Removing the prostate gland easily causes impotence

The removal of a diseased prostate can easily cause nerves to create an erection of the penis, causing impotence. However, doctors can remedy this situation.

Most prostate surgery patients are over 50 years old; 3/4 of them still have sexual activity. Before surgery, the doctor will explain to patients that they still have many chances of normal sexual activity (erection penis) after a while and although what happens, there are still effective treatments. Help them recover that ability.

In principle, this surgery interferes with the 'nerve vascular' that creates an erection of the penis, located along the body of the prostate gland, thereby causing impotence. But today, it has been found that even when respecting these nerves, impotence can still occur because the nervous system surrounding the prostate gland is removed. This system participates in the erection of the penis by bringing blood into the caverns.

The important nervous system mentioned above may gradually recover after 18-24 months. However, once the prostate tumor is large, the surgeon is forced to cut it off to a large extent without being able to keep those nerve vessels.

Immediately after the prostate is removed, no matter how wide the incision is, the patient is also advised to inject vasodilators into the cavernous cavity of the penis to expand the small arteries here. Less than 10 minutes after injection, the penis will erect. This erection can last from 10 to 60 minutes, so sex will be normal.

Patients who have early surgery need to be injected twice a week for 6 months to 1 year to completely recover the erection immediately. If you don't get enough, you can take Viagra to help. The rate of recovery of sexual function is 60-70%. In patients with fairly wide sections, the possibility of an erection is often lost permanently; they have to inject drugs into the cavernous body before each sexual intercourse
