It is believed that the first vacuum pump (vacuum ector) 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 speeds up the blood filling process of the corpus cavernosum 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 an unloaded space, its vessels expand as much as possible and fill with blood.
Modern pumps provide a pressure gauge to control pressure, various accessories for optimal bulb-to-penis fit, head protectors and erection rings. The environment created can be not just air, but also water. The more functionality 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 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 failure syndrome);
- The early stages of impotence (vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction);
- Chronic prostatitis and prostate vesiculitis;
- Penis curvature after surgery;
- Treatment of early-stage Peyronie's disease (with small angle of curvature and small plaques) and intracavernous cord.
Treatment with a vacuum pump is called LOD (Local Negative Pressure Treatment) therapy. Low pressure forces the capillaries and arteries that aren't used during a natural erection to open, increasing the usable volume of the penis. Active irritation of the head receptors 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 enlarge the penis, the device works in the following way: with regular exposure to negative pressure, the tissues of the corpora cavernosa are stretched, more blood is put into them, the penis looks bigger 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 at specialized medical institutions, pharmacies or on demand at distribution locations. 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 cylinder rim and slide the O-ring over 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.
- When pressing the button, pump air until the penis reaches maximum erection (mild head discomfort is possible).
- To have sex, you need to roll the cylinder ring onto the penis, the erection will remain after removing the pump.
On a high quality pump, the cylinder should be straight (no taper), the base with a wide edge.
Preparing for therapy
Before starting a session, you need to consult an expert. 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. It is forbidden to boil or pour boiling water over it. Also, you cannot use the bomb for multiple people. The bomb is quite fragile and must be used with care and must not be thrown away. You need to store the vacuum in a dark, dry place at a temperature no higher than 35 degrees.
Algorithm to perform the procedure:
- Before placing the pump, it is best 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 starting the session, it is necessary to lubricate the penis with ointment to increase the blood supply;
- It then follows the pump to pump the air, 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 the air from inside;
- The bottle orifice must be closed and, if there is a valve, close it;
- During the session, you may see a slight increase in erection and redness in the penis. After half a minute, you need to open the valve and allow air to enter the bottle;
- The procedure takes about 20 minutes. During this period, an erection will occur approximately 20 times per minute.
With systematic use of the pump at intervalsevery two daysyou can get significant results.
During the first 14 days, it is recommended to use a vacuum at night, two hours before bedtime, for 30 seconds. Over the next few weeks, you can increase the pump's impact by up to 60 seconds while taking a 2-minute break. If immediately after the session the erection weakens, you will need to wear 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 all tastes and budgets. They differ in material quality, design features and equipment.
By the type of working environment, the pumps are divided into vacuum (air) and water (hydro-pumps).The latter are considered safer, as not air, but hot water acts on the tissues of the penis (the greater the volume that comes out of the bulb, the stronger the effect on the penis). Control can be manual (manual pump, pear) and automatic (electronic control by button).
Varieties of Vacuum Devices for Men
The key element of 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 are added. The diameter (this is 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 your erect penis and divide it by the number pi - 3, 14.
Standard care recommendations: after the procedure, disassemble the device, rinse with water and neutral detergent and apply an antiseptic solution, dry well.
How it works
Air is gradually evacuated from the flask, due to which a rarefaction of pressure occurs in the inner space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis starts to maintain the correct shape, which accompanies an erection. During this period, an effect is felt in the reflex points and nerve endings, of which there are many in the mucous membrane of the penis, so the penis hardens quickly enough compared to a normal erection.
After creating a vacuum, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the blood flow rate 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 condition of all tissues in the genitals.
homemade bombs
Some men, at their own peril, decide to use homemade bombs. 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 bottle with a cut-off bottom), a tube (you can take it out of an eyedropper) and a pear (or a large syringe) to evacuate the air. On the side of the cap, a tube is inserted into the incision and secured, connected to a piston or pear device.
These pumps are traumatic, inconvenient to use and ineffective. Its only advantage is the low cost.
Hurt
We discovered the positive aspects, can the use of a vacuum pump harm a man?
The disadvantages and possible harms of a men's vacuum pump are as follows:
- Unacceptable long-term use can reduce penile skin sensitivity, which will manifest itself in dryness, numbness and severe discomfort.
- The device locally reduces the muscle force that pushes sperm outward, which greatly reduces the chances of conception.
- As a result of using the pump, there is sometimes penile pain of varying severity.
- Excessive use of the device reduces the strength and duration of an erection.
