Vacuum pump advice needed

Posted by graybeard46 @graybeard46, May 15 7:09am

I am almost 2 yrs post prostate surgery, radiation and 2 hormone shots. I have had no luck getting a usable erection. I have a quality manual vacuum pump that doesn’t give me enough, I’ve tried Bimix and Trimix , Viagra, etc no luck . Before I give up has anyone tried a manual pump then bought a battery powered one ? Willing to try if maybe they work better, many of us have problems with the pump even when used correctly the girth at the base begins to hurt before you get proper length and after 2 yrs I’ve probably lost an inch or more , hate to give up, my wife doesn’t suffer like I do she’s ok at 69 or having sex but it efft me every day. I have to accept this eventually but not easy

@beachflyer Thank you for the very helpful information! I am 7 weeks post-Orgovyx and testosterone is just starting to rise, but not enough for a "real" erection. I heard a presentation by an implant surgeon this week and will keep your experience in mind. I had to chuckle when I read "penile traction," thinking of hanging from the ceiling, suspended by my penis. It didn't sound comfortable. I am currently on 5mg daily Cialis and use a VED after showers as rehab. One bit of information at the recent meeting was to be sure to take Viagra on an empty stomach, otherwise effects will be reduced. All the best!

Good you are using the VED and Cialis as that was part of Dr Patels recommended pre-surgery routine. This was the traction device recommended: https://www.restorex.com/

All the best!
