The first vacuum (vacuum forming) pump is believed to have been invented in 1960 by the American G. Osbon. After a while, this device began to be used widely to stimulate erection.The pump accelerates the process of filling the corpora cavernosa with blood 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. 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 monitor the pressure, various accessories for an 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 the device has, the higher the price.
Justification of efficacy, use in medicine.
Initially, a vacuum pump is 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 (expectation of failure syndrome);
- The initial stages of impotence (vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction);
- Chronic prostatitis and prostatic vesiculitis;
- Curvature of the penis after surgery;
- Treatment of early stage Peyronie's disease (with small angle of curvature and small plaques) and intracavernous chord.
Vacuum pump treatment is called LOD therapy (Local Negative Pressure Treatment). 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 corpora cavernosa are stretched, more blood is put into them, the penis appears larger during an erection.
Medical erection pumps
The effectiveness and safety of exercising with a pump depends directly on the quality of the device.
You can buy them in specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or by 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 it up.
- Lubricate the rim of the cylinder and slide the o-ring over it.
- Lubricate the penis and place it in the cylinder (the scrotum should be slightly back).
- Press the button, create a vacuum, press the cylinder firmly against the body.
- By pressing the button, pump the air until the penis reaches the maximum erection (there may be a moderate discomfort in the head).
- To have sex, 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 (not tapered), the base with a wide edge.
Preparing 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 reason for contraindications can be psychological aspects that are easily eliminated.
Before using the pump, wash it with warm soapy water. Boiling or pouring boiling water on it is prohibited. Also, you cannot use the pump for multiple people. The pump is quite fragile and must be used with care and not thrown away. You should store the vacuum cleaner in a dark, dry place at a temperature not exceeding 35 degrees.
Algorithm to perform the procedure:
- Before putting the pump, it is better to lubricate its base with a special lubricant;
- Too greasy grease will render the vacuum pump useless;
- Place the penis at the base of the pump and press firmly against the scrotum;
- Before the start of the session, you need to lubricate the penis with ointment to increase blood supply;
- It then proceeds from the pump to pump air, thus increasing the pressure in the pump and creating a blood flow to the organ;
- Hold the vacuum cleaner with your left hand, and with the other, using a pear, you need to pump air from the inside;
- The hole in the flask must be closed, and if there is a valve, close it;
- During the session, a slight increase in erection and redness of the penis can be observed. 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 over a minute.
With the systematic use of the pump at intervalsevery two dayscan achieve significant results.
During the first 14 days, it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner at night, two hours before bedtime, for 30 seconds. Over the next several weeks, you can increase the impact of the pump up to 60 seconds, while taking a 2-minute break. If immediately after the session the erection weakens, then you should use an erection ring. It is attached to the base of the penis.
Types of commercial pumps, selection and care recommendations.
Today on the Internet, you can order a pump for every taste and wallet. They differ in material quality, design features and equipment.
Depending on the type of working environment, the pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (hydropumps).The latter are considered safer, since it is not the air, but the warm water that acts on the tissues of the penis (the greater the volume of the bulb, the stronger the effect on the penis). The control can be both manual (manual 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 when choosing, is a flask (cylinder). It should be 5 cm longer than an erect penis. If there is excess weight (big belly), another 2 cm is added. The diameter (that's what the bottles are marked for) for 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.
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 flask, due to which a rarefaction of pressure occurs in the interior space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain 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 many on the mucous membrane of the penis, so that the penis hardens fast enough compared to a normal erection.
After creating a vacuum, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the speed of blood flow increases. In practice, 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.
- The oxygen supply is increased, which has a positive effect on the state of all tissues of the genital organs.
Homemade pumps
Some men, at their own risk and expense, decide to use homemade pumps. In all respects, they are inferior to even the cheapest industrial models, but if desired, you can assemble such a device. This will require a plastic cylinder (a closed bottle with the bottom cut out), a tube (you can take 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 fixed, connected to a piston device or a pear.
These pumps are traumatic, uncomfortable to use, and ineffective. Its only advantage is its low cost.
