I have started using this clamping routine. One of the issues I had with Clamping or pumping was right under the glands I would always get a vein that would balloon out. I don’t know if there would be any chance of this vein rupturing or not. I have a limited knowledge of the vasculatory system, but what I do know is that veins get smaller towards there endings and branch out into capilaries. Large pressure in the veins forced into the capilaries couldn’t be very good, particularly where the veins meet the glands.
So what I have been doing with clamping and pumping is using a self adhesive wrap that is an inch wide and wrapping the glands down to about the middle of my circ scar. This keeps the glands and the smaller veins and capilaries protected. I feel like I can apply more pressure with this support in place and i’m not nearly as afraid of blowing a vein anymore.
You can secure the wrap with a small piece of velcro after the wrap stops wanting to stick to itself anymore.
