Penis Pumping - Does it Actually Work?

Millions of men unsatisfied with their penis size have turned to penis pumping to temporarily increase penis girth and length.

The penis pump was originally created in 1982 to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

While it can potentially provide temporary results as an ED treatment under the instructions of a medical professional, there is no empirical evidence that shows penis pumping leads to permanent gains in penile girth or length.

Also, penile vacuum therapy has been found to have potential efficacy in improvement of penile curvature in patients with Peyronie’s Disease (PD).

How Do Penis Pumps Work?

The penis pump acts as a vacuum therapy that pulls blood into the penis, helping create and maintain an erection for about 30 minutes.
A cylinder with a pumping apparatus is placed at the base of the penis.

The pump then draws air from the cylinder which creates a vacuum-like environment while pulling and trapping blood to the penis. The tension ring at the base of the cylinder is removed. As a result, an erection is produced.

How to Use a Penis Pump

A penis pump consists of 3 parts: a plastic tube, hand or electric pump, and a rubber constriction ring.

Step 1: Insert your penis into the plastic tube.

Step 2A: If you are using an electric penis pump, put it on the lowest suction intensity first. Increase as necessary.

Step 2B: If you are using a manual penis pump, squeeze the pump with 2 hands until you achieve the necessary suction.

Step 3: Slip the constriction ring around the base of your shaft once enough blood has rushed to the penis to achieve an erection.

Penis pumping gets you an erection that lasts long enough for sex. But does it work for everyone? Does it provide a permanent increase in penis girth or length?

Penis Pump Results

The most common misconception regarding penis pumping comes down to results. Due to tantalizing internet ads, many men think penis pump results are permanent. Studies have shown they are not.

The reality is they are only potentially and temporarily effective for erectile dysfunction (and only as instructed by a medical professional). Even in those cases, results aren’t guaranteed. Some erectile dysfunction scenarios require alternative treatment.

Penis Pump Side Effects

Getting permanent gains from penis pumping is impossible, no matter how hard you try.

Excessive pumping puts you at risk for the side effects below:

• Red dots the size of a pinpoint
• Bluish skin
• Numbness
• Bruising and pain
• A sense of trapped semen
• Painful ejaculation

Penis pumps can create blood vessel damage. The tiny red dots mentioned above are a result of blood vessel damage under the penis skin.

A proper pressure gauge should be attached to the pump to ensure that the appropriate level of pressure is applied. Too much pressure and friction on the penis can also make it thin.

Excessive pressure causes pain and bruising. An overly tight constriction band gives your shaft a bluish hue and leads to ejacultion issues.

Alternative to Penis Pumping

While penile vacuum therapy is a potential alternative treatment for some patients with erectile dysfunction or peyronie’s disease, there is no evidence that shows it leads to permanent gains in penile girth or length.

Penile Enlargement Surgery or Penis Enlargement with a subcutaneous silicone implant is the most promising method to increase the penile size and aesthetics with progressive results.

Dr. Elist is a urologist and surgeon who has developed a solution to increase the flaccid penile size; both girth/width and the appearance of length.

The Penuma penile enlargement surgery uses the only cleared silicone implant designed for penile enlargement. The implant has been successfully used in thousands of patients with high rates of satisfaction and increased self-confidence and increased self-esteem.
