Many wonder if penis pumping with a penis pump actually yields the results that manufacturers claim. Well that would depend on what the claims are. If the manufacturer is claiming that penis pumping will result in huge permanent growth, then that statement is false.

Studies are currently ongoing into the effectiveness of the penis pumps you can now purchase through specialty stores, but in 2006 the British Journal of Urology International completed a study which required a group of men with smaller penis sizes to use a special erection vacuum device three times a day, for 20 minutes each session. The study carried on for six months and in the end, the men averaged 0.3 cm of change to their penis size. That does speak to a penis pump possibly working, but the results were less than impressive.

If you are looking for a penis pump that will drastically increase your size permanently, penis pumping is not going to give you the desired effects. Yet, if you just want some help achieving an erection when needed, penis pumping can be very effective and even pleasurable. A penis pump is often called a “vacuum constriction device” and is composed of a cylinder that goes over the penis and either a manual, electrical, or battery operated pump operation. When the pump gets going suction surrounds the penis and draws blood into the groin area. As blood rushes into the penis, an erection results. They are very simple to use, but you have to take some precautions.

First most, penis pumping devices from sex shops are not going to give the most powerful results. For better results one should go for a vacuum constriction device (VCD), the downside of this doctor approved device is the cost, a VCD will cost anywhere to $300-$500. Yet many insurance companies will pay all or partial costs and these devices are currently covered by Medicare, though one must have documented proof of Erectile Dysfunction. The reason why one should go for a VCD versus a penis pump for penis pumping is not only for the more satisfactory results, but also because a VCD will come with a compression rings so when one goes to remove the device, then they can push the ring down to the base of the penis, keeping the erection.

There are some individuals who should avoid penis pumping with a penis pump or VCD. If one has diabetes, a blood clotting disorder or any kind of blood thinning medication, stay clear from these devices. While penis pumping is relatively safe one can cause temporary or even permanent injury. Too much pumping can lead to busted blood vessels and blisters. In some cases the testicles where accidentally pulled into the cylinder which results in extreme pain and injury. Then there is the case of too much suction creating permanent damage.

If you feel any pain, always stop pumping! Other than that, penis pumps are a safe alternative to more drastic measures such as surgery. When you use common sense and follow directions, pumping can actually be quite enjoyable and can enhance your quality of life.
