It is believed that the first vacuum pump (vacuum lifter) was invented in 1960 by the American G. Osbon. After a while, this device began to be widely used to stimulate erections.The pump accelerates the blood filling process of the corpora cavernosa due to the negative pressure on the tissues. . . The main structural elements are a transparent cylinder in which an element and a pump are housed. The air is pumped out, the penis is in an empty space, its blood vessels dilate as much as possible and fill with blood.
Modern pumps provide a pressure gauge, various accessories for the optimal fit of the bulb to the penis, headgear and mounting rings. The environment created can be not only air but also water. The more functionality the device has, the higher the price.
Demonstration of efficacy, use in medicine
The vacuum pump was initially not just a toy for a sex shop, but a medical physiotherapy device whose effectiveness has been officially recognized. It is used in andrology in the following cases:
- Vascular erectile dysfunction;
- Psychogenic sexual problems (expectation syndrome);
- Initial stages of impotence (vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction);
- Chronic prostatitis and prostatitis;
- Curvature of the penis after surgery;
- Treatment of Peyronie's disease in the initial stage (small angle of curvature and small plaques) and intracavernous chord.
Vacuum pump treatment is called LOD (Local Negative Pressure Treatment) therapy. Low pressure forces capillaries and arteries that are not used during a natural erection to open, increasing the useful volume of the penis. Active irritation of the head receptors occurs, the signal is transmitted to the brain and spinal cord, and the activity of the spinal centers of erection and ejaculation is stabilized. The session lasts for 30 seconds, then the pressure is gradually released, the erection weakens.
To enlarge the penis, the device works as follows: when exposed to regular negative pressure, the tissues of the cavernous bodies become tense, more blood gets into them, and the penis appears larger during an erection.
Medical erection pumps
The effectiveness and safety of pump training depends directly on the quality of the device.
You can buy them at specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or to order on distribution sites. In addition to functional devices, the high-quality pump always has personal lubricant and detailed instructions.
How to use:
- Massage your penis for 5 minutes to warm it 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 pulled back slightly).
- Press the button, create a vacuum, press the cylinder firmly against the body.
- Press the button to pump out the air until the penis reaches a maximum erection (there may be a moderate discomfort in the head).
- For intercourse, you must roll the ring from the cylinder to the penis, the erection will remain after the pump is removed.
In a high quality pump, the cylinder must be straight (without taper), the base with a wide edge.
Preparing for therapy
You should consult a professional before beginning the meeting. Only one specialist can examine the patient and identify contraindications to the use of vacuum therapy. Sometimes contraindications can be caused by psychological considerations that can be easily eliminated.
Wash with soap and warm water before using the pump. Do not boil or pour boiling water on it. Also, you cannot use the pump for more than one person. The pump is quite fragile, so use it with care and do not throw it away. The vacuum should be stored in a dark and dry place at a temperature not exceeding 35 degrees.
Algorithm for performing the procedure:
- Before installing the pump, it is better to lubricate the base with a special lubricant;
- Too greasy grease renders the vacuum pump unusable;
- Place the penis at the bottom of the pump and press firmly against the scrotum;
- Before the start of the session, lubricate your penis with an ointment to increase the blood supply;
- The pump is then pumped out of the pump, thereby increasing the pressure in the pump and creating blood flow in the organ;
- Grasp the vacuum with your left hand and use the other pear to pump out the air from the inside;
- The flask hole should be clamped and, if there is a valve, close;
- During the session, you may see a slight increased erection and redness of the penis. After half a minute, open the valve and allow air to enter the flask;
- The procedure takes about 20 minutes. During this period, erection occurs about 20 times per minute.
With regular use of the pump at intervalsevery two dayscan achieve significant results.
For the first 14 days, it is recommended to use a vacuum for 30 seconds at night, two hours before bedtime. In the coming weeks, you can increase the effect of the pump for up to 60 seconds while taking a 2-minute break. If your erection weakens immediately after sitting, you should use an erection ring. It is attached to the base of the penis.
