The penis pump works by stimulating penile tissues in certain conditions and during surgical recovery, helping prevent retraction. Its purpose is not to enlarge the penis, but the device can support male sexual health in specific cases. Learn more!
The use of a penis pump for erectile dysfunction can be considered a complementary option, with the potential to assist male sexual health in certain clinical contexts.
The device promotes increased blood flow in the penis and may be recommended for postoperative recovery, for poor circulation, and also for Peyronie’s disease.
The benefits of the penis pump are achieved only with medical guidance and follow‑up.
Does the penis pump work?
Yes, a penis pump works, but its use must be guided by a urologist.
Medical supervision is essential for the patient to understand how to use a penis pump correctly.
The device is usually made up of a cylinder, where the penis is inserted, and a pump, which can be manual or electric, used to remove the air from the cylinder and create a vacuum.
The penis pump creates a vacuum around the penis, increasing blood flow to the area and consequently producing an erection.
In which cases can the penis pump be indicated
Besides treating erectile dysfunction, the penis pump is indicated for rehabilitation after surgeries such as prostate removal and for men with circulation problems.
The device can also be prescribed for cases of Peyronie’s disease, with the aim of reducing the curvature caused by the condition.
Benefits of using the penis pump
The urologist recommends the device when the condition is in an early or moderate stage, where clinical treatment can include oral medication, injections and complementary therapies such as penile physiotherapy and the use of the penis pump.
Therefore, one of the main benefits of the penis pump is the possibility of avoiding surgery in cases of Peyronie’s disease or circulatory problems that could progress to severe erectile dysfunction.
What are the results of the penis pump?
The answer to the question “real penis‑pump results” varies according to the reason for the indication. Understand:
- Peyronie’s disease
The penis pump can help mobilize penile tissues and, depending on individual response, be part of initial management of curvature associated with Peyronie’s disease. It can form part of a broader treatment plan in early phases.
- Erectile dysfunction
It facilitates penile blood circulation and frequent use may improve the body’s response. It may be considered for patients who have not achieved satisfactory results with other approaches, according to individual medical evaluation.
- Post‑surgical rehabilitation
In the case of prostatectomy, which is the surgery to remove the prostate, a man may experience erectile dysfunction because some nerves responsible for erection can be affected.
One study shows that the penis pump can help recovery because it helps maintain tissue and cell health in the penis and increases blood flow in the area.
According to the authors, the effects of the penis pump are usually noticed with daily and regular use for a period of at least six months.
- Poor blood circulation
The pump stimulates penile blood flow, which can be beneficial for men with circulation problems. This stimulation can promote oxygenation of penile tissues, helping maintain local vascular function.
Does the penis pump increase penis size?
Some men believe that a penis pump enlarges the penis, but this is not true. In Peyronie’s disease, for example, the penis can become curved and even lose some length because of scarring inside the organ.
In this situation the pump may be indicated in the initial phase of the disease, aiming to help reduce curvature and thus regain part of the lost length.
During use, the pump produces an erection because it increases blood flow, which makes the penis look larger. However, this effect is temporary and there is no scientific proof that a penis pump permanently increases penis size.
What are the side effects of a penis pump?
It is common for men who are candidates for its use to ask “is a penis pump safe?”. The answer is yes.
However, excessive or improper use causes side effects such as bruising due to the sudden increase in blood flow.
Another important precaution is with the constriction ring, an accessory that helps maintain the erection for longer.
If this ring is kept on the penis longer than recommended, the local blood vessels and tissues can be damaged, worsening erectile dysfunction and temporarily decreasing penile sensitivity.
