Erectile dysfunction or Impotence is a medical condition with symptoms of not being able to sustain or maintain an erection. Impotence or erectile dysfunction affects as many as 1 in 8 men under the age of 50 and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 every year. The most popular treatments for ED are called vacuum therapy devices. These are also known as penis pumps or ED pumps when used for medical purposes. Penis pumps and ED pumps or vacuum therapy devices can be purchased without a prescription, offer no side effects and has immediate results with no drug interactions. Many vacuum therapy devices can be found through online and offline retailers. Vacuum therapy devices work the same as those devices called penis pumps. The penis is inserted into the penile tube, and the pump is then engaged. This causes the air to be removed from the tube, causing a natural erection. Support rings are then placed at the base of the penis to sustain the erection for sexual function and the pump is removed. Vacuum therapy devices are used by men who have ED from many causes including injury, surgery, prostate issues, cancers, high or low blood pressure and even atherosclerosis and diabetes. Vacuum therapy devices can be found for varying costs based on the retailers visited. There are many companies that sell vacuum therapy devices that will work directly with your insurance company or Medicare to help you get your pump for little or no cost. Vacuum therapy devices can sometimes be purchased in this manner if medical necessity can be proven. Many times this can be done with supporting medical data and testing as well as a diagnosis of ED from your physician.
