Erectile dysfunction is the repetitive failure to achieve an erection or failure to maintain a satisfactory erection for sexual activities. Having ED is more common than one may think. Perhaps the reason why only few people talk about it is because it is considered an embarrassing matter. A lot of men consider their performance in bed as a huge part of their ego that ED evidently has an impact on their overall well-being. Men suffering from this condition tend to withdraw from relationships as they fear that they would not be able to please their partners. In doing so, they tend to have lower self esteem and could also have a mild depression over the matter.
This does not need to be the case. There are lots of ways handling erectile dysfunction. Various treatments are available. Drugs could be taken orally. Psychotherapy is also proven effective for certain cases. Sometimes, surgery is considered. Less invasive treatments are recommended however. Erectile dysfunction pumps is one of the most effective means to deal with ED. This is an external device that is used to produce erection. Erectile dysfunction pumps are also referred to as vacuum penile pumps, penile pumps or vacuum constriction devices.
Using erectile dysfunction pumps entail very basic steps that it is quite convenient as testified by men who has ED and successfully produced erections. It has three parts: the cylinder, the pump and the elastic band. The plastic cylinder is where the penis is inserted. The pump is used to draw air out of the cylinder. It could be a manual pump or a battery-operated pump Drawing the air out causes the cylinder to be partially vacuumed and constricts the penis. This mechanism draws blood into the spongy tissues and causes the penis to swell and produce erection. The elastic band, which is attached to the shaft of the penis, keeps the blood from being drained thus sustaining the erection. Using a lubricant to attach the band will be helpful. After the elastic band is attached, the pump and the cylinder could be removed.
Penile pumps cost $300-$500 and some do not require prescription. Battery-operated pumps tend to be more expensive but they are advisable for men who have arthritis or those who have poor coordination. There are various brands to choose from but it is important that the device is approved by FDA.
There are some disadvantages in using these devices. As erectile dysfunction pumps do not produce the erection naturally, there is a possibility of discoloration in the penis due to the constricting mechanism is has. It also has been reported that the elastic band attached tend to leave a mark around the penis. The mark is not painful and will fade in a few days. It has been reported that using this device tends to weaken the force of ejaculation due to the elastic band attached in the duration of the sexual activity but this has little or no effect in the feeling of orgasm. Semen will trickle after the elastic band is removed.
Given these minor disadvantages erectile dysfunction pumps really work. It is considered as a durable medical apparatus and is also advised by doctors.
