Post-surgery doctor visit: What questions to ask?

Ask Dr about PT.. physical therapy to help get bladder control back . And discuss getting erections back and do what dr says . U will be sore and not have any energy for months . I hope your PSA will be undetectable next test. Keep us informed on your progress and I will comment later on my journey..

@lee61, these are good questions for @anosmic1 to ask their surgeon after surgery.

Lee, did you have a prostectomy? I look forward to learning more about you and your journey with prostate cancer.

Hi Colleen . My journey. PSA went UP in 2018. I was 57. Prostate was robotically removed in 2019. Surgeon said bladder control and erections should return in 5-6 months. 1 year later no erections or bladder control so my dr said male sling would help so I had the surgery ..and still no bladder control. And the surgeon cut into a chamber of my penis, and sewed it up and scar tissue formed. And no erections at that time . And I had groin hernia fixed that year . And a lot of pain in genitals. In 2021 I had The AUS surgery and bladder control was better, but more groin/genital pain. In 2022 I has spermatic cord denervation for the pain but I still had more groin pain. And some partial erections but they were painful. So penile atrophy has set in without erections and a lot of pain, but PSA is undetectable. That is good news. So I have a new urology dr I see in a week. I Want to know what’s causing the pain. Nerve damage probably a dr said. So if you have any thoughts or any questions please reply .