To damage
We discovered the positives, can using a vacuum pump harm a man?
The disadvantages and possible damages of a vacuum pump for men are as follows:
- Long-term unacceptable use can reduce the sensitivity of the penis skin, which will manifest itself in dryness, numbness, and severe discomfort.
- The device locally reduces the muscle force that pushes sperm outward, greatly reducing the chances of conception.
- As a result of using the pump, sometimes there is pain in the penis of different severity.
- Excessive use of the device reduces the strength and duration of an erection.
- Purplish-red spots appear on the skin of the penis as a result of 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 or undesirable effects if you use it strictly according to the instructions, follow all instructions, and monitor 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 impaired appearance of the penis.
Pumping methods
Experienced users use pumps for specific penis enlargement in length or girth 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. "Packing"). The essence of the method is that the erect penis touches the walls (there will be no stretching of the tissues to the width) and the head is sucked into the free space in front. Before placing it in the bottle, the penis must be lubricated with lubricant along its entire length.
To work on the girth (diameter), you need a wider jar (with a diameter of 4 cm larger than the girth of the penis). Too wide a cylinder is inconvenient and ineffective: the testicles are pushed into it, the foreskin is full of lymph, the tunic does not stretch well
Safe program and consequences of pump misuse
Andrologists do not in vain recommend buying 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, only to train the tissues of the penis according to the "tighten-relax" principle. Most NUPs (from the phrase "natural penis enlargement") try to keep the penis in the bulb for as long as possible, up to the blue of the head. It's 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 Pump Penis Enlargement Program is designed for one year. In the first 16 weeks, daily sessions of half an hour 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 wears off soon.
If the device is used incorrectly, negative consequences arise:
- "Donut effect": accumulation of lymph in the skin around the head. After a few days, the edema disappears without consequences, but it is better not to cause it to appear.
- Capillary bleeding, bruising, blisters. Stains after these injuries will remain for a long time. In some cases, the penis can become deformed.
- Head necrosis.
- Inflammation of the foreskin.
Pain and tingling in the head, its blue discoloration is a dangerous sign. You should immediately remove the pump and massage the penis.
Contraindications to pump exercise:
- Priapism (prolonged and painful erection).
- Fragility of blood vessels (frequent contusions, bruises, 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 do not recommend the use of a penis enlargement pump. The elasticity of the tissues has already been reduced, it is almost impossible to stretch the tunica albuginea. The result of such activities is usually exclusively injuries.
Helps with the appearance of edema and dark spots on the penis (NUP 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 sachets (in pharmacies).
- Rolled cotton.
- Elastic bandage mesh n. 3.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
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, dry the penis, spread it with ointment, cover it with a cotton ball and 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 injury will take longer to heal. It is advisable to apply cold immediately on a fresh bruise, thus minimizing its area.
In some men, regular pumping causes the skin of the penis to darken (hyperpigmentation). There is nothing you can do about it. If the spots do not disappear, the erection worsens, discomfort is felt, then a Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the penis should be performed (it may be blocked).
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.
- Small pelvic varicose veins.
- 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 furthermore, classes are not held if they bring discomfort, they are accompanied by the appearance of pain. In this case, they will not be beneficial, they 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.
Unpleasant consequences can be the following:
- 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 bruises: feeling of pain;
- soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.
In addition, when the erection is abused under vacuum, a decrease in libido can occur.
Doctors opinion
The opinion of doctors on the use of pumps to enlarge the penis is controversial. Some recommend this method, others are totally 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 are safe for the body.
Opponents of the use of vacuum erectors are often urologists who consider these devices to be dangerous. Many men use them with such zeal that classes end in penis 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 it, a man can easily determine how much progress has been made in increasing length thanks to the device.
Another item is a pressure gauge. It can be used to measure a comfortable vacuum level and quickly return to it the next time.
Some varieties are equipped with penis rings to help prolong the erection. There are additional structures within the cylinder that give the surface an irregular structure, with spikes, etc. for a punchy feel. Also, some models have a vibrate mode, which adds spice.
