Erectile dysfunction vacuum pump PRIMUSmed

Effective treatment of erectile dysfunction Vacuum pumps enhance restoration of erectile function At ages between 40 and 70 approximately 52% of men sometimes have erection problems. 9.6% of men constantly suffer from erection disorders. Alcohol abuse, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, vascular diseases, prostate disorders (including prostate surgery), hormonal and psychological disorders, Alzheimer's disease and high nicotine consumption constitute risk factors for erectile dysfunction. Mode of action of vacuum pumps An electrically or manually operated vacuum pump creates a partial vacuum in a plastic cylinder. This plastic cylinder is first of all slipped over the penis and then the pumping action starts. The resulting vacuum causes blood to flow into the cavernous bodies. This counteracts chronic hypoxia (oxygen supply deficiency), and the associated consequences, such as irreversible tissue damage (fibrosis), shrinkage processes affecting circumference and length, and reduced rigidity (stiffness) of the penis.
