Post-Prostatectomy ED – Straight Up
Erectile dysfunction (ED) after prostate surgery is common — but it’s not always permanent. Around 8 in 10 men experience difficulty getting or keeping erections in the months following surgery. The reason is anatomical: the prostate sits right next to the nerves and blood vessels responsible for erections. Even with advanced “nerve-sparing” surgical techniques, these delicate structures can be stretched, bruised, or temporarily switched off during the procedure, leading to reduced sensitivity and blood flow.
This type of ED differs from age-related ED. It’s usually a direct result of surgery, but recovery is possible with the right care. Improvement often happens gradually, over several months to a few years. Early intervention — including medication, blood flow support, and structured penile rehabilitation — can significantly improve outcomes and shorten recovery time.
Why it matters: Sexual health is an essential part of overall wellbeing. Addressing ED after prostatectomy isn’t just about restoring erections; it’s about protecting intimacy, confidence, and long-term penile health — helping men feel whole and connected again.
Signs and Symptoms – When to Get Checked
Erectile dysfunction (ED) after prostate surgery can show up in specific ways. Erections may be weaker or shorter-lasting than before surgery, and some men experience dry orgasms — climax without ejaculation. It can also lower libido or confidence, as ED affects desire as well as performance. These changes are common during recovery and often improve over time with the right support.
It is important to seek help early, as structured penile rehabilitation and medical guidance can aid recovery and protect long-term function. However, certain symptoms are not typical of post-surgery ED and require urgent medical review.
Seek immediate attention if you experience severe or persistent pain in the penis or pelvis, visible deformity or curvature that develops quickly, or unexplained bleeding or discharge. These signs may indicate a complication that needs prompt assessment and treatment.
