Is it recommended to use VED before IPP?

[Jack1104]

I was just wondering if people used a VED before upcoming implant surgery and how they felt it went, what the results were…

Thanks,

Yes

Absolutely, yes.

One function is to prevent degradation of your penis size and health. Another is to restore recently lost size (this is controversial and may not work for every penis, but it does not hurt to try).

Regular erections (most men get erections during sleep, even if they don't have a sexual partner) keep the elasticity of the penile tissues and also flush healthy blood through the corpus cavernosum tissues.

Regular use of a Vacuum Erection Device (VED) can emulate those nocturnal erections and have been shown to prevent size loss and even restore some (recently) lost size.

I recommend a protocol of a 30 minute session twice a day. Inflate the penis (by applying vacuum) to a full erection, hold that level of vacuum for 30 to 60 seconds and release the vacuum, allowing the penis to become completely flaccid. Then repeat the cycle for 30 minutes. Do not apply vaccuum past a level of slight discomfort because too much vacuum can cause damage to the penis. Another protocol is to apply vacuum, keep the vacuum and increase by small increments as comfort level allows. 30 minutes twice a day.

If you go back and read old threads you will find links to the medical journal articles that describe these in detail and discuss results.

When I first joined FrankTalk, I took a couple weekends to read through two and a half years of posts/threads with titles that interested me and appeared informative. I recommend this to you. I also scoured the internet for articles from (legitimate, peer-reviewed) medical journals for information.

Sorry, I don't have links handy.

That is from the documents worth reading in the general section of this forum. You need to also read the documents under the VED section of that thread. You need to follow proper VED use. Pump slowly, and keep vacuum for being to high. Damage can occur with improper VED use so be careful. And doctors differ on this a lot and some do not want you to use VED prior to surgery for a few days or a week. So you need to talk to your doctor.

As was posted take time to read those documents and use the search function to read old posts on this.
