Who can use Penis Pumps For The Treatment of Impotence?
June 28, 2011Penis pumps, also known as vacuum pumps or vacuum constriction devices, are external, non-invasive treatments for impotence. Many doctors recommend the use of penis pumps for the treatment of male impotence as an alternative to medications available today. According to studies, 50% to 80% of men are satisfied with the results of these penis pumps. Some men even use them for penis enlargement and sexual purposes such as masturbation and foreplay.
Men of all ages can use penis pumps and penis extenders safely. These devices can also be used for men suffering from conditions such as:
Poor blood flow to the penis
If your erectile dysfunction is caused due to poor blood circulation, you can use penis pump without any worry. Penis extenders and pumps stretch the tissues in the penis and restore the blood flow to the penis.
Diabetes
Men who have diabetes are often not allowed to take Viagra and prescription pills as impotence treatments. However, you can even use penis extenders and pumps if you have diabetes. This condition can impair blood circulation and restrict blood flow to the penis that is important to get an erection and maintain it. Your diabetes will no longer come in way of a healthy sexual relationship.
Surgery for prostate or colon cancer
Penis pumps can also be used by men who have undergone surgery for prostate or colon cancer. These surgeries normally make it difficult for men to achieve an erection, but penis pumps can help them out effectively.
Psychological issues such as anxiety or depression
Sometimes, erectile dysfunction is caused due to psychological issues such as performance anxiety and depression. Penis pumps are effective for men to get an erection even if their erection problems are caused due to psychological issues.
Who cannot use penis pumps?
Penis pumps can’t be used by men who have certain conditions such as significant congenital bleeding disorder or a disorder that predisposes them to a condition called priapism (a prolonged, sometime painful erection lasting for more than 4 hours). Also, some conditions that make it impossible for men to use penis pumps as male impotence treatments are sickle cell anemia, some forms of leukemia, and other blood conditions.
