Do Penis Pumps Work - Are They Dangerous?

Making use of a penis pump is a common way men will attempt to obtain a larger penis. A penis pump is a hollow tube where you can put your penis. It has a handle which when pumped creates a vacuum and sucks blood into the penis. The blood then gets trapped in the penis by placing a rubber ring around the base. This ring allows your manhood to keep its erection so you can have sex without losing the erection.

These pumps are generally used by men who may suffer from diabetes or poor blood circulation they can't get enough blood flowing into the area. With the suction created by the pump, With the clamp firmly in placeon the base, men then can make love with their partners. But once the clamp is take off, the erection is lost, so penis pumps can only help you achieve fuller and harder erections on a temporary basis.

Despite the benefit one gains from using a penis pump, many users and their partners don't like the devices because the erection it produces is not "normal." Some pump users complain that their penis becomes discolored, feels numb or cold to the touch becomes misshapen. Also couples can be uneasy about the interruption of intimacy it brings to lovemaking. Also, men can find that upon ejaculation the constriction ring at the base of the penis causes mild discomfort.

Penis pumps can also be dangerous if not used properly. Caution is needed when using one and one must ensure that whichever pump you use has a accurate reliable pressure gauge and that you follow the instructions closely. Furthermore, using the wrong kind of vacuum pump and using it too often can burst blood capillary vessels in the penis shaft, graze skin, cause soreness and pain.Regular use can also 'weaken' and reduce the duration of penile erections. There have also been some cases reported of penis pumps deforming the penis. Another potential drawback is Some men have found out that after regulary using a penis pump for a period of time, the only way they are able to obtain an erection is with the pump.

The major issues associated with pumps are:

1. You take the risk of bleeding from ruptured capillaries. Sucking a lot of blood quickly into your penis risks rupturing the penile blood vessels. This does not look very nice at all.

2. You run the risk of temporary impotence as a result of forcing blood into your penis for a period of time.

3. The results are rarely permanent since you're simply just sucking blood into the penis. The penis is not actually strengthened nor does it increase in girth and length.

4. There is a risk of getting lymph blisters on the glans of your penis from the device that you're putting over it.

Although these pumps can work usually temporarily for about half an hour they are unsuitable for spontaneous sex and also these devices have been known to leave scarrings, bruising and in some cases gangrene, causing the penis to be very painful.

This temporary increase in the blood capacity in the cells of the shaft swells the penis, but does not increase the blood capacity in the cells of the penis, which is crucial in achieving permanent size gains.

After learning all of these disadvantages, you really need to think twice before you consider using a penis pump to help you sustain an erection. Your best bet for stronger erections or penis growth would be to carry out an exercise routine and keep your blood flowing healthily, or consider the use of a penis traction device.
