get pumped up

Using penis pumps as part of ED recovery post-prostate cancer treatment

why use a pump

Penile Rehabilitation refers to optimising and preserving penile tissue integrity. It is most commonly recommended after a medical procedure such as Prostate Surgery, which results in Erectile Dysfunction due to cavernous (‘erection’) nerve trauma.

While these nerves are in a state of trauma, penile rehabilitation intends to prevent penile tissue damage, such as fibrosis, Peyronie’s Disease, venous leakage.

Maintaining regular oxygenated blood flow to the penile tissue during ED after prostate cancer treatment helps prevent these structural changes (including penile shrinkage).

The hope is that once the cavernous nerves heal and are ‘back online', the penile tissue is in good condition to support natural erectile function again.

Using a vacuum erection device (VED) is one non-invasive way of establishing oxygenated blood flow into the penile tissue.

Which pump is right for you

“The Vacurect works extremely well. I’ve found that pumping slowly and allowing time for reaction every couple of strokes works best. In this fashion, I achieve a full erection in about 10 minutes. When shared with my wife, this time of anticipation is a form of foreplay for both of us.”

(Phil, post Prostatectomy)

“My wife and I have been using the Vacurect with great success. It took practice and patience but I feel now like I’ve mastered it to the point where our sex life is better than anything I experienced in the past.”

(S. Prostatectomy)
