Using the VED with an Implant

[Hawkman]

I see some men post about using a VED with an implant and even that some surgeons reportedly have findings that it help preserve size (Larry).

I am interested in the SPECIFIC DETAILS of usage, and any links to trials or studies.

If your doctor recommended VED use please share the details.

As always, thanks Guys!

I don't know why but I am having significant difficulties attaching a Pdf and then I converted it to a .doc and it still would not attach. If you would like any of my docs authored papers, PM me with an email address and i will happily send it to you.

Can the documents be found on the web somewhere?

The one I am talking about is Titled "MAINTAINING PENILE SIZE FOLLOWING PENILE IMPLANT.

If this is it it's already on the reading list but it doesn't say much about using the VED after an implant: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4708606/#__sec14title

My Doc said that a VED cant do more that your implant pump. He said it does the same thing - i look forward to any comment on that.

I asked my doctor about using the VED to help stretch while cycling. He said pumping the implant would cause better stretch than using a VED and the VED could possibly cause trouble for the cylinders. I know others indicate differently, just telling you what I heard.

I'm giving my VED to a friend here at FT, and glad to be done with it. YMMV.

Hydraulically, the implant cannot have any effect at all on engorgement of the corpus spongiosum. The expansion of the implant cylinders may stretch the spongiosum along the shaft marginally, but engorgement is simply not part of the implant's intent, design or ability.

The VED's function is totally all about engorgement. It also draws blood into the tissues, helping with oxygenation, though not as much as pure arterial flow. The vacuum will draw blood from veins (backflow) in addition to drawing from arteries.
