It is believed that the first vacuum pump (vacuum former) was invented in 1960 by the American G. Osbon. After a while, this device began to be widely used to stimulate an erection.The pump accelerates the blood filling process of the corpora cavernosa due to the negative pressure on their tissues. . . The main structural elements are a transparent cylinder in which a member and a pump are placed. 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 manometer to check the pressure, various accessories for an optimal adaptation of the bulb to the penis, head protectors and erection rings. The environment created can be not only air, but also water. The greater the functionality of the device, the higher the price.
Justification of efficacy, use in medicine
A vacuum pump is initially not just a sex shop toy, but a physiotherapy medical 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 (syndrome of non-expectation);
- The initial stages of impotence (vacuterapy for erectile dysfunction);
- Chronic prostatitis and prostatic vesiculitis;
- Curvature of the penis after surgery;
- Treatment of Peyronie's disease in the initial stage (with a small angle of curvature and small plaques) and intracavernous chord.
Vacuum pump treatment is called Local Negative Pressure Treatment (LOD) therapy. 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 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 pumped into them, the penis looks larger during erection.
Medical pumps for erection
The effectiveness and safety of operating with a pump directly depend on the quality of the device.
You can buy them in specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or on order at distribution sites. In addition to functional devices, a high-quality pump is always supplied with a 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 into it.
- Lubricate the penis and place it in the cylinder (the scrotum should be slightly pulled back).
- Press the button, create the vacuum, press the cylinder firmly to the body.
- By pressing the button, pump the air until the penis reaches 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 edge.
Prepare for therapy
Before starting a session, it is necessary 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 the contraindications can be easily eliminated psychological aspects.
Before using the pump, wash it with warm soapy water. It is forbidden to boil or pour boiling water over it. Also, it is not possible to use the pump for more than one person. The pump is quite fragile and must be used carefully and not thrown away. It is necessary to store the vacuum in a dark and dry place at a temperature not higher than 35 degrees.
Algorithm for carrying out the procedure:
- Before putting on the pump, it is better to lubricate its base with a special lubricant;
- A grease that is too greasy will make 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, it is necessary to lubricate the penis with ointment to increase the blood supply;
- Next, it follows from the pump to pump 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 air from the inside;
- The hole in the balloon must be blocked and, if there is a valve, close it;
- During the session, you can see a slight increase in erection and redness of the penis. After half a minute, it is necessary to open the valve and allow air to enter the balloon;
- The procedure takes about 20 minutes. During this time, an erection will occur about 20 times for one minute.
With systematic use of the pump at intervalsevery two daysyou can get meaningful results.
For the first 14 days, it is recommended to use the vacuum cleaner at night, two hours before bedtime, for 30 seconds. Over the next few weeks, you can increase the impact of the pump by up to 60 seconds by taking a 2 minute break. If the erection weakens immediately after the session, an erection ring should be used. 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 budget. They differ in quality of materials, design features and equipment.
According to the type of work environment, the pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (water pumps).The latter are considered safer, since not air, but hot water acts on the tissues of the penis (the larger the volume that merges from the bulb, the stronger the effect on the penis). The control can be both manual (hand pump, pear) and automatic (electronic control via button).
Variety of vacuum devices for men
The key element of the pump design, which should be guided in the choice, is a balloon (cylinder). It should be 5cm longer than an erect penis. If there is excess weight (large belly), another 2 cm is added. The diameter (that is why the flasks are marked) for classic pumping should be 1-2 cm larger. To determine the size of the bulb, it is necessary 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 clean with an antiseptic solution, dry thoroughly.
How does it work
The air is gradually evacuated from the balloon, as a result of which a decrease in pressure occurs in the internal space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain the correct shape, which accompanies the erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, of which there are a lot of them on the mucous membrane of the penis, so the penis becomes hard quite quickly compared to a normal erection.
After creating a vacuum, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the speed of blood flow increases. Basically, it feels like heat in the lower abdomen and groin.
