongly against. Among the first are sexologists and andrologists dealing with erectile dysfunction. The pumps really help to achieve a high quality erection and are safe for the body.
Opponents of the use of vacuum erectors are usually urologists, who consider these devices dangerous. Many men use them so diligently that classes end with penile deformity and impotence. Doctors need to correct these consequences.
Additional elements
Some models have additional elements. These improvements include a scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to it, one can easily determine how much progress has been made in increasing the length thanks to the device.
Another element is a pressure gauge. It can be used to measure a comfortable vacuum level and quickly return to it next time.
Some varieties are equipped with rooster rings to prolong the erection. Inside the cylinder there are additional structures that give the surface an uneven structure with spikes, etc. for a strong feeling. Also, some models have a vibration mode, which adds spiciness.
