Had prostatectomy 3 months ago. 53 years old. No incontinence at all and life coming back in the old fella. Dont listen to people who say dont do it! Its no fun but your life is worth more.
I am now 5 years post RP surgery. I lost one nerve and did 100mg of Sildenafil daily for 10 months before I got a useable erection. All up i did that for 18 months daily. Very interesting clip thanks for sharing.
Nice to see a male doctor talking about this subject ! Most on RUclips are females talking about this ! I would never go to a female doctor for help on this subject !
This is a common theme I keep running into. Many of the guys that reach out said finding someone to talk to about all this who is a male was incredibly hard to come across
I had a full erection the morning after surgery with catheter pipes still in! Three weeks of peeing blood no incontinence, week five pretty much back to normal little stinging still when peeing very happy with progress so far 👍
Had surgery 10years ago. Before my wife died 2years ago I couldn't get a hardon. Zero ejaculation. Tried it a couple of times afterwards. Nothing worked. Little with cellus. Never really hard. I got frustrated. She wasn't into it. I'm gun shy now. I'm 69. Used to be strong and powerful. It's a very demeaning feeling. The guys that said they would rather talk to a guy, rather than a woman. For me I disagree. It's nice what a woman thinks and to pleasurable to them.
So sorry to hear about your wife passing. And you’re right some people prefer talking to a woman whereas others prefer talking to another guy- it’s preference really. I do know of some who have gotten erections even a decade after this surgery, given though that they had a nerve sparing technique.
I had almost zero erection for the first 5 months but still pleasured myself almost daily. After 8 months I am about 80% back to my original erection. Don't give up. Make sure to stimulate yourself regulary to speed things along.
I use tadalafil 5 mg daily, vit B complex, some other aphrodisiacs. Weight control, exercise, kegel exercises, not smoking is paramount. I find it quite strange how little men know about their bodies and specifically, penisses!
I had my radical prostatectomy 2.5 years back, but still no erection. I used ceilus, vacuum pump but useless. I do have dry orgasm with out erection. What to do?
If you had the surgery, I hope it went well and that you are recovering bit by bit. For me, I took the advice of my doctor who told me the radical prostatectomy was the best chance of getting permanently rid of the cancer.
I had it done on Sept 13 2023 at 60 yrs old with Stage 2 cancer and no regrets.. I get half an erection and Orgasms are So much Better and deeper than I ever imagined. Get a vacuum device and work it and remember, Use it or lose it.
This is something we recommend to most patients as well. The body naturally had night time erections which allow for the penis to expand with blood flow. If you’re not getting those then a penis pump or vaccuum device works wonders to engorge the penis with blood flow
Dr. Im 13 months out from nerve sparing RP. The pills do nothing so far. I successfully use aprostadil to achieve an erection once a week to keep the muscles working. Another issue I have is that I still leak. I wear about 2 pads a day. Do you have an opinion on kegel chair machines to build the pelvic floor muscles? Thanks.
Hey Stephen, thanks for reaching out. Your story isn’t all that different from a lot of men I speak with. You mentioned that you can achieve an erection once a week to keep the muscles working, but do you ever use a penis pump? Also you mentioned that you still leak and are using 2 pads a day… are you doing kegel exercises to help? I know you asked specifically about kegel chair machines, but in my experience they just take your money and don’t actually provide the solution you are looking for.
@@AlineaPerformanceThank you doctor. I did purchase a penis pump from Amazon but that particular device was not the right one for me. Can you recommend a quality pump? I’m going to stop the kegel machine as I’ve not seen any Improvement. I also forgot to mention that I’ve gone for about 7 sessions of gain wave therapy and it has not helped me. I’ll be stopping that as well. Thanks for your comments. I perform about 60 kegels a day.
