Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 2006Penis pump
I have been using the Osbon pump and am not very happy with it. It tends to suck my scrotum inside and also when the constriction bands are pushed off the cylinder I am given a painful snap. I also have had to use two rings to maintain an erection which of course means a double snap when they are installed. In all it is a very painful process but still worth it. I am thinking of trying another brand of pump, Vacurect for instance. I would like any input on what works for others. PSA <0.04 and holding.

The scrotum problem was easy to deal with, but it was four years ago, so I don't know what I did. I got used to the snap, which I found was more disconcerting than painful. I never experienced an pain or bruising afterwards. When I had problems, I found that their help line was pretty helpful in finding solutions. For example, I had problems with the rings, and they sent me another type of ring which worked much better. > In all it is a very painful process but still worth it. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Roy Glad to hear about your PSA, Roy. But, which Roy are you? LRP in 2004 or RRP in 2006?

You will see stars!

After starting this journey with a Gleason 8 and Stage T3, a PSA of 0.05 would seem to be quite desirable. Congratulations.

It worked fine...... I needed the smaller band. You have to understand, use lots of KY, pump it manually, let one ring slip off, have fun. Anyway, I have graduated many years ago and believe the pump was a great device to use while waiting for nerves to kick in. I did use injections too. Not bad......they all help keep the unit operating. Remember to never over constrict. It could cause permanent damage. I have an area on my unit where maybe the bands were used or it got bent that is not full during erection. I really do not care as long as 95% works, and it does....
