VED Pumping after surgery

[sliphill]

Honestly, why not use the pump of the implant. I dont see a need for a VED pump.

Honestly, why not use the pump of the implant. I dont see a need for a VED pump.

My reasoning on this very narrow question is this: A very small vacuum assist might make less pressure required on the pump in the scrotum. So, why not indeed?

Here's why not: Suction on the outside of the penis will tend to pull your flesh away from the implant. A cavity between the outside of the implant and the surrounding tissues will fill with bodily fluid, blood, lymph, whatever. This pooling (like a blister inside you) can become infected or coagulate or I don't know what all. Could be very bad news. Look up the word "abcess".

I thought of the same question a few months ago when I read that pumping up on a tender scrotum can make early activation problematic and reasoned from a purely hydraulic standpoint that it seems reasonable. But not knowing that dire consequences are or are not likely gives me caution.

And my V.E.D. does not have a pressure gauge.

Where did you get all this from? And why am I under the impression posts of mine got deleted here?
