It is believed that the first vacuum pump (vacuum cleaner) was invented in 1960 by the American G. Osbon. After a while, this device began to be widely used to stimulate the erection.The pump accelerates the blood filling process 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, the penis is in a discharged space, its vessels expand as much as possible and are filled with blood.
Modern pumps provide a pressure gauge for pressure control, various components for optimal fit of the bulb in the penis, head protectors and erection rings. The environment that is created can be not only air, but also water. The more functionality the device has, the higher the price.
Justification of effectiveness, use in medicine
The vacuum pump is initially not just a toy from a sex shop, but a medical physiotherapy device, the effectiveness of which is officially recognized. Used in andrology in the following cases:
- Vascular erectile dysfunction.
- Sexual problems of a psychogenic nature (failure waiting syndrome).
- The early stages of impotence (vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction).
- Chronic prostatitis and cystitis of the prostate.
- 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 endotracheal string.
Vacuum pump therapy is called LOD therapy (local negative pressure therapy). Low blood pressure causes capillaries and arteries that are not used during a natural erection to open, increasing the beneficial 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 erectile and ejaculatory spine centers 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 cavernous bodies are stretched, more blood is placed in them, the penis appears larger during the erection.
Medical erection pumps
The effectiveness and safety of pumping exercise depends directly on the quality of the device.
You can buy them in specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or upon order in distribution sites. In addition to the functional devices, a high quality pump always comes with personal lubricant and detailed instructions.
How to use:
- Massage your penis for 5 minutes to warm up.
- Lubricate the tip of the cylinder and slide the O-ring on it.
- Lubricate the penis and place it on the cylinder (the scrotum should be pulled back slightly).
- Press the button, create a vacuum, press the roller firmly on the body.
- Push the button, pump the air until the penis reaches the maximum erection (moderate discomfort in the head is possible).
- To have contact, you must roll the ring from the cylinder to the penis, the erection will remain after removing the pump.
In a high quality pump, the cylinder must be straight (without conicality), the base with a wide contour.
Preparing for treatment
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 reason for the contraindications can be psychological aspects that are easily eliminated.
Before using the pump, wash it with warm soapy water. It is forbidden to boil or pour boiling water on it. Also, you can not use the pump for many people. The pump is quite fragile and must be used carefully and not thrown 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 best to lubricate its base with a special lubricant.
- The very greasy grease makes the vacuum pump useless.
- Place the penis at the base of the pump and press it firmly into the scrotum.
- Before the start of the session, you should lubricate the penis with ointment to increase the blood supply.
- This is followed by the pumping of air from the pump, thus increasing the pressure in the pump and creating a flow of blood to the instrument.
- Hold the broom with your left hand and with the other, using a pear, you must draw air from inside.
- The hole in the bottle 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 must open the valve and allow air to enter the bottle.
- The process takes about 20 minutes. During this period, an erection will occur about 20 times in one minute.
With 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 cleaner at night, two hours before bedtime, for 30 seconds. In the coming weeks, you can increase the pump bump for up to 60 seconds while 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, design features and equipment.
Depending on the type of working environment, the pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (water pumps).The latter are considered safer, as not air, but hot water acts on the tissues of the penis (the larger the volume merged by the bulb, the stronger the effect on the penis). The control can be manual (hand pump, pear) and automatic (electronic control with one button).
Varieties of vacuum devices for men
The key element of the pump design, which must be guided when selecting, is a cylinder (cylinder). It should be 5 cm longer than an upright penis. If there is excess weight (big belly), then another 2 cm are added. The diameter (for which the bottles are marked) for the classic pumping should be 1-2 cm larger. To determine the size of your bulb, you need to measure the circumference of the erect penis and divide it by the number pi - 3. 14.
Typical care recommendations: after the procedure, disassemble the appliance, rinse with water and a mild detergent and wipe with an antiseptic solution, dry well.
How does it work
The air is gradually evacuated from the cylinder, due to which a rare pressure occurs inside - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain the correct shape, which accompanies an erection. During this period, the effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, many of which are in the lining of the penis, so the penis becomes quite hard fairly quickly compared to a normal erection.
After creating a gap, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the blood flow rate increases. In practice, it feels like warmth in the lower abdomen and groin.
- The cavernous bodies inside the penis are full of blood. Studies have shown that the blood saturation of the penis under vacuum doubles compared to a normal erection.
