Vacuum pumps are not completely risk free! | UroChannel

Vacuum pumps could be risky to use. If you've ever used a vacuum pump and noticed numbness or difficulty achieving erections, you may have experienced nerve damage. My name is Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a board-certified urologist and sexologist from Göttingen. In this video on UroChannel, I will shed light on the potential risks of vacuum pumps. While these devices are generally safe when used correctly, improper use can lead to significant problems, including damage to the dorsal nerve of the penis.
Symptoms of nerve damage from overstretching include numbness, pain, tingling sensations, and difficulty maintaining erections. Though vacuum pumps are the oldest and often effective erection aids, they can cause long-term or permanent damage if misused, particularly for individuals with normal penile anatomy. The dorsal nerve, part of the pudendal nerve, is crucial for penile sensation and function. This nerve splits into numerous branches, with about 16,600 fibers running through the penis. These nerves must withstand significant stretching during erections, and excessive force from a vacuum pump can lead to neuropraxia or even more severe nerve injuries.
To use a vacuum pump safely, start slowly, avoid prolonged use, and never use the constriction ring for more than 30 minutes. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use medically approved devices. If damage has already occurred, the nerve may take weeks to months to recover, and more severe cases could take up to a year. Treatments like shockwave therapy and extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy show promise in nerve regeneration, but they are not yet standard procedures and require professional medical supervision.
