Advice on Penis pumps
I am 4 months post prostate surgery and soon to start radiation since some cancer still evident. The mental stress of cancer is bad enough but not having sex with my wife adds greatly to my getting down . I bought a pump from menmd a month ago but not able to get rigid enough for sex and the rubber tension ring is semi painful and makes any amount of of pleasure difficult. I’m tempted to try injections but with radiation and hormone treatments which kill my testosterone, maybe I should be more patient?

This is a common problem, I found the same difficulty with the pump, as have others that have commented after trying to use it. It might help if you were to take Cialis or Viagra, sure can’t hurt to try, but the only real help, if that fails, is the injections.
I take 5 mg of cialis every other day then take 20 mg when hoping for a reaction then another day I try 100mg of viagra still no luck , this type of cancer is a double hit on the body and a battle not to get depressed even when my cancer is hopefully untraceable
I have always been prone to loose stools but it’s almost every day in the last month , wonder if the 5 mg of ciallis is responsible or my nerves reacting to what lies ahead with 6 weeks of radiation and hormone therapy
The pump will not work for me either, at 77 I still use the pump because if used right and often you will gain girth and length. Must hold for 3 minutes at a time and at least 3-4 times a week. Anxiety for me was the worst problem I’ve had after my cancer diagnosis. I did radiation therapy and seed implants. I’ve been cancer free for 13yrs now. I’ve worked my way through almost everything you can imagine and use quadmix today. There’s some discomfort but out-ways the pleasure
Hello, Greybeard!
Seeing your question about the vacuum pump, I want to ask you for advice.
I was prostate cancer after radical urinary incontinence, to today just two years. I removed from the pelvic cavity prostate, seminal vesicle and so on 123 grams of weight, space has increased a lot. I've been doing Kegel exercises and pelvic floor muscles, but there's too much space in my pelvis, and I'm still 70% incontinent. I'm thinking of using a vacuum stick to increase the length and circumference of the penis. Excuse me, how much is the vacuum stick you bought? Is it Miao Ao International Medical?
Thank you!
My surgeon suggested going to the Menmd website, to get a quality pump, they have 3 to choose from $99, $199, and $299 which is battery powered , I got the $199. After 2 months of practice I still can’t get rigid enough and the plastic ring that keeps the blood from escaping hurts a little so I’m ready for possible penal injection but since I started my first Hormone injection yesterday, I need to see if I’m wasting my time with trying anything including ciallis and or viagra to help with the pump since the hormone from what little I know kills my testosterone and desire which is hard to believe since it has always been very important in a good marriage of 40 years . Good luck with the pump and watch the videos many times and you can call the company that makes these pumps and discuss freely any issues you have , good luck
“you will gain girth and length”,It is good!
My pump was only about $30 it’s electric and has 4 intensities. It has been working great for me. My only problem I have is I go limp lying down so we work it out standing up or at least I’m standing. Believe me when I say my anxiety is gone and I feel like a man again. Good luck friend
Where did you buy it? What is it called/brand name?
I’m amazed a $30 pump works so well , I’m jealous, I was warned not to get a cheap one but happy for you , got my first hormone shot yesterday so out shopping for a small bra and a magnifying glass to find my Johnson which I’m told will shrink, so sounds like I won’t feel like a real man again for a long time