@@stephenhuvane707 the one, I have seen the best success with and typically recommend when people ask is amzn.to/3EkDc7t General recommendations and I'm not saying this is specific to you, but generally, we recommend 120 kegels per day with 60 being long endurance holds and 60 being quick flicks. essentially, it looks like you do a set of 10 kegels and hold for 10 seconds each, then follow that up with 10 quick flicks. Then repeat that every 2 hours or so for a total of 6 times daily. I've had great success with that in my practice.
Sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how frustrating that is. We’ve seen guys get erections even 10 years after prostate removal if they’ve had a nerve sparing technique.
I had TURB 4 days ago e today my penis got erected and I did him a favour… I spoke with my doctor and he told that masturbation is ok but avoid sex inter-course. Semen will be to little or nothing.
#1. Surgery isn’t the best option although it is pushed very hard. The possible side effects are horrid and overlooked by Dr.’s during the consultation. Bottom line is if they cut the main nerve you won’t ever get another erection.
@@PedroUR Radiotherapy is the best way to get rid prostate cancer if you want to avoid the worst side effects. This is usually combined with hormone therapy.
@@PedroUR I had Proton Therapy Treatment at Loma Linda 8 years ago. Every PSA test after that is .02 to .05.. I’ve referred friends there also who had given up. One said good by to me and said he had prostate cancer and there wasn’t anything to because he wasn’t going to have removal. He did the Proton Therapy like did. He’s fine. That was 3 years ago.
@@robertheinkel6225 It depends on where on the prostate the cancer is and it also depends on what type of radiotherapy you have. Some people have few side affects, everyone is different.
My radical prostatectomy was Dec 2014 and I still battle ED. I tried meds and injections with no success. I never had an issue obtaining an erection before the surgery. My doctor recommended an inflatable implant. What is your opinion on me taking that avenue?
@@AlineaPerformance my surgeon said she did everything she could to spare the nerve and she was quite certain that she was successful. Almost 8 years later now... I'm beginning to wonder.
These 'experts' appear to have all the answers, so tell me what I can do, EXPERTS! July 2020 I had radical prostatectomy surgery. Normally this takes between two and two half hours, correct me if I'm wrong, please. Mine was FIVE HOURS or thereabouts. Why you ask. Well it's like this.The surgeon "SPLIT my large bowell in the process" . Great job yeah!! NO! This required a SECOND surgeons presence to 'fix' the first error and I finished up with a "STOMA" with all the associated requirements for a period of FOUR months. That was reversed, successfully I might add. Since then I've not had ANY normalcy at all, none, nothing. Tablets do not work (tried them all), nothing. So all you so-called experts what can I do?????.
Hey there and sorry to hear about your experience. As for getting an erection post surgery there are a couple housekeeping things to note first. 1. Was it nerve sparing? If no, then will need external support; however most surgeries today are nerve sparing. 2. If nerve sparing then next stepping stone is COMPLETE continence. This means during activities, bending over, coughing, etc 3. If the first two are satisfied then time is a huge factor for nerve healing. Generally nerves take a year and up to 2. Weeks see most results around 6 months post. 4. Blood flow is the name of the game when it comes to erections. At first you can force it with a pump until they occur naturally. Other treatments such as shockwave are great for improving blood flow as well and how we’ve seen best results. Ultimately it’s a process. And most men have to go in order of above. So see which step you’re at and continue from there. Everyone is different of course but these are the steps we’ve seen best results with.
That is correct. Following a prostatectomy, you cannot ejaculate semen. This is because the prostate is responsible for producing semen which is the fluid that carries sperm. And sometimes the seminal vesicles are also removed leaving no pathway for the sperm to be ejaculated.
There is sex after, but I think every case is different. I had my cancer prostrate removed in 2012. My urologist said nothing will work because I was 68 years old at that time! Penile injections work!
Totally unexpected, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest in Mario's Thunderous Erections, it's so much simpler and potent now!
I know it can be frustrating. Especially at such a young age. A couple quick things 1. Was it a nerve sparing procedure? 2. do you feel your bladder getting fuller 3. And if you leak do you feel it when you leak?

Zero incontinence is impossible. It takes a few weeks to achieve that
