Encountered a disaster when using a vacuum cleaner to 'enlarge the penis'

Mr. M. said he bought a vacuum pump online to “enlarge his penis” for 1.2 million VND. After using it a few times, he noticed that his penis was increasingly swollen and bruised. Only when his glans was bruised did he go to the doctor.

On April 22, Dr. Tra Anh Duy, a specialist at Men's Health Center, said that through examination, testing, and testing, Mr. M. was fortunate to only have a hematoma in the glans due to vacuum suction for too long and a ruptured superficial vein in the penis, causing swelling and bruising. Mr. M. was treated and fortunately recovered without any sequelae.

Similarly, Mr. TTH (26 years old, in Ho Chi Minh City) also went online to find a method to improve his erection. He was introduced to a vacuum device that effectively treats erectile dysfunction for nearly 2 million VND. He bought it to try. During the process of using it, he felt pain and scratches on his penis. After that, the erection condition got worse and worse, not as advertised.

Dr. Anh Duy examined and assessed that Mr. H's penis was only scratched on the outside due to the suction pressure of the machine and the machine's rubber band was not used properly. At the same time, the doctor also screened for the cause of Mr. H's erectile dysfunction in order to provide better treatment.

Vacuum cleaners do not increase penis size

Doctor Anh Duy said that vacuum devices are not effective in increasing penis size. These devices are only indicated for use in cases of severe erectile dysfunction, when they do not respond to medication. At the same time, the device must be instructed in detail by a male specialist to avoid possible unwanted consequences.

"Therefore, men should not buy and use it without the recommendation of a specialist. Once men feel self-conscious about their penis or experience the condition of 'the top doesn't listen to the bottom', it is best to go to a reputable medical facility with a urology department for consultation, examination and treatment," Dr. Duy recommends.
