My husband was prescribed 5 mg Cialis couple of mos before surgery and 20 mg after for rehabilitation. We never asked for "how long" since it is really helping with blood flow in that area (visibly) and it also solved blood pressure issue for my husband - BP is now ideal 😎👍. He has 2 problems solved with one pill a day and he is happy with that. Penile health is important regardless of sex , one has to prevent atrophy which can effect continence also. Pump can be helpful and it is advisable to use it - also promotes blood flow and elongation of urethra but has to be used very soon after surgery to prevent scar tissue formation and shortening. My husband is not using it regularly since Cilais is doing a good job. Maybe it is not causing full effect but it is "effecting it" enough for rehabilitation. In his case Cialis is really very helpful and he intends to be on it as long as needed.

PS: Peter, if you decide to use pump, start slowly and never to the point that is causes any kind of pain or discomfort. You do not need to "inflate" to the max to have positive effect. The idea is to do gentle stretching of the tissue and at the same time improving a blood-flow. Do not go above what your normal erection looked like. Our understanding is that you basically pump it, keep it pumped for short time (couple of minutes), "deflate", than pump again, deflate - about 3 times so fresh blood "comes and goes". Rehab is different than using a pump for sustained erection for intercourse. There are also some good youtube instructions.

@surftohealth88 Thanks for that. I keep forgetting to use it. It's still strange getting used to the "new normal". I sometimes forget I have the AUS pump, too. This damn cancer has changed our lives & routines so much.

@surftohealth88 That information about using the pump for rehab and not just intercourse is really helpful! I am recovering with a care team from a nationally recognized cancer center and no one ever mentioned anything like this. Thank God for this forum.

May I ask where or who you consult to get such solid advice? I want to be sure that my recovery/rehab is as productive as can be. Thanks!
