The Impotence pump provides a drug free and safe alternative for the treatment of erectile dysfunction a technical term for male impotence.
Prior to the release of erection enhancement pills that revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction, the pump was the most popular and successful treatment around.
The pumps remain the most preferable options and the most viable alternatives to erection enhancement for a large number of men.
Erectile Dysfunction is defined as the inability to achieve and maintain an erection prior and during sexual intercourse.
Going into a little physiology, for an erection to occur, blood vessels in the male sexual organ must be healthy and elastic enough for blood to flow into the chambers within and fill up to achieve an erection.
Choosing the right treatment for this dysfunction is a personal choice.
So how does the impotence pump work? Before we go into that, the major risks reported in a European study for other forms of treatment, particularly erection enhancement drugs, were heart conditions, high blood pressure and diabetes.
For long term diabetics, impotence pumps are a more safer option due to the non drug applications.
The Impotence pump creates an erection by using a plastic cylinder which is placed around the penis.
Then a manual or electronic pump gradually withdraws the air out of the cylinder.
This then creates a vacuum which draws blood into the penis.
Once the penis is rigid and the cylinder is removed an elastic band called a tension ring is applied to the base of the penis to prevent blood from flowing out again and making the penis limp.
Most manufacturers now offer manual, battery-operated and electronic models.
These pumps provide a safe, and drug free treatment for male impotence.
