Suffering from erectile dysfunction? This simple gadget could be the answer to your dreams

IF YOU'RE worried about erectile dysfunction there is a sure-fire way of keeping the condition at bay.

 

Erectile dysfunction is a problem plaguing many men in Britain

 

The words penis and pump might send shivers down your spine but it turns out it could be an implement that saves mens' sex lives.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common condition men can develop over time, but rarely do they speak about it.

It's believed this new gadget could be a saviour for all men suffering with impotence.

NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com got the low-down from Sexual health and well being expert Samantha Evans.

 

It's a problem not many men feel confident with talking about

 

Everything you ever needed to know about penis pumps - and how to keep a healthy, active sex life - is right here.

But what is a penis pump used for? Samantha said: "Using a penis pump can benefit men who have erectile dysfunction (ED) and can also help prevent men from developing ED by maintaining good penis health, which, in turn improves the quality of erections and strength of orgasms.

"Using a penis pump to treat ED can be helpful when medication and surgical interventions do not work or cannot be used due to safety reasons."

She added: "The penis needs to be exercised to keep it functioning properly. Regular use of a penis pump can prevent or reduce the incidence of ED developing."

Staggeringly, one in 10 men in the world are thought to suffer from ED, yet it's still one of the least-discussed inflictions across the globe.

Using a penis pump can reduce the risk of formation of cavernosal fibrosis

Only 33 per cent of men who have erectile dysfunctions seek help and advice about their problems, according to the UK Health Centre. 

Wondering how it all works? Well ponder no more, we got the information from Samantha. 

The sexual health expert said: "Penis pumps create a vacuum which increases penile thickness (or girth) by enlarging the volume of the corpora cavernosa, a spongy tissue that holds blood to produce an erection, as well as increasing the blood flow to the penis. 

"It also lengthens the penis by stretching the suspensory ligament, making it more elastic and allowing the penis to grow longer during an erection."

"Using a penis pump can reduce the risk of formation of cavernosal fibrosis (abnormal fibrous tissue in the penis) which can cause ED."

The NHS recommends not over-using a penis pump as it could possibly damage the tissue of the penis, thus leading to weaker erections. 

 

This is a penis pump in all its glory

 

It does state the vacuum devices are sometimes used in the 'short-term' treatment of impotence. 

Talking about impotence, the NHS claims the use of penis pumps are 'successful' in 90 per cent of cases. 

It is worth noting, Samantha revealed, penis pumps are safe for men who have poor blood flow to the penis, diabetes, surgery for prostate or colon cancer and psychological conditions such as anxiety or depression. 

They are not recommended if you have any of the following disorders:

• Sickle cell anaemia. Some forms of leukaemia or any blood disorder which makes you susceptible to bleeding or blood clots.

• If you take any medication to thin your blood such as warfarin, heparin, and some over the counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen.

• You suffer from priaprism whereby the penis remains erect for a prolonged period of time causing pain and discomfort.

Samantha said: "Before using a penis pump, discuss with your doctor if it is suitable for your condition. 

"Your doctor will ask you a wide variety of questions about your health, including what medication you take, any injuries you may have now or have had in the past or surgical intervention which involves your penis, testicles or prostate and any ED treatments you’ve had in the past and how well they worked."

She added: "You may not require a penis pump but just need to change your medication to reduce or resolve the symptoms of ED."
