Constriction rings: Understanding their use in enhancing intimacy
– A constriction ring, also known as a cock ring, is an elastic ring used to maintain an erection.
– The ring should be worn at the base of the penis to keep blood inside.
– It is often used in combination with a vacuum erection device (VED).
– The ring should not be worn for longer than 30 minutes to avoid permanent injury.
– Leaving the ring on for too long can cause necrosis and potentially lead to the amputation of the penis.
– If a man experiences pain, numbness, or coldness in the penis, or if it becomes swollen and the ring cannot be removed, immediate medical attention should be sought.
– Metal rings should be avoided.
– Constriction rings help increase pleasure during sexual intercourse by maintaining blood flow to the penis and sustaining an erection.
– Different types of rings are available, but there are reasons to avoid using them for erectile dysfunction (ED).
– The FDA recommends using constriction rings for no more than 30 minutes at a time to prevent lasting damage.
– Using these rings may worsen Peyronie’s disease, which causes the penis to curve due to scar tissue.
– Constriction rings are not considered a long-term solution for treating ED.
– Some types of cock rings can be heavy and cause nerve damage.
– Cock rings may not be effective for severe Peyronie’s disease.
– Vibrating cock rings can worsen priapism, a prolonged erection requiring medical intervention.
– Wearing ED rings can cause bruising, swelling, and visible bruises on the penis.
– Ill-fitting constricting devices can lead to penile strangulation, a medical emergency with severe injuries.
– Improperly cleaned cock rings can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
– Clinically-approved methods and lifestyle changes can help treat erectile dysfunction.
– Premier Men’s Medical Center in Orlando is a clinic offering clinically approved treatments for ED and premature ejaculation, including penis rings, Acoustic Wave therapy, and hormone therapy.
