Hello there modern man. Viagra hit or miss. In this video I will show you how penis pump really work for ed, who should avoid them and the safety step that make the difference between injury and a reliable erection. I'm Dr. Anne Trong. I I've treated over 7,000 men with ED over 25 years. So let's get back into it. Have you ever heard the penis pump? Let me know if you ever used the penis pump or heard of it before. What I find interesting in treating 7,000 men, it's about 95% of them do not know about the penis pump. I think it's the best equipment a man should know about. So this is a penis pump. The medical word term is vacuum erection device or vacuum assisted erection device. What it is is that it is a cylinder and then when you do its lever, it creates negative pressure and you put your penis through here. It create negative pressure which then suction the penis and then it also pull blood into the penis as well. So it gives the penis an immediate erection to within minutes. So this is what it looks like, but I find that 95% of my patients don't know what that is. So let's dive into why you should use a penis pump if you have ed. Let's compare that head to head with even Viagra. So how it works is that the penis goes into this cylinder and then it gets distended with blood that is bulk from the artery as well as from the vein. And it's essentially giving you an artificial erection independent of Viagra, Cialis or anything else. When an adequate erection is achieved, which is about maybe 85 to 90% of your erection, you can then pull down and put a penis ring at the base to trap the blood in there and then the cylinder is removed. So for ed, the penis pump is purely a mechanical solution that does not cure ed, but it reliably generates a usable erection in most men. It's especially useful when you cannot take Viagra because severe vascular disease or certain medical condition. And it's actually very effective for men that had Prostate removal or prostatectomy. Because when your penis is engorged with blood in here, it improves oxygenation, meaning more oxygen. It reduce low oxygen induced muscle atrophy, or word for that is called hypoxia induced apoptosis. And then the penis pump also limit fibrosis, which means scar tissue in the penis. And also prevent loss of length as well too. So multiple benefits. So oxygen prevent muscle shrinkage, it prevent scar tissue development and prevent length loss. It's kind of like you don't use it, you lose it. Okay, where can you get the penis pump? You can get the penis pump@ednomore.com or check the link down below this video to get the penis pump so you can start exercising your penis again. Remember, you are only one pump away. So how you do it is that you would apply water based lubricant. Make sure it's water based lubricant to the base right here and also on the inside of the cylinder as well. And you also want to shave also the base of your, your penis. But make sure that the base of the penis and the penis is well lubricated. But then you will slide this over, pull down your scrotum so your scrotum doesn't get suctioned into it. And then you will gradually, gradually use the pump because this one has gauge here and you don't want to go over more than 10 millimeter mercury. I hope you see that gauge more than 10 millimeter mercury. But most men will get results around 5 to 7. Okay, modern man, if you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research back ways to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation and fuel your hormone naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this style of eating. So check out this Mediterranean diet link right here below and get that as soon as you can. Stronger testosterone and better erection. Now the erection oftentimes feels cooler. It feels like congested erection and somewhat a little bit less natural in appearance. And sometimes there's a hinge effect at the base and a little bit of swelling at the tip. Your penis is a functional for penetrative action. So the advantages of the penis pump it is drug free, fairly safe, relatively low cost. The only disadvantage is that you got to use it, got to find a private space to use it. You is that there's potential bruising and some discomfort. So let's compare this head to head with Viagra. How Viagra works is that it increases nitric oxide in the penis to allow more blood flow. The penis pump is by negative pressure that draw blood in to the penis and then you can coincide that with the penis ring as well. Now this is important here. Pay attention to this. In men that takes Viagra, it's effective in 60 to 80% with proper use. Now for men that uses penis pump, 69% to 93% are satisfied with it. So it's even a higher percentage that use the penis pump even likable. And in fact, there was a study that was done that looked at men that use Viagra and the men that use penis pump, the men that used Viagra stopped the Viagra because they had side effects and then switch over to using the penis pump. So satisfaction with the penis pump is actually higher than Viagra. But the convenience, the Viagra beta is convenience and that is oral and that you can take it. When sex with the penis pump, you need setup and a little bit more interruptive and maybe take a little bit more time as well. But what's good about this is that you can do it in the same day, the day that you plan to have sex. And it may even help you last a little bit longer. Definitely help you with your erection. However, Viagra will cause a lot of side effects such as headache, flushing, blood pressure changes and also visual changes versus the penis pump. It can cause bruising, maybe discomfort and a sensation called a cold penis. The penis pump is a natural solution and it's best used if you don't want a pill with systemic side effects. Or that if you take Viagra you have side effects as well. Or if you take Viagra or Cialis and it doesn't work for you, penis pump will be effective as well. Men struggling to stay hard. Most of the time it comes down to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning Wood Smoothie, A nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood flow naturally.

Or go to good morningwoodsmoothie.com who shouldn't use the penis pump. Penis pumps are safe for most men with ed but there are small group that you need to be cautious about. If you are on anticoagulation or blood thinner bleeding disorder, you need to be Careful. If you're on warfarin, if you're on blood thinner for your heart, and if you have an inherited blood bleeding disorder, then when using the penis pump you have increased risk. Bruising, hematoma or swelling and internal bleeding. That's one thing. And then if you have sickle cell disease, then it will carry higher risk of clotting and even priapism, which is prolonged erection more than four hours as well as bleeding. If you have Peyronis that are more than 35 degrees curvature, then using the penis pump will increase risk of more trauma and pain. So you don't want to use that. You want to use this when you have about 35 degrees or less. If you have peyronie, you definitely want to mix this with stem cell therapy such as PRP injection into the scar tissue to release that curvature. And of course, you don't want to use it when you have an infection in the penis or ulcer or skin irritation. And you don't want to use it when you have decreased sensation such as like a spinal cord injury or severe severe neuropathy, where you start to have atrophy of the muscles in your hand and your leg as well. So that are the main reason, other than that it's very, very safe to use and that the precaution you need to be aware of is that use a device that has a gauge what this one does and that trim the pubic hair at the base and use a water based lubricant around the opening area here. Okay. Make sure that you have good pressure down on the base of the penis against the pubic bone and that you also do this while sitting or sitting at the edge of the bed, or sitting at the chair or standing against the wall. And that if you have anticoagulant, you take anticoagulant or bleeding disorder or sickle cell or major penile curvature, you should definitely get clearance first from your medical doctor. So something to think about as another safe alternative and natural alternative to ED without having to deal with the systemic effect of the side effects of Viagra or Cialis. Now you can even combine the penis pump while taking Cialis or Viagra as well too. Where can you get the penis pump?
