Erectile dysfunction or impotence is common among men of all ages. Impotence or erectile dysfunction has many causes including but not limited to alcohol use or abuse, depression, kidney failure, MS, prostate problems, stress, smoking, diabetes and atherosclerosis as well as high or low blood pressure that is uncontrolled. Erectile dysfunction or Impotence affects 1 in 8 men under the age of 50, and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50.

There are many FDA approved treatments for Impotence including Viagra, Cialis, Levitra as well as penile implants, suppositories and injections. Penis pumps or ED pumps are always offered first for most all Impotence patients. ED pumps or Penis pumps are generally offered first because they are not invasive, offer no side effects and generally have no bearing on other medical conditions. ED pumps or Penis pumps offer immediate results and can be used along with medication or alone. Pumps can be purchased without a prescription in many brick and mortar stores as well as online. There are many men who use pumps that do not suffer from Impotence, as they use it to simply add girth or length for a period of time to the penis. When used along with medication, pumps cause the initial erection and the medications continue that physiological process. When used alone, the pumps offer sufferers the opportunity to have an erection within a few minutes.

Pumps are made of a tube, restriction rings and a pump. The penis is inserted into the rings and then into the tube. The pump is then used to remove air from the tube and cause the blood to fill the penis to cause a sustainable erection. For many men, the pumps are more reliable than drugs or surgical procedures, therefore they are more commonly suggested for patients.
