SOMATherapy-ED acts as a "Penis Gym"!

It is recognised that a prolonged erection problem can lead to shrinkage of the penile tissues and a reduction in penile circulation (non-use atrophy). Regular use of a SOMAerect vacuum therapy device will duplicate the benefits of nocturnal erections, reversing penile shrinkage, reconditioning penile circulation and promoting a return to good penile health.

The SOMAerect "Penis GYM" concept

This therapeutic benefit of regular device use is perhaps best understood as the SOMAerect "Penis GYM" concept. In other words, we can talk in terms of regular device usage equating to penile "exercise" with a resulting improvement in penile "fitness" - hence a physiotherapeutic effect.

In fact, published clinical studies have shown that "patients who underwent daily vacuum therapy usage, showed, at the end of the (6 months) treatment, a significant improvement in spontaneous erectile ability". Of 1,517 patients prescribed vacuum therapy and participating in a follow-up survey, 25% credit the therapy as allowing them to perform occasionally without the use of an aid, and 17% credit the therapy with full restoration of natural potency. J Urology 141 (2): 320-2, February 1989.

Reversal of Non-use Atrophy

Erectile dysfunction following most forms of radical pelvic surgery is thought to be secondary to damage to the cavernous nerves and the reduction of arterial inflow. The combination of nerve damage and decreased arterial inflow will cause hypoxia and ultimately lead to programmed cell death resulting in penile shrinkage.
