Hi guys.
I finally got my Vacuum to work, but this morning, after using It, i noticed red spots along my shaft.
Is it a big deal? Should i stop pumping and throw my VED away?
I'm using It in order to Stretch my penis before surgery.
Thanks.

Probably pumping up too much and using too much pressure.Pump up and hold it and you will gradually feel the pressure increasing.You don’t want it to start causing pain,if it does release the pressure and start over!Its a learning process to use one properly!

Usually it is too much pressure. Back off a little.

You're right. I probably overpumped. I was worried after seeing those red spots. I don't want to cause permanent nerve or vascular damaged to my penis, especially before surgery.
Hope to heal.

When I first started using VED, I had a similar problem but it was red spot on the glans. Went to my Uro and he was not concerned as it had started dissipating. It was gone in a about a week and repeated then next time I pumped. I then started reading FT posts concerning pumping and change from pumping all at once to gradual. No issues since. Since I'm on blood thinners, I attribute the spots to a hematoma from internal blood leakage (personal and not professional opinion). Recommend just take it easy and slowly increase the vacuum.

They're called petechiae. Formed when capillaries break open. Usually caused by too much vacuum applied too fast. It's a sign to back it down a few notches. Should gradually disappear. Most of the time it's considered a minor injury.
