What precautions should be taken when using vacuum pumps?
First of all, you should be aware that quality products usually cost anywhere between $200 and $400 dollars in the US at the time of this writing. Much cheaper vacuum pumps are available, but their quality is questionable and they are usually manufactured by less-known companies and these brands might not be covered by your medical insurer. The more expensive are either fully or partially covered and you can get informed by your medical insurer before deciding which particular vacuum pump you would like to purchase. Before undertaking this (or any other impotence treatment of that matter) one should always consult a qualified medical professional; depending on your circumstances other treatments might be more appropriate. In case you experience discomfort or observe the lack of any positive effect, call your doctor and discuss other options.
