radical prostatectomy

Post a new topicby larrytp on Sat Sep 01, 2007 11:58 am

Had radical prostatectomy on May 10. Everything went well. Cancer had not invaded borders etc. Nothing in lymph nodes. I have full control of my bladder etc. Okay---unable to acieve erections. I understand this takes some time. Have taken Levitra--nothing. Started Cialis the other day. Nothing. Doc told me I have low testosterone but becuase of the cancer I cannot get testosterone. Does anyone have any ideas here. Is there something natural you can take. Or is it possible I am permanently neutered. Am I being overanxious?

It can take up to 6 months and sometimes a year to see erections after radial prostatectomy. You could try the vacuum pump, I have had some success treating patients like yourself using MUSE 1000mcg and Viagra 100mg in combination, good luck

I had my surgery two years ago, and understand how you feel. I also experience problems in that area. I have tried Levitra/ Cialis/ now Viagra. I can say that I can achieve a somewhat of an erection, and can achieve the end results. You cannot be spontanious anymore, but it works?
