Question for prostatectomy patients
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2012 12:01 am
*Edit
I have now been diagnosed with an autonomous nerve injury by way of a Wiest CC-EMG. This kind of nerve injury is the reason for post-prostatectomy ED and shrinkage.
The question has changed to one about shrinkage:
how long does it go on and how much is it in total? girth/length
What was your penis like after surgery? Was it a normal flaccid or had it changed?
How long has it been since surgery and can you get an erection?

Hello guys
I inflicted damage on myself trying to stretch my penis one night and since then the front half of my penis has not been functional. I believe that I have damaged my cavernosal nerves, the same nerves which are often damaged during prostatectomy. The difference is that my damage (still speculative) is inside the penis where prostatectomy damages the nerve at a point in outside the penis.
I would like to ask you a few questions:
How much of the cavernous nerves was spared in your surgery?
What was your erectile response like after surgery?
What was your penis like after surgery? Was it a normal flaccid or had it changed?
Would you ever feel the inside of your penis turn hard in its flaccid state?
Was your glans dry?
What's your erectile response like now and how long has it been?
How much shrinkage have you had?
I ask because I have this symptom of the flaccid penis getting hard and I wonder if it's a sign that there is still some nerve connection.
Thanks for your response