- Reddish-purple patches appear on the skin of the penis as a result of lesions in 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 as instructed, follow all instructions, and monitor the pressure level with a special gauge.
It is recommended to avoid uncertified devices, as a handcrafted pump has a detrimental effect on a man's penis, contributing to cutaneous bleeding, decreased erection and deterioration in the appearance of the penis.
Pumping Methods
Experienced users use pumps to increase the size or thickness of the penis using special techniques. To lengthen or correct the shape of the penis (with a great curvature), you will need a long, narrow bulb. The technique is called "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 placed in the bottle, the penis must be lubricated with lubricant along its entire length.
To work the circumference (diameter), you need a wider bottle (with a diameter 4 cm larger than the circumference of the penis). A cylinder that is too wide is inconvenient and ineffective: the testicles are pulled 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 the purchase of professional pumps, as they are distinguished by high quality materials and proven design. From a medical point of view, such devices are not used for long-term procedures, only to train the penile tissues 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 head is blue. It's very dangerous. For beginners, the maximum pressure should not exceed 3-4Hg according to the manometer, the maximum duration of the class 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. In the first 16 weeks, daily sessions of half an hour are held, with the frequency being reduced to once every three days. Thus, you can achieve a persistent increase in length by 3 cm and thickness by 1 cm. After a single session with a pump, the penis enlarges by about 10%, but the effect soon wears off.
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 cause it to appear.
- Capillary bleeding, bruises, blisters. The blemishes after these injuries will remain for a long time. In some cases, the penis can be deformed.
- Necrosis of the head.
- Inflammation of the foreskin.
Pain and tingling in the head, its bluish discoloration is a dangerous sign. You must immediately remove the pump and massage the penis.
Contraindications for exercises with a pump:
- Priapism (long, painful erection).
- Weakness of blood vessels (bruises, bruises, subcutaneous hemorrhages, frequent vascular networks).
- Taking painkillers.
- Inflammation of Organs pelvic organs, including those caused by sexually transmitted infections.
For men over 50, doctors generally do not recommend using a pump to enlarge the penis. The elasticity of the tissues has already been reduced, it is almost impossible to stretch the tunic albuginea. The result of such activities is, for the most part, exclusively injuries.
Helps with the appearance of edema and dark spots on the penis (NUPers experience)
To get rid of the negative consequences of careless pump use as quickly as possible, the following materials will be needed:
- Chamomile in bags (in pharmacies).
- Laminated cotton.
- Elastic bandage mesh No. 3.
- Ointment for bruises and bruises.
Chamomile needs to be prepared (2 sachets at a time), pour the solution into a cup or any other container where you can dip your penis. Bathing should be taken 3-4 times a day for 5-7 minutes (each time prepare new bags). At night, after the last procedure, dry the penis, apply an ointment, cover with cotton, put a bandage over it. After a few days of procedures, the tissues will be restored.
Important: in the first 2-3 days after the injury, the manipulations above cannot be performed, as the blood has not yet clotted, the injury will take longer to heal. It is advisable to apply the cold immediately over a recent bruise, 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 gets worse, discomfort is felt, then Doppler ultrasound of the penile vessels should be performed (possible blockage).
Contraindications
There are several 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 pelvis varicose veins.
- Infectious or inflammatory diseases.
- Genital (urological) area diseases.
- The presence of tumor formations of various origins.
- Childhood or adolescence.
- Mental Disorders, Mental Disorder.
- Blood clotting disorder.
Also, classes are not held if they bring discomfort, they are accompanied by the onset of pain. In that 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 they did not consider.
Unpleasant consequences can be as follows:
- the appearance of darkened areas in the mucous membrane due to damage to blood capillaries;
- dryness and numbness of the surface of the penis;
- cracks in the mucous layer;
- with bruises - a feeling of pain;
- soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.
Also, when vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido can occur.
doctors opinion
Doctors' opinion regarding 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. Pumps really help to achieve a high quality erection and are safe for the body.
Opponents of using vacuum cleaners are often urologists who consider these devices to be dangerous. Many men use them so zealously that classes end up in penis deformity and impotence. Doctors have to 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 element is a pressure gauge. It can be used to measure a comfortable aspiration level and return to it quickly next time.
Some varieties are equipped with cock rings to help prolong an erection. There are additional structures within the cylinder that give the surface an irregular, pointed, etc. structure. for a sense of impact. Also, some models have a vibrate mode, which adds spiciness.
