When it comes to the treatment of erectile dysfunction – New York Urology Specialists are a step ahead. Better Science Means Better Care.
What is a Vacuum Erection Device (VED or “Penis Pump”)
The vacuum erection device is a bottle-like cone that goes over the penis. When a vacuum is created inside this chamber, the penis inside the chamber experiences negative pressure which results in blood flowing into the penis. Blood flowing into the penis normally results in an erection. Once the penis is erect, a rubber band is rolled off the vacuum pump onto the base of the penis. This “captures” the blood in the penis and prevents the erection from going away.
Once a man is done having sex, the rubber band is removed which leads to loss of the erection. It is advised not to keep the rubber band more than 30 minutes at a time to prevent ‘penile strangulation”.
When is Vacuum Erection Device Useful?
Vacuum erection device (VED) is used for the treatment of men with vascular erectile dysfunction. It also works for many men with ‘venous leak’ or veno-occlusive insufficiency. VED can help men get and maintain erections that are hard enough for sex.
Typically, VED is used for men when medications such as sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) do not work.
How Effective is Penile Pump (VED) in Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Vacuum erection device is effective in as many as 60% of men. However, for men for whom Cialis and Viagra do not work, the erections generated with a vacuum device are typically not as good as can be induced with medications such as Trimix and with a penile implant.
How Satisfied are Men with Vacuum Pump?
Only around 30% of men who try vacuum erection pump find that it works well for them and like it. While it may work for other men, often erections produced with vacuum erection devices are not very hard. A significant number of men experience pain with the use of vacuum erection devices.
Many men find it cumbersome to use and prefer other treatment options such as a penile implant or penile injections. Most men who try vacuum erections devices have tried Viagra or Cialis previously and moved to VED because medications did not work for them.
What are the Benefits of the Penis Pump (Vacuum Erection Device)?
Because it is a mechanical device, there is no effect on the rest of the body and no significant side effects other than possible bruising and pain in the penis.
VEDs tend to last a long time and are less expensive in the long run than medications. The only recurrent cost is the cost of the lubricant and occasionally, the rubber bands and batteries need to be changed. Heavy users of the penis pump, can easily go through a pack of batteries a month.
2 Types of Vacuum Erection Devices:
- Manual Vacuum Pump – the vacuum is created by pumping out air from the penis; simple and works well; consists of two parts the penile pump and the pump for sucking the air out of the penile pump.
- Electric “Battery Operated” Vacuum Pump. This marvel of technology consists of one part the penile pump that has a powerful suction unit attached to it, which is battery operated. While theoretically, an electric device sounds exciting, many devices do not generate adequate vacuum or do not allow precise control. Many men are well served with a good manual vacuum pump.
What are the Options for Treating Erectile Dysfunction if Vacuum Pump does Not Work?
If a penile vacuum pump does not create a sufficiently hard erection for intercourse, other effective treatment options are available.
If you have not tried medications such as Cialis (tadalafil), Viagra (sildenafil) and Levitra, they may work for you.
If the penile pump and Cialis or Viagra do not work, penile injections and penile implants are excellent treatment options for men with ED. Both penile injections with Trimix and penile implant tend to produce rigid erections.

Circumcision and vasectomy by Hector Nieves on Feb 22, 2022Todo muy bien con el personal, la cirugia, el seguimiento, etc. Lo unico que podria decir un poquito negativo es el tiempo de espera despues de la hora de la cita fue bastante, pero con relacion a todo lo demas es excelente.
Review by Armando Santos on Dec 16, 2021Great experience
best urology doctor by Winston – via Healthgrades.com on Feb 14, 2021Dr Alex Shteynshlyuger is the best urology doctor there is. He is attentive, analytical, knowledgeable and skillful. Very confidential with a masterfully professional staff. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr Shteynshlyuger to the world because I am a satisfied patient of his.
solved my problem with ED by via HealthGrades.com on Jan 29, 2021Dr. Shteynshlyuger helped to solve my problem with ED
100% perfect circumcision by via HealthGrades.com on Jan 21, 2021Dr. Shteynshlyuger did what I would call an 100% perfect circumcision on me. I can’t even find my scar. He cut the precise right amount of skin. I now feel extremely happy, confident, and proud of how it looks. I am 100% satisfied with my results and I would recommend him to any guy seeking an adult circumcision. I healed in 5.5 weeks but his recommendation is 6 weeks to heal so that means zero “activity” for 6 weeks to avoid damaging the stitching. The surgical glue I pulled off at 5.5 weeks. It is important to not remove it before! The lower posterior of my shaft did not look good at first, especially w/ the surgical glue on it, but over weeks it looked better and better w/ the final results by 5.5-6 weeks being excellent When the doctor injected the anesthetic, it was painful since he must inject it deep ~6-8times. During the surgery my discomfort was maybe a 1/10, so tolerable. Make sure to buy lots of bandages/gauze before/after for daily change for 5-6 weeks

recommend Dr. Shteynshlyuger by via HealthGrades.com on Jan 04, 2021Yes I would recommend Dr. Shteynshlyuger . Effective physician at all levels.
finally able to enjoy life again by Josh via Google.com on Dec 16, 2020Dr. Alex absolutely changed my life and restored my faith in doctors. When my condition first started I saw four different urologists over a period of about 6 months. All four either laughed me out of their office saying there’s nothing they could do to help, that my pain was normal, or prescribed me something that did not help or made everything worse. I prepared to live my life (22 years old now) with chronic pain that made participating in every day activities extremely difficult. Finally after getting the courage to start looking for new doctors again I found Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger and decided to give his office a call. I proceeded to see him shortly after my call, and now a few visits and months later I am finally able to enjoy life again. Dr. Alex took the time to do the tests that other doctors did not even mention. He took different approaches, gave well explained answers to all of my questions, and made me feel like there are some doctors who really do care. On top of all of that he has some of the most helpful and kind staff I have come across. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for Dr. Alex!
No pain at all by Elson via Google.com on Nov 25, 2020This was a very fast and easy process. No pain at all and the job was very well done. He stays on top of your progress and helps to heal faster. I will definitely recommend Dr Alex at all times!!!

I would highly recommend it to anyone by Javier – Via Google.com on Oct 11, 2020I saw the reviews about this place and was very hesitant to go but something was telling me to go with them and I don’t regret it at all, the doctor did a great job and helped me understand the process plus the staff was amazing I would highly recommend it to anyone! quick story after the procedure I was in soo much pain and called the office on a SUNDAY, the doctor gave me a call back within 15 minutes and prescribed a stronger medication, to me that meant a lot for the doctor to take time from his day on a Sunday to help me.
highly qualified diagnostician by Vladimir via Google.com on Sep 23, 2020I have been observed by Dr. Alex for many years and I must say that he is a highly qualified diagnostician, and also several times I have received qualified microsurgical assistance and very useful advice. The only reason I put 4 with a plus is a somewhat long wait for the reception.

Shang Ring circumcision by via HealthGrades.com on Oct 29, 2019Overall, it was a good experience. Dr. Shteynshlyuger (Dr. Alex) was very nice, warm and helpful. He performed a Shang Ring circumcision for me and the procedure went well. I’m pleased with the results and there were no complications. If anyone is interested in the shang ring circumcision in the tristate area, then I’d recommend him. The whole procedure is $1850, which includes the initial consultation (provided that ther are no complications) and every follow up visit up to six months.
