hi all
i had robotic protectomy with nerve sparing on one side last April and all went well. I can get an erection but more sustainable with help of a pill. The thing is the intensity of my orgasm has deteriorated over time. Whilst I get the tensing in my body the sensation in my penis is negligible. I have also been circumcised so my nerve in the end of my penis are exposed and less sensitive
Is is it the protectomy that is causing the issue or my circumcision or something else.
i appreciate I have been very lucky having few symptoms but would like to know if anyone else has suffered a similar problem. Age 56.
Hi Mike,
As far as I can see men get het up and focused on the prodigious size of their *en*s and their balls. They never give a thought to their prostate. Yet the power comes from the prostate.
Sad to say PCa messes up our powerhouse, as do surgery, radioactive seeds, and external radiation and hormone therapy closes the whole set down. If we do well we are left with some crumbs. So make the best of the crumbs and be happy. Treatment keeps us out of the graveyard.
Hi Mike,
An update. Now I have had no catheter for a couple of weeks the swellings around the catheter now turn out to be useful erections. There is very little libido, often none. I have managed a couple of orgasms. They are hardly worthy of the name. The first was recognisable as the remnants of one. The second had more of general body spasms and some faint efforts in the prostate but no feeling of ejaculation and no ejaculate. Mmm was this worth the effort? Perhaps in so far as curiosity is served. In terms of pleasure, probably not. If this was all men got the human race would have died out long ago.
Hi
had robotic radical surgery four years ago, the nerves were removed from one side. I have never fully recovered. Have tried the usual pills,partially successful but not anywhere near as good as before. Hope you deal with this better than me. I just shut down and gave up trying. My wife dispares at the loss of our intimacy. It is difficult to deal with and very depressing. Try and deal with it together I know I should be happy to be alive but at 55 it was a big part of my life. I can tell you that in most cases unless all your nerves were spared you will probably never regain full function. Try and deal with it togeather
