@daveinflorida The risk of sperm production issues varies depending on the type and extent of treatment, the patient's age, and other factors. Of the people I have had discussions about this issue, who have had radiation, few have had total lack of sperm production. Many have had recovery periods for erections and orgasms with sperm. Some have talked about dry orgasms but that, anecdotally, seemed to be more when people have had their prostate removed. Obviously, that’s a layman’s answer but your doctor may be of more help. I can say that I did have my whole prostate treated plus 2 mm margins and that my orgasms with sperm diminished but did not disappear.

I did not have surgery just 30 rounds of proton radiation on entire prostrate and margins.

I refrainedfrom sexual relations for many months after treatment ended. But first one dry orgasm. Really frighten me. Asked the question on MCC and was told common side affect for many.

Went to my R/O and said the radiation can damage the vessels and this can occur for many.
