The use of vacuum erection devices after prostate surgery and the associated risks and considerations.
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) and phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (PDE‑5Is) both show evidence of improving erectile function after radical prostatectomy, but the randomized‑trial and meta‑analytic li...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) mechanically draw blood into the corpora cavernosa, reliably increasing penile tissue oxygenation after radical prostatectomy and thereby interrupting a hypoxia-driven c...
Early vacuum erectile device (VED) use—started in the weeks after nerve‑sparing radical prostatectomy—and especially when combined with regular phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (PDE5i) or intracavernosa...
Prostate stimulation immediately after a bowel movement is not inherently dangerous for most people, and many clinicians and guides actually recommend emptying the bowels before anal or prostate play ...
A vacuum erection device (VED) is a medically approved mechanical aid that creates an erection by drawing blood into the penis and holding it with a constriction ring; when sized, used, and maintained...
Prostate massage can cause a range of minor to serious complications — from local tearing and hemorrhoid flare to hemorrhage, cellulitis, and systemic infection — so medical attention is warranted for...
A systematic look at the literature finds no randomized controlled trial in humans that explicitly randomized patients to different vacuum erectile device (VED) negative pressures and different sessio...
Vacuum erectile devices (VEDs) have a clear physiological rationale and consistent preclinical evidence showing anti‑hypoxic and anti‑fibrotic effects that could protect penile tissue after radical pr...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are generally safe when used properly but several medical conditions meaningfully increase the risk of bruising, bleeding, ischemia and even skin necrosis or urethral in...
