Like any device that involves the use of your penis, care should be exercised when using the product and to properly heed the precautions if any the manufacturer gives. The trouble is not all manufacturers go to the trouble to duly notify you of any dangers involving their product, as some people have found out.
A penis pump should be supplied with instructions regarding the proper use of the product, so be sure to carefully follow these in order to avoid any unavoidable damage to the penis.
A penis pump manufacturer should know the extent of damage their product can possibly effect on a man’s penis, and are obliged to disclose any precautions at the same time without giving away too much as to dissuade the customer from purchasing.
In reality they aren’t that dangerous, only when used improperly. So what is meant by improperly? If you have ever used one you may have already experienced it before to now know to be careful to not let it happen again. People using the penis pump for the first time will inflate their penis up fully by sucking all the air out of the tube, which is good as you now have an extra large erection. The problem only becomes apparent after excessive use.
If you use a penis pump, you can force your penis to get an erection, in addition you can pump up your erection size much bigger and fatter than your normal erection size. This is where the problem lies because once you pump up your penis to full capacity beyond the size of your normal erection size, and if you leave it for too long, or carry on pumping as much as you can, you will be left with a sore penis!
Using a penis pump to get an erection is not the same as a naturally occurring erection. A penis can be left looking swollen for a few days after excessive use and might feel sore before naturally healing. This was just caused by excessive use and is a common reported side effect. The important word here is excessive as it is only excessive use that causes the bruising side effects. If you do happen to use it excessively on your first go and experience a swollen looking penis it should disappear after a few days, if it does not a visit to the doctors would be recommended.
So if you want to try one of these devices of which they are freely available and abundant even on Amazon or adult toys web stores, the proper way to use it is to not pump too hard for too long, or leave your penis in the pumped state for too long. You can pump as much as you want even until all the veins in the penis start protuding which might be dangerous if left for too long, as the pressure could possibly rupture some of the smaller veins in your penis. A good quality penis pump should have safety certificates ensuring quick release of the air if too much pressure is built up. Most pumps however will not be powerful enough to enable the kinds of pressure that will do any serious damage.
It would also not be a good idea to use a penis pump if you have recently had a surgery or stitches to the penis where the pressure of the pump might tear the stitches and reopen any vulnerable gashes on the penis.
If you are not sure a doctor should be consulted to advise against the use of a penis pump. In reality a lot of doctors will happily recommend a penis pump if you have erectile dysfunction problems, so penis pumps remain popular products recommended by doctors if you have problems getting erections. As you will find out, it is very easy to achieve an erection using a penis pump.
