PUMP

From: Reuben Rothstein on 1 Oct 2005 11:18 Hi All, I am 6 months away from RP - all is well except that Willie does not get up when he sees a lady. Anyone with good / bad experience with a pump? THANKS
From: Steve Kramer on 1 Oct 2005 13:29 Rueben, I was a short-time user of the pump. It took me a long time to get around to getting one and far too soon thereafter went on ADT. But, my experience with it was good. It's somewhat messy, but it worked well to help me get back in the saddle. -- PSA 16 10/17/2000 @ 46 Biopsy 11/01/2000 G7 (3+4), T2c RRP 12/15/2000 G7 (3+4), T3cN0M0 Neg margins PSA .1 .1 .1 .27 .37 .75 EBRT 05-07/2002 @ 47 PSA .34 .22 .15 .21 .32 Lupron 07/03 (1 mo) 8/03 (4 mo), 12/03, 4/04, 09/04, 01/05 PSA .07 .05 .06 .05 non Illegitimi carborundum "Reuben Rothstein" <rolist(a)attglobal.net> wrote in message news:4t9tj1586ntv9tg4eov976nin8r2svukj9(a)4ax.com... > Hi All, > > I am 6 months away from RP - all is well > except that Willie does not get up when he sees a lady. > Anyone with good / bad experience with a pump? > > THANKS > >
From: c palmer on 1 Oct 2005 13:22 hi reuben - the pump is probably the most important part of regeneration of the erectlle system after the RP - in my opinion. and it is also the most over looked. here's why........before surgery, you were getting erections. it was a natural process, and the pump is to this natural process as CPR is to heart attacks. in both applications, the organ can not function on it's own and needs help until such time, it can take over again. there are two major features that need to be discuss. one, fresh blood. anywhere, there is a large amount of fresh blood, the body heals faster. the mouth, face, head are examples of this. so, by manually bringing blood to this area will aid in the regeneration of the nerves. second you are expanding the bladders inside the organ for erection. they haven't been used for awhile and will ache when expanded. look at it like walking after being in bed ridden for a long time. your legs will ache being used the first few times. ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it.

From: Ron B on 1 Oct 2005 14:59 Hi Reuben. I'm about 6 months since open RRP surgery also and the guys are right about the pump. Curtis gave a great explanation as to WHY they help...and Len gave a great reason to get a "good" one. My doc likes the use of daily ED drugs (or Cialis, every other day) and the use of a pump and manual stimulation...all starting just 1 month out from surgery. I got a 'novelty' pump right away. Now 'novelty' doesn't mean that it has a picture of clown on it, or that it's a toy...but it's often not as well made as the type that Len describes. I'm going to get a better one (which is worth it) while I hopefully await spontaneous erections. As they said...it's good to get the blood flowing...not to mention the positive psychological effect of seeing an erection again. Best wishes, Ron B. Chicago
