It may take some time before you know whether or not the surgery affected your sexual functioning, but you definitely have the potential to resume full sexual function so don't wait. Meet with an experienced doctor about these concerns. While some doctors may tell you to simply wait and see, other doctors experienced in sexual medicine may offer you options soon after surgery which help 'prevent' sexual problems from developing. If you discover that you do indeed have erectile dysfunction as a result of prostate surgery, successful treatment to help you achieve strong erections is certainly possible. In most cases the self injection therapy gives the best results. Other things to consider before you undergo prostate cancer surgery are: the type of surgery you are offered (there are nerve-sparing techniques available) and the experience of your surgeon. These factors will affect your erectile health post-surgery.
