Increases leakage after using vacuum pump

[Archives1]

Hi all, I have recently been told to use a vacuum pump on my penis to increase blood flow and help my incontinence recovery following robotic prostatectomy operation. I have found I leak more following using it for a few hours after . Has anyone else suffered the same issue and if so does it get better in time. I am 4 months from my operation. Thank you

Steve,

First a short answer and then a more detailed answer.

Short answer: Yes, not uncommon from what I've read and experienced.

Longer answer: By now you should be in physiotherapy and doing Kegel exercises daily. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles to compensate for trauma inflicted around your prostate will help with your leakage issues including post vacuum pump. That and just time to allow the body to recover.

There is undoubtedly some medical explanation for what you are experiencing but from a fellow RP patient what you are experiencing is normal.

I found that I did leak more for a couple hours after using the vacuum pump.

A vacuum pump will help with blood flow to the penis to reduce long term Erectile Dysfunction. A vacuum pump will NOT help with incontinence.

Focus more on pumping up and releasing several times over a 15 minute session once daily or every other day. If not using a water vacuum pump, lubricate / moisturize the skin to keep it from breaking. If you feel pain, use less pressure.

Keep doing kegels and perhaps do a few kegels while pumping.



Here is how I use my Bathmate vacuum pump.

I purchase both the Bathmate Xtreme 5 and the Vacurect pumps. I prefer the Bathmate to the Vacurect.

Vacuum Pumps provide two functions 1) get fresh blood in the penis and 2) getting blood and holding it for pleasure. Important to note that both of the following pumps manufacturers recommend only pumping 10 to 15 minutes a day. The Vacurect STRONGLY notes to only use a tension ring for 30 minutes to keep from causing damage.

I am using the Bathmate hydro extreme 5 (the extreme has a hand pump and hydro means it uses water instead of air). I sit on the corner of the tub with cups of warm water to refill the pump. I pump 3 minutes with 2 minutes massage and repeating 2 more times for a maximum total of 15 minutes. I use a conditioning shampoo when massaging. I did not purchase the overpriced special lubricates. (Not my ideal, someone else mentioned and I like it).

Bathmate is located in the UK and I received mine in a week.
I signed up for the email and they send a code to get 30% off.

The Vacurect is more for creating an erection and using it. The Vacurect has tension rings that attach to the bottom of the cylinder. I bought the deluxe with 10 tension rings, but the Vacurect OTC with 5 tension rings is cheaper.

Steve been using mine now for about 2weeks. My total leakage seems to have improved. I use it twice a day.

Was told by my therapist to do keegels while errect with ring on.
