Time to choose a penis pump. Any recommendations?

Posted by themurfs @themurfs, Jul 11, 2024

I cannot decide between manual or automatic. I was referred to TIMMMEDICAL to purchase. Any suggestions on these options and also brands?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I have no experience with the manual one but been using a medical grade battery power pump @ 11 months and happy with it. Hope this helps. I do believe the pumps help with recovery.

Are you willing to share the brand and where you purchased it? Looking for medical grade for sure.

I am not sure if I can put phone # but you can call them if you can not get direct link to pump. They have distributers around country. I only got pump from them not any prescriptions. It was recommended by my surgeon.

I bought an Osbon Erecaid - I think it was recommended in some book or article I read.

I used it several times, but that really wasn't "my cup of tea."

This might be a little weird, but if you want to give me a shipping address, I'll send it to you. Drop me an email: ragatz@msu.edu

Penis pumps do not work for intercourse. they are designed to prevent fibrosis. Have you looked into trimix injections?

I had a radical prostatectomy in 2009. (No measurable PSA since then.) One of the results was ED. In 2011 I had a penile prosthetic implanted. It took a little time to get used to it, but it wound up being at least satisfactory, if not a little better than that, both for me and for my wife. The expected life of the implant was 10 years, and mine lasted almost exactly that long. So in 2021 I had the dead soldier removed, and had another virtually identical prosthetic installed. The results were almost identical, except that the new one is somewhat more difficult to deflate. It does reduce spontaneity somewhat (it takes a little more than 5 minutes to inflate), but it performs the way it’s supposed to. I’m 81, so I’m guessing that it’s working better than if I had never had prostate cancer at all. It certainly never says “not today, dear, I have a headache.”

I attended a webinar in September 2023 out of Stanford University titled: “Penile Rehab: Optimizing Recovery of Erectile Function after Prostate Cancer Treatment” —> https://youtu.be/aRp1NXjPGLE

It’s very informative, and hopefully will provide information that you can discuss with your doctors to get beyond your current situation. (They also discuss penis pumps.)

They absolutely do work for intercourse. And if was not for one, I wouldn't have intercourse with my wife at least on earth a week. I'm 81 and had a radical prostatectamy in 2008, 36 radiation treatments in 2019 and now looking at 5 SBRT soo. So I know about the use of pills, trimix and penis pumps quite well.
