The use of a penis pump following prostate cancer surgery is intended to reduce symptoms such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the area surrounding the prostate. By creating a vacuum around the penis, the penis pump can stimulate blood flow to the area, which can help improve erectile function. Additionally, the vacuum created by the penis pump can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which can help reduce urinary incontinence.