Types of commercial pumps, recommendations for selection and maintenance
Today, you can order a pump for all tastes and wallets online. They differ in material quality, design characteristics and equipment.
Depending on the type of work environment, the pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (water pumps).The latter are considered safer because it is not the air but the warm water that affects the tissues of the penis (the larger the volume of the bulb merges, the stronger the effect on the penis). The control can be manual (hand pump, pear) and automatic (electronic control with one button).
Different types of vacuum devices for men
A key element of pump design to consider when selecting is a flask (cylinder). It should be 5 cm longer than an erect penis. If you are overweight (large abdomen), add an additional 2 cm. The diameter of the classic pumping (marked for this flask) 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 the number pi - 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 thoroughly.
How It Works
The flask is gradually evacuated, causing a rare amount of pressure in the interior - a vacuum is created. As a result, the penis begins to maintain the proper shape that accompanies an erection. During this period, there is an effect on the reflex points and nerve endings, many of which are on the mucous membranes of the penis, so that the penis hardens fairly quickly compared to a normal erection.
After creating the vacuum, the following happens:
- The speed of blood flow in the groin area increases. In practice, it appears to be warm 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 is doubled compared to a normal erection.
- There is an increase in oxygen supply, which has a positive effect on the condition of all genital tissues.
Household pumps
Some men, at their own risk and risk, choose to use a house pump. They are inferior in all respects to the cheapest industrial models, but if you want, you can put together such a device. This will require a plastic cylinder (closed baby bottle, cut bottom), tube (taken from a dropper) and a pear (or large syringe) to draw in air. A tube is placed in the incision on the side of the sheath and secured to a piston device or pear.
These pumps are traumatic, uncomfortable to use and inefficient. Their only advantage is the low cost.
Grievance
We figured out the positive aspects, can using a vacuum pump harm a person?
The disadvantages and possible disadvantages of a vacuum pump for men include:
- Unacceptable long-term use can reduce the sensitivity of the skin of the penis, manifested by dryness, numbness, and severe discomfort.
- The device locally reduces the outward-pushing muscle strength of the sperm, which greatly reduces the chances of conception.
- The use of the pump sometimes results in pain of varying severity in the penis.
- Excessive use of the device reduces the strength and duration of the erection.
- Purple-red spots appear on the skin of the penis due to damage to small blood vessels.
- For some, the downside is the simple requirement to have smooth skin in the groin area.
This device will not cause any inconvenience or undesirable effects if used strictly according to the instructions, follow all instructions and regulate the pressure level with a special pressure gauge.
It is recommended to avoid non-certified devices as a home-made pump has a detrimental effect on a man’s penis, contributing to skin bleeding, decreased erections, and worsening of the appearance of the penis.
Pumping methods
Experienced users use pumps for targeted penis enlargement, in length or thickness, using special techniques. You will need a narrow and long bulb to lengthen or correct the shape of your penis (with great bending). The technique is called "to pack". The essence of the method is that the erect male member touches the walls (there will be no stretching of the tissues in width) and the head is sucked into the anterior free space. Prior to placement in the flask, the entire length of the penis should be lubricated.
A wider flask (4 cm larger than the circumference of the penis) is required to machine the circumference (diameter). Too wide a cylinder is uncomfortable and inefficient: the testicles are pulled in, the foreskin is filled with lymph, the tunic does not stretch well
Safe program and consequences of incorrect use of the pump
Andrologists are not in vain recommending the purchase of professional pumps, as they are characterized by high quality materials and controlled design. From a medical point of view, such devices are not used for long-term procedures, only for the training of the tissues of the penis according to the "squeezed-relaxed" principle. Most NUPers (from the term "natural penis enlargement") try to keep the penis in the bulb for as long as possible, all the way to the blue of the head. Very dangerous. For beginners, the maximum pressure according to the pressure gauge should not exceed 3-4 Hg, the maximum duration of the hour 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. For the first 16 weeks, half-hour sessions are performed daily, and then the frequency is reduced to once every three days. Thus, its permanent length can be increased by 3 cm and its thickness by 1 cm. After a session with a pump, the penis grows by about 10%, but the effect soon disappears.
