The use of Vacuum Erectile Devices (VEDs) in penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy
A safe, evidence-aligned approach is to keep individual pumping cycles short, include brief rest breaks, limit total session time to roughly 10–20 minutes, avoid continuous vacuuming beyond 10–15 minu...
Beginners can tell prostate stimulation apart from other pelvic sensations by where it’s felt (a deep front-wall rectal bump toward the belly), how it feels (a soft, rubbery bulb distinct from surroun...
Early penile rehabilitation is commonly recommended after radical prostatectomy, but exact timing varies by modality and by clinician; many centers start oral PDE5 inhibitors at the time the catheter ...
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...
Combination penile-rehabilitation protocols—typically a vacuum erectile device (VED) plus a phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitor (PDE5i), or combinations that include intracavernosal injections (ICI)—general...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs), oral phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (PDE5i), and intracavernosal injections are all established ED therapies with different mechanisms, strengths, and trade‑offs: oral ...
Laboratory evidence from a rat model identifies −200 mmHg as the pressure that produced maximal rehabilitative benefit without added tissue harm, but human clinical literature reports typical therapeu...
Vacuum erectile devices (VEDs) are a widely used, noninvasive tool in penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy (RP), intended to preserve penile length and tissue health by promoting arterial...
