Erectile Dysfunction is the inability to
sustain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. It affects millions
of men worldwide. The term "impotence" is generally avoided by
the medical professions since it may refer to any number of different
problems e.g. loss of libido, premature ejaculation, or the inability to
orgasm.
Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by a
variety of reasons. Erectile Dysfunction was commonly believed to be due
to psychological problems (psychogenic) but it is now known that 80 to 90
percent is caused by physical problems (organic), usually related to the
blood supply of the penis.
It is usually very simple to establish whether an
erectile problem is physical because most men experience erections during
sleep (when psychological factors are minimal). Health care professionals
check for nocturnal erections by using a high-tech equipment but there is
a low tech alternative you can try at home, called the postage stamp test.
Take a strip of postage stamps, wrap it snugly around the base of the
flaccid penis, overlapping the ends and making a sealed loop. If the loop
is broken in the morning, this usually indicates there was a nocturnal
erection. Whilst this test is easy and inexpensive, it's not a very
accurate -consult your doctor for more accurate tests.
Causes of ED can include:
Alcohol
Chronic diseases, especially renal failure and dialysis
Depression
Diabetes
Drugs - use and abuse
High levels of blood cholesterol
Hormonal Abnormalities
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Lack of sexual knowledge
Vascular disease and vascular surgery
Peyronie's disease (distortion or curvature of the penis)
Poor sexual techniques
Priapism (inflammation of the penis)
Prostate problems
Poor interpersonal relationships
Smoking
Spinal cord injury
We talk to many
hundreds of impotent men every week. Some are suffering from
stress, diabetes or the effects of advancing age or illness. In
most cases we are able to help. Please

Many Erectile Dysfunction clinics around the world actively
promote the use of vacuum
developers as a means of treatment. Vacuum developers are
highly effective in producing erections, even when other treatments have
failed. Some couples are attracted by a method that does not involve the
use of drugs. If the couple select a vacuum developer as their treatment
of first choice, most will be very satisfied as even the most
reluctant penis usually succumbs to the attention of the pump.
The resulting erection is retained by the use of a penis
ring and the new found erection put to the desired use.
Used
in conjunction with our range of
creams, excellent results can be
achieved.
HOW
DO VACUUM DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY WORK?
Vacuum
developers work by inserting the flaccid penis into
the cylinder and pumping until an erect penis is achieved.
The
erection is then retained in place by a penis
ring and
the cylinder removed. You should be able to undertake
normal activity for some time thereafter.
Over a course of time, the penis expands its capacity
for blood flow and it is built up rather like
bodybuilding. Because of the blood flow created by
regular use, potency is enhanced resulting in a
longer, stronger and hotter erection.
As
well as increased blood flow, the pumping involved in using
a vacuum developer represents an intense vascular
workout for the penis. This helps flush out the
fibrous buildup in the veins and arteries, allowing
you to keep the penis in a first-rate condition.
