Erectile Dysfunction: Vacuum Constriction Devices
* How does it work?
* How well do vacuum constriction devices work?
* Who should consider using a vacuum constriction device?
* What are the side effects?
* How much does the device cost?
* Does insurance cover the devices?
A vacuum constriction device (VCD) is an external pump with a band on it that a man with erectile dysfunction can use to get and maintain an erection.
The VCD consists of an acrylic cylinder with a pump that may be attached directly to the end of the penis. A constriction ring or band is placed on the cylinder at the other end, which is applied to the body. The cylinder and pump are used to create a vacuum to help the penis become erect; the band or constriction ring is used to help maintain the erection.
The pump helps the penis become erect while the band maintains the erection.
How Does It Work?
To use the device:
* Place the pump, which can be pumped by hand or run on batteries, over the penis.
* Pump the air out of the cylinder so that a vacuum is created. The vacuum draws blood into the shaft of the penis and causes it to swell and become erect.
* Once the penis is erect, with the help of lubricant, slide the retaining band down onto the lower end of the penis.
* Remove the pump.
Intercourse can be attempted with the constriction band in place to help maintain the erection. The band can be left on safely for up to 30 minutes to allow for successful intercourse.
How Well Do Vacuum Constriction Devices Work?
Studies suggest that about 50%-80% of men are satisfied with the results of VCD. As with any other method of treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), satisfaction rates may decrease with time.
Who Should Consider Using a Vacuum Constriction device?
Vacuum constriction devices are safe and can be used by patients with ED caused by many conditions, including:
* Poor blood flow to the penis
* Diabetes
* Surgery for prostate or colon cancer
* Psychological issues such as anxiety or depression
Vacuum constriction devices should not be used by men who may have a significant congenital bleeding disorder or a disorder that predisposes them to a condition called priapism (a prolonged, sometime painful erection lasting over several hours). Examples include sickle cell anemia, some forms of leukemia, and other blood conditions.
What Are the Side Effects?
An erection obtained by the vacuum constriction device is not the same as an erection achieved naturally. The penis tends to be purplish in color and can be cold or numb. Other side effects can include:
* A black and blue mark or small area of bleeding on the shaft of the penis. This is usually painless and generally will resolve in a few days.
* Decrease in the force of the ejaculation. The constriction band traps the ejaculate or semen at the time of orgasm. This is not dangerous and usually does not cause pain. The semen will usually dribble out once the constriction band is removed. Generally, this does not interfere with the pleasure of a climax or orgasm.
How Much Does the Device Cost?
Vacuum constriction devices vary in cost from $300 to $500, depending on the brand and type. The battery-powered versions tend to be more expensive, but also tend to work a little more quickly. Battery-powered devices are especially helpful for men who do not have good hand strength and coordination.
There are several devices currently on the market that work effectively. Some of these devices can be obtained without a prescription.
Does Insurance Cover the Devices?
Most insurance policies, including Medicare, cover at least part of the costs of a vacuum constriction device, especially if a medical cause for ED has been documented. Medicaid, however, does not cover the device.

Greetings. My name's Edward LeBlanc, an M.D in the field of Sexual Health. (Both Men and Women's) .. First of all, as you've likely already suspected, there is NO SUCH THING AS "PENIS ENLARGEMENT." Period. Over the years, our practice here in Santa Monica, CA been flooded with countless inquiries regarding How To make the male-organ larger in size. The medical consensus on this issue is rather clear- it is not physically possible. As a general rule, your Genetics will ultimately predetermine the size of your penis. There have been many claims out there about "natural exercises" that can allegedly induce penile-growth. We find that these 'magic' exercises revolve around what is called the "kegal" muscle, located between the anus and scrotum. This is the muscle squeezed to stop the flow of urination, which, when exercised regularly, can also promote significant blood flow to your erections. The end result may be what appears to be size increase, but rather it is your own erection- Now fuller and firmer than it was before.
It is a Fact that over 76% of Men are unhappy with the size of their pẹnis. As a Sexual Health M.D- I can tẹll you it is also true that just as many men, often without realizing, are experiencing some form of erectile dysfunction. With it's varying degrees of severity, ED is a problem far more common than one might expect- and it does not discriminate by age. For our patients, we always recommend: https://alphamanpro.im .. AlphaManPro is a Male Enhancement that will enable your pẹnis to function at it's full potential, bringing erections to their maximum capacity every time. As such, over 80% of our patients who tried AlphaMan have reported added measurements in both length and girth. Our office has received consistently positive feedback on it's effects. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they still send out a Frẹe 30 Day Trial supply, only asking that you cover the cost of shipping.
Regards

They do not work to make a penis bigger.
However, they do work to help those with erectile dysfunction.
The vacuum created helps draw blood into the erectile bodies of the penis. In order to keep the erection, a tight band is slipped off the apparatus and placed at the base of the penis. This prevents the blood from draining and keeps the erection.
