ED before prostate removal

[rob222]

Did any of you suffer from ED before surgery. I suffered some and after diagnosis, I could not get an erection. The doctor said it was probably psychological, etc.

So, you had some ED before surgery. and right after you were diagnosed with PCa your ED got worse? I think it was certainly made worse with the DX and for good reason. That diagnosis scares to the roots of our sexuality. It is also sort of like the 'enemy within'. Time will help that...acceptance and coming to terms usually sort things out. If you are still feeling overwhelmed by it all, certainly get a therapist. Taking care of emotional health is just as important as physical.

did Viagra help? Many guys take viagra just as a confidence booster. there's nothing wrong with that. If you can go on a sex-acation, as one guy put it, that might do wonders. buy some sex toys, pack up your S.O. and get a hotel room with a hot tub. How are your masturbation sessions going? Take care of yourself by finding some time for yourself. Love yourself and love your body and love you penis. PCa robs us of a lot. Fight to maintain your sexuality and your sense of being a sexual person. It's hard, but worth it.
