Hello, I had my prostate out 4 years ago undetectable PSA. critical you have a VERY experienced surgeon as I did at UCLA. Only real issue was experiencing dry ejaculations. I also had complete nerve sparing both sides. Sexually I was very satisfied.
Unfortunately I did develop non invasive Blad CA. and after going thru 3 TURBTs and 15 BCG treatments had my bladder removed march 2017. Non invasive, clean ct 4 months later. However sexually the jury is still out. Have libido but have not take Cialis or V yet. I never smoked, work out daily and was skiing 6 weeks after my Blad surgery. Keys are:
1. Major medical center
2. highly experienced surgical team
3. get in as good of condition prior to your surgery as possible
4. seek out others to share with
5. consider practicing mindfulness

good luck

I have been having trouble obtaining and maintaining an erection since being diagnosed. I was diagnosed in February 2016. I have been under going BCG and have had 4 surgeries. I am wondering if anyone has experienced problems with sexual dysfunction during this time?
