Vacuum Erection Device after Prostate Cancer Treatment


The vacuum erection device helps men who experience impotence obtain a full erection after prostate cancer treatment. The vacuum erection device is a tube that is placed over a lubricated penis. When a man activates the pump, blood is drawn into the penis and kept in through a ring that is worn at the base of the penis. The ring can be worn safely for the next thirty minutes. If the ring is the correct size, the man will not experience any discomfort.
