ED after prostatectomy? Any first hand experiences overcoming it?

Take the daily 5mg Cialis! I was given an RX but ZERO instructions on why so I never used it. I had read that if your erections were strong before surgery you would have a good chance of a complete sexual recovery….NOT!!! The cialis would have definitely helped in retrospect.
In fact I have not had any success 5 yrs post op with any oral meds. My Uro suggested TriMix but then recurrence reared its ugly head and I am now on ADT prior to radiation.
Don’t know if I’ll even care about erections after all this but time will tell. Gonna be 70 soon and honestly the urges just aren’t what they once were anyway. Best to all

So sorry that you weren’t told why to take Cialis! That sucks. It might have made a difference. I tried daily Cialis after surgery but discontinued it after the side effects bothered me too much. I was told to try manual stimulation with or without a partner to wake things up and there were and continue to be some signs of life there.

Sorry that you’ve got recurrence. I am on ADT and still have some libido although it isn’t what it used to be. I take BIMIX injections as part of penile rehabilitation and can achieve an erection suitable for intercourse.

If recovering sexual health matters to you NEVER GIVE UP!
