Can it be saved?

My prostate surgery early this year left me 100% impotent, whereas I had been able to get an erection beforehand, considering I'm in my 60s. (I'm also 100% incontinent, but that's another story).

 

I have had good success using the VED (also known as "the pump"). The upside is that this vacuum device that can produce an excellent erection -- probably better than pre-surgery for me. The downside is that it takes a bit of the spontaneity out of lovemaking. The cost (for the battery-operated model like I have) is just under $200. I consider it a good investment, however.

 

See www.phoenix5.org/sexaids/veds/vedmenu.html for specific (and graphic) details.

 

Best wishes.

Hello!

 

I'm using an electric pump model. If you try to get an erection too rapidly, it can be uncomfortable or painful.

Hi,

 

You might want to talk to your urologist regarding why it hurts when removing the pump. It shouldn't, unless you're having some other issue, perhaps related to your surgery (I'm assuming you've had a prostatectomy).

 

Good luck!