Improper use of the device has negative consequences:
- "Donut effect" - the accumulation of lymph in the skin around the head. After a few days, the edema will disappear without consequences, but it is better not to provoke its appearance.
- Capillary bleeding, hematomas, blisters. Stains after injuries persist for a long time. In some cases, the penis may be deformed.
- Head necrosis.
- Inflammation of the foreskin.
Head pain and tingling, blue discoloration is a dangerous sign. Immediately remove the pump and massage the penis.
Contraindications to pump exercises:
- Priapism (long and painful erection).
- Fragility of blood vessels (frequent bruises, hematomas, subcutaneous bleeding, vascular networks).
- Taking painkillers.
- Inflammation of the pelvic organs, including those caused by sexually transmitted infections.
For men over the age of 50, doctors usually do not recommend using a pump to enlarge the penis. The elasticity of the tissues has already decreased, it is almost impossible to stretch the tunica albuginea. Such activities most often result solely from injuries.
Help with dark patches of edema and penis (NUPers experience)
In order to eliminate the negative consequences of careless use of the pump as soon as possible, the following materials will be required:
- Chamomile in a bag (in pharmacies).
- Rolled cotton wool.
- Flexible knitting net no.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
The chamomile should be cooked (2 sachets at a time), pour the solution into a glass or any other container where we can dip our penis. The bath should be removed 3-4 times a day for 5-7 minutes (each time new bags need to be cooked). In the evening, after the last procedure, wipe your penis dry, smear it, cover it with cotton wool, apply a bandage to it. After a few days of treatment, the tissues recover.
Important: the above manipulations cannot be performed for the first 2-3 days after the injury, as the blood has not yet clotted, the healing of the injury takes longer. It is advisable to apply the fresh hematoma immediately in the cold, thus 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 deteriorates, you feel uncomfortable, a Doppler ultrasound examination of the blood vessels of the penis should be performed (blockage possible).
Contraindications
There are many diseases and conditions in which the use of such a device is not recommended. The absolute contraindications are:
- Cardiovascular diseases.
- Thrombosis, atherosclerosis.
- Varicose veins of the pelvis.
- Infectious or inflammatory diseases.
- Reproductive system diseases (urological).
- Presence of tumor formations of different origins.
- In childhood or adolescence.
- Mental disorders.
- Blood clotting disorder.
And classes are not conducted either when they cause discomfort and are painful. 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 between 18 and 65 years.
Side effects
Side effects are possible in cases where the device has been used incorrectly or the person had contraindications that were not taken into account.
Unpleasant consequences can include:
- the appearance of dark areas on the mucosa due to damage to the blood capillaries;
- dryness and numbness of the surface of the penis;
- cracks in the mucous membranes;
- with hematomas - feeling of pain;
- swelling of soft tissues due to microtrauma.
Furthermore, if a vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido may also occur.
Opinions of doctors
Doctors ’opinions on the use of pumps to enlarge the penis are controversial. Some recommend this method, others strongly oppose it. Among the first are sexologists and andrologists who deal 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 with such zeal that the hours end with penile deformity and impotence. Physicians need to remedy these consequences.
Additional items
Some models have additional elements. These improvements include the 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 the pressure gauge. It can be used to measure the comfortable level of vacuuming and return to it quickly next time.
Some breeds are equipped with cock rings that help prolong the erection. Inside the cylinder, there are additional structures that give the surface a bumpy, spiky structure, and so on. In addition, some models also have a vibration mode, which lends piquancy.
