How long do side effects from prostate radiation last?

I was under the impression that radiation treats the entire prostate and if so how do you have any semen production at all?

I was told by my R/O if you have your entire prostate treatment along with margins you are doing to radiate the seminal vessels and just like the uretha you can damage them. Everyone is different and their outcomes unquie to them but yes the seminal vessels can really limit the amount of semen ejacualte. The prostrate makes seminal fuid not semen but again since damage agains affects amount of fluid made.
Thus again everyone is different including the radiation and how the body readted to it. But I personally had little side affect to urninary fuction but dry orgasms that continue and I am at 1.5 years after radiation treatments stopped. I was told may not get better.
