Why the wheel?

Why the wheel?

How does this plastic contraption help with penile health?

Great question! Let's dive in.

The male penis is made of spongy tissue. Inside and amongst this tissue is (are?) several sinusoidal spaces. These are the spaces that expand and fill with blood during arousal. 

When you're aroused (physically, psychologically, or both), your parasympathetic nervous system sends a signal to release nitric oxide (NO) in the endothelial cells inside the blood vessels of the penis. 

Nitric oxide relaxes the smooth muscle in the walls of the penile arteries and erectile tissues, which allows blood to flow in to your penis. The sinusoidal spaces then expand and trap blood, increasing pressure and causing rigidity.

To keep the rigid shape, venous outflow (blood leaving the penis) is restricted. The engorged tissues compress the veins, making sure blood stays within the penis to maintain the erection.

All that to say.. there are several important factors at play here!

  • Arterial Health
  • Venous Health (Blood Retention)
  • Capillary Bed Development
  • Tissue Health and Integrity
  • Nitric Oxide Production & Recruitment
  • Mind-body Connection (Psych and Neurological)
  • Physical Conditioning and Fitness
  • Nutritional Deficiencies and Toxicities

The wheel helps with the bullet points in red... Vascu. 

The blog and principles help with the points in green.. Vive.

PS.. Check out this article for more information on the arterial inflow (blood into the penis) and venous outflow (blood exiting the penis).

 

Okay.. I'm listening. How do you use the wheel?

Simply put, you lay on your back with the glans (head) of your member pointing up towards your face. Some call this a "texas tuck", if you were to point it up into the waistband of your pants.

You then spin the wheel so that the rollers run along the underside of your member, your "Corpus Spongiosum". This is the triangular shaped soft part underneath your member. The wheels press on the Bulbourethral artery and move blood up through the glans, and back out of the member. It's like lifting a dumbbell, but instead of working out a muscle, you're working out an organ.

Wow. Right on! Scientifically.. What can I expect to happen?

Angiogenesis (New Blood Vessel Formation)

  • By stimulating blood flow and applying shear stress (via increased blood flow) to endothelial cells, the wheel promotes "angiogenesis". This process:
    • Improves circulation by increasing the number of functional capillaries.
    • Enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
    • Supports long-term vascular health and adaptability.

Enhanced Blood Flow and Circulation

  • The mechanical stimulation increases blood flow through the arteries and capillary networks, creating immediate benefits:
    • Improves tissue oxygenation and nutrient delivery.
    • Helps flush out waste products like carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
    • Increases nitric oxide production, which aids in vasodilation and vascular flexibility.

Shear Stress for Endothelial Health

  • The wheel applies shear stress, a key stimulus for:
    • Strengthening endothelial cells.
    • Triggering the release of nitric oxide, a critical molecule for maintaining vascular tone and reducing inflammation.
    • Enhancing blood vessel elasticity and preventing vascular stiffness.

Capillary Recruitment

  • The increased blood flow opens underused or dormant capillaries, maximizing the tissue's ability to absorb nutrients and remove waste. This contributes to:
    • Improved erectile function by optimizing blood delivery.
    • Greater resilience in vascular tissues over time.

Stimulation of Tissue Remodeling

  • Repeated use encourages vascular and penile tissue remodeling:
    • Supports better blood retention during erections (important for rigidity).
    • May reduce fibrosis in tissues prone to Peyronie’s disease or similar issues. See here for more information on Peyronie's, specifically.

Hormonal and Systemic Benefits

  • The improved circulation and oxygenation can have systemic effects:
    • May help regulate testosterone levels by improving overall health and reducing vascular resistance.
    • Boosts energy and vitality through enhanced oxygen transport to tissues.
    • Supports mental clarity and overall well-being.

Long-Term Preventive Health

  • Consistent and safe use of VascuVive could prevent vascular-related issues by:
    • Reducing the risk of arterial blockages.
    • Helping maintain vascular elasticity and resilience as men age.

 


So whatever brings you here, you'll see that the benefits of the wheel extend far beyond just PE, addressing:

  • Immediate blood flow enhancement.
  • Long-term vascular health.
  • Tissue remodeling.
  • Systemic wellness and vitality.

The wheel and VascuVive research is your holistic solution for men's health, brining your short-term improvements and helping you reach your long-term goals.
