Title: How much pressure in hg should ved be used?
Post by: RedWilly on November 14, 2017, 12:39:46 PM
How much pressure should we be using?

can't seem to get erect in the device at less than around 7hg.

Is that too much pressure?

For one a pressure of 7hg will be fine, for other one a disaster.
You should pump to the level that you have no pain or discomfort.
You intend to use the VED to get an erection for intercourse, or for Peyronies treatment?

For treatment as I stated in my previous post:
You should pump to the level that you have no pain or discomfort not connected to the actual pressure.

The number on the gauge is not what should tell you.  Your penis should tell you.  A tiny bit of discomfort is ok, but there should be NO PAIN introduced, as that will simply add injury to injury and stimulate additional scarring.  The key is pump it up, hold briefly, let it down.  Caution must be used or things only get worse.

If you somehow get additional scarring, is there a way it can go away on it's own?

Sometimes the scarring resolves itself, but that is uncommon.  Additional injury is what you want to avoid, as injury is what starts the scarring in many cases.  Sometimes the fibrosis is spontaneous, but I believe that an injury is perceived at the tissue level even if it isn't something noticeable to our consciousness.  Something is triggering the development of scar tissue, which is a "healing" response of tissue.  You just don't want to cause more while trying to remediate scarring to begin with.
