Cycling versus VED pumping

[Injustright]

Perhaps this is supposed to be obvious but I don’t recall seeing it mentioned lately. When implant recipients talk about starting to pump, are they referring to pumping up the implant, or continuing to use vacuum erection devices, or perhaps both? I am due for an implant next week and already contemplating trying to stretch Mr. happy into acceptable dimensions.

In this context, they are generally referring to cycling their new implant. Cycling early is important because it stretches the cavernosum and helps recover or gain size by preventing the formation of scar tissue.

You are late for VED therapy. That is usually for a minimum of 2 weeks and then many doctors have you stop a few days before surgery. If you do decide to try it for a few days be careful as you can cause damage. Go realy slow and keep the vacuum low below 5 inHZ. This is a good article to use for VED therapy and is in the documents worth reading thread in the general section of this board. Lots of other good information over there that men should read.

Being this is the implant board the reference to pumping is mostly related to the implant pump. But it is also called inflating. There are a few threads about VED use. And in most of those about VED use post-surgery pumping is still mostly related to the implant pump. But pre implant surgery in regard to pumping will be in reference to VED use. Cycling is the process of inflating (pumping) and waiting for a certain amount of time and deflating a certain number of times a day.

Best of luck to you with your surgery.