- The corpora cavernosa 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.
- Oxygen supply is increased, which has a positive effect on the condition of all tissues of the genital organs.
Homemade pumps
Some men, at their own risk, decide to use homemade pumps. In all respects, they are inferior even to 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-off bottom), a tube (you can get it from a dropper) and a pear (or large syringe) to evacuate the air. On the side of the lid, 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 understood the positives, can the use of a vacuum pump harm a man?
The disadvantages and possible harms of a vacuum pump for men are as follows:
- Unacceptable long-term use can reduce the sensitivity of the penis skin, which is manifested by dryness, numbness and severe discomfort.
- The device locally reduces the muscle force that pushes the sperm outward, which greatly 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 due to injury to the small vessels.
- For some, the downside is the simple requirement for 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 check 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 bleeding, decreased erection and deterioration in the appearance of the penis.
Pumping methods
Experienced users use pumps for targeted penis enlargement in length or thickness using special techniques. To lengthen or correct the shape of the penis (with a large curve), you will need a long narrow bulb. The technique is called "packing" (from 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 inserted into the flask, the penis must be lubricated with lubricant along its entire length.
To work on the circumference (diameter), you need a wider flask (with a diameter of 4 cm larger than the circumference of the penis). Too large a cylinder is uncomfortable and ineffective: the testicles are pulled in, 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 in vain recommend the purchase of professional pumps, as 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, but only to train the tissues of the penis according to the "squeezed-relaxed" principle. Most NUPers (from the phrase "natural penis enlargement") try to keep the penis in the bulb for as long as possible, until the blue of the head. It is really 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. . . Eventually, a five-minute massage is performed to normalize blood flow.
The medical program for penis enlargement with a pump is designed for one year. In the first 16 weeks, half-hour sessions are done daily, then the frequency is reduced to once every three days. Thus, you can get a persistent increase in the length of 3 cm, in the thickness of 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 spots 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 in the head, its blue coloring is a dangerous sign. 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 pain relievers.
- Inflammation of the pelvic organs, including those caused by sexually transmitted infections.
For men over 50, doctors generally advise against using a penis enlargement pump. The elasticity of the tissues is already reduced, it is almost impossible to stretch the tunica albuginea. The result of such activities is more often than not exclusively injuries.
Helps with the appearance of edema and dark spots on the penis (NUPers experience)
To eliminate the negative consequences of careless use of the pump as soon as possible, the following materials will be needed:
- Chamomile in bags (at the pharmacy).
- Rolled cotton.
- Elastic net for bandages n. 3.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
Chamomile must be prepared (2 sachets at a time), pour the solution into a glass or any other container in which to immerse the penis. Bathing should be taken 3-4 times a day for 5-7 minutes (each time prepare new bags). In the evening after the last procedure, wipe the penis dry, smear with ointment, cover with a cotton swab, 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 cannot be performed, since the blood has not yet clotted, the lesion will take longer to heal. It is recommended 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 disappear, the erection worsens, discomfort is felt, then Doppler ultrasound 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. 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 (urological) area.
- The presence of tumor formations of various origins.
- Childhood or adolescence.
- Mental disorders.
- Blood clotting disorder.
And even the lessons are not carried out if they bring discomfort, they are accompanied by the appearance of pain. In this case, they will not be useful, 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 dark 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;
- soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.
Also, when vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido can occur.
Opinion of doctors
The opinion of doctors about the use of penis enlargement pumps is controversial. Some recommend this method, others are strongly against it. Among the former are sexologists and andrologists who deal with the problems of erectile dysfunction. The 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 dangerous. Many men use them with such zeal that classes end with penile deformity and impotence. Doctors must correct these consequences.
Additional elements
Some models have additional elements. These updates include a scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to her, a man 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 feature phallic rings to help prolong an erection. There are additional structures inside the cylinder which give the surface an irregular and pointed structure, etc. For a punchy feel. Additionally, some models have a vibration mode, which adds spiciness.
