Improve your sexual function

Erectile dysfunction is a common disorder, especially in older men. Treatment options include oral medications such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, medications inserted into the urethra, medications given by injection directly into the penis, and penile implants. Another good option for some men is a penis pump, also known as a vacuum constriction device (VCD). These pumps are available by prescription.
Penis pumps can be a good treatment choice if medications for erectile dysfunction don't work or penile implant surgery isn't a good option. Penis pumps can also be used along with other treatments for erectile dysfunction. Unlike some other treatments for erectile dysfunction, a penis pump allows you to start and terminate an erection at will. Compared with other treatment methods for erectile dysfunction, penis pumps are the least expensive treatment — despite the cost of the initial purchase.
Side effects

Using a penis pump is safe for most men, but side effects can include:

    * Hemorrhagic spots on the penis (petechiae)
    * Numbness or coldness of the penis
    * Pain or bruising of the penis
    * A sense of trapped semen during ejaculation or delayed ejaculation

Is a penis pump the right treatment for you?

Talk to your doctor before trying a penis pump for erectile dysfunction to make sure your condition is not caused by something that can be more easily treated — and to make sure you're getting the best individual treatment. If you and your doctor decide a penis pump is a good choice, use a penis pump that has been prescribed to you — that way you can be sure its components are made by a reputable manufacturer. Penis pumps available in magazines and sex ads may not be safe.

Although penis pumps are a safe erectile dysfunction treatment for most men, if you have certain health problems such as blood coagulation problems or sickle cell anemia, or you take certain medications such as blood thinners, you need to be more cautious when using this method. Talk to your doctor about your health conditions and any medications you're taking to make sure you are getting the safest and most effective erectile dysfunction treatment.

Although it can take some time to get comfortable using a penis pump and there are some drawbacks, using a penis pump is a safe, effective and noninvasive way to treat erectile dysfunction. Used on their own or in combination with other treatments for erectile dysfunction, penis pumps help many men continue to enjoy an active sex life.