- Oxygen supply is increased, which has a positive effect on the condition of all genital tissues.
Homemade pumps
Some men, with risk and danger, decide to use homemade pumps. In every way, 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 bottle with a cut bottom), a tube (you can get it from a dropper) and a pear (or a large syringe) to evacuate the air. On the side of the cover, a tube is inserted into the incision and fastened, connected to a piston device or a pear.
These pumps are traumatic, inconvenient to use and inefficient. Their only advantage is their low cost.
Harm
We understood the positive aspects, can the use of a vacuum pump harm a person?
The disadvantages and potential of a vacuum pump for men are:
- Unacceptable long-term use can reduce the sensitivity of the skin of the penis, which will manifest itself in dryness, numbness and intense discomfort.
- The device locally reduces the muscular force that pushes the sperm out, which significantly 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 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 check the pressure level with a special manometer.
It is recommended to avoid uncertified devices, as a homemade pump has a detrimental effect on a man's penis, contributing to skin bleeding, reducing erection and worsening 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 bend), you will need a narrow and long bulb. The technique is called "packing" (from English. "To pack"). The essence of the method is that the upright penis touches the walls (there will be no expansion of the tissues in width) and the head is absorbed in the free space in front. Before being placed in the bottle, the penis must be lubricated along its entire length.
To work on the perimeter (diameter), you need a wider bottle (4 cm larger than the circumference of the penis). A very wide cylinder is uncomfortable and ineffective: the testicles are pulled inside, the foreskin is full of lymph, the tunic does not stretch well
Safe program and consequences of pump misuse
Andrologists do not recommend buying professional pumps in vain, as they are distinguished by high quality materials and verified design. From a medical point of view, such devices are not used for long-term procedures, only for the training of the penile tissues according to the principle of "compression-relaxation". 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 course is 20-30 minutes. . . Finally, a five-minute massage is performed to normalize blood flow.
The medical program for penis enlargement with a pump has been designed for one year. For 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 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, there are negative consequences:
- "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 cause it to appear.
- Capillary bleeding, hematomas, blisters. Stains after these injuries will remain for a long time. In some cases, the penis may become deformed.
- Head necrosis.
- Inflammation of the foreskin.
Pain and tingling in the head, its blue discoloration is a dangerous sign. You should remove the pump immediately and massage the penis.
Contraindications to pump exercise:
- 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 generally do not recommend the use of a penis enlargement pump. Tissue elasticity is already reduced; it is almost impossible to stretch tunica albuginea. The result of such activities is most often only injuries.
Help with swelling and dark spots on the penis (NUPers experience)
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).
- Cotton rolls.
- Elastic bandage mesh No 3.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
The chamomile should be prepared (2 sachets at a time), 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 you prepare new bags). In the evening after the last procedure, wipe the penis dry, smear with ointment, cover with cotton, put on a bandage. 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, as the blood has not yet thickened, the injury will take longer to heal. It is recommended to apply cold immediately on a fresh hematoma, 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 disappear, the erection worsens, you feel discomfort, then a Doppler ultrasound of the penile vessels should be done (occlusion is possible).
Contraindications
There are many 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 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 the lessons are not conducted if they bring discomfort, they 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 dark areas in the mucous membrane due to damage to the blood capillaries.
- dryness and numbness of the surface of the penis.
- cracks in the mucosal layer.
- with hematomas - feeling of pain.
- soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.
Also, when a vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido may occur.
Doctors' opinion
The opinion of doctors about the use of pumps for penis enlargement is controversial. Some suggest this method, others strongly oppose it. Among the first are sexologists and andrologists who deal with the problems of erectile dysfunction. Pumps really help to achieve a high quality erection and are safe for the body.
Opponents of using electrical detectors are usually urologists who consider these devices dangerous. Many men use them with such zeal that the lessons end in deformity and impotence of the penis. Doctors need to correct these consequences.
Additional information
Some models have additional features. These upgrades include a scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to it, a man can easily determine how much progress has been made in increasing the length thanks to the device.
Another element is a manometer. It can be used to measure a comfortable level of vacuum cleaner and return quickly to it next time.
Some varieties are equipped with rooster rings to help prolong the erection. There are additional structures inside the cylinder that give the surface an irregular, sharp structure, etc. For a sense of piercing. Also, some models have a vibration function, which adds spicy.
