If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction, you may be weighing your options when it comes to effective treatment options. Erectile dysfunction is an unfortunate reality for many men, but the good news is that there are numerous effective ways to treat it so that men could continue to live their regular everyday lives without being hindered by the condition. One of the most popular ways to treat erectile dysfunction is to use a penis pump. But, how does a penis pump work? And is it an effective solution to increasing length and girth for the long term? Dr. Edward Gheiler and our experienced Miami urologists are here to explore what you could come to expect from penis pumps and what the most effective methods for treating these conditions are.
How Long Does a Penis Pump Work?
So, how does a penis pump work? The way that a penis pump works is by using suction to draw blood into the penis. The blood that rushes to the penis as an effect of using a penis pump fills the blood vessels of the penis, which makes your penis get bigger and harder. These pumps usually come with a constriction ring that is usually placed around the base of the penis to keep the blood in the penis so that the erection lasts longer. The amount of time that a penis pump works varies from person to person, but the results are usually temporary. There are many factors that contribute to how effective this treatment is, with some of them being how severe the erectile dysfunction is and how good the person’s cardiovascular health is. Even though the results are usually temporary, they are known to last enough time to have sexual intercourse.
How Does a Hydro Penis Pump Work?
How does a penis pump work if it uses water? Like a manual penis pump, hydro penis pumps provide benefits thanks to the suction that it provides the penis. This means that it could be a kind of erectile dysfunction treatment that does not need to be medicated. Water pumps are usually sold for enlargement rather than as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, and there is no good evidence that using water instead of air makes a device work better. Whichever type you use, the same limit applies: do not leave the constriction ring on for longer than 30 minutes, because the ring works by restricting blood flow. Men on blood thinners, or with a bleeding disorder, should speak to a urologist first.
How Does a Penis Pump Work?
An erect penis is naturally larger than a flaccid one, so a vacuum device can make the penis look bigger while the erection lasts. That is the erection, not a change in your size — the effect ends when the constriction ring comes off, and pumps do not produce lasting growth. If getting or keeping an erection is the real problem, that is what our Miami urologists treat; the options are set out in our guide to erectile dysfunction.
