You say you have a low high risk; which is it? What is your Gleason score? Active surveillance may be an option. Erectile Dysfunction is a real possibility. Read the literature; go to reliable websites like pcf.org

Begin with the book Surviving Prostate Cancer by Patrick Walsh MD.
Many men on this site have reported their experiences, and side effects, with different treatments, primarily Prostatectomy vs Radiation & Hormone Therapy (ADT).
Seek experienced physicians.
Focus on your treatment and recovery, and all will work out with a supportive partner.
