I’m at 9 months now. Vacuret has been a big help.
Penile injections after 6 months and I’m beginning to have night erections 😀. I reckon by month 12 I should be back to normal
Thank you for sharing how you're going, Anthony! Well done on finding strategies that are working for you 👍 so glad to hear you've found the Vacurect helpful
How old are at the time of operation ?
@@iainbrown4945 59 years old it’s now 3 years and am fully functional and I still use the vacuret for exercise not for sex.
@@ATouchySubject please help me I underwent cystoscopy ten days ago but there is no erection after that please help me how to resolve this problem

I'm 49 yrs old and today is my 4 yr anniversary of my prostectomy. I'm very fit, all blood levels in check and I'm still having real issues with ED and it's beyond depressing. I can't even begin to describe the level of mind fuck this has had.

Great info Victoria, Thanks.
Thank you Victoria for the help and hope you are providing to so many of us. I am at 11 months and struggling to come to grips with ED and move forward with a plan. I guess I was just hoping that EF would magically come back.
Thank you for your comment Young Timer (love the username!), I am pleased to hear the resources are helping you. I know a lot of men hope that EF will just magically return, however, there are many positive steps you can take to optimise your recovery, prevent further problems and have a lot of fun in the meantime - so no need to just wait and see! Best of luck creating your plan to move forward, please feel free to reach out with any questions.
7 weeks post op. I was taking cialis daily 5 mg, 2 weeks preop and 5 weeks post op. I have night erections. Engorgement regularly. I use vacurect and started injections 3 times per week 1 week ago. All good. Having sex with injections. After 2 weeks I was 100 percent continent. Keegles exercises religiously. So nice to have you and your encouragement. You offer valid scientific info and reassurance. It is much appreciated.
Congratulations on your speedy recovery and diligent rehab Bob! I'm very pleased to hear you're finding the Touchy Subject resources helpful
but were my cum
I just passed 6 months. Cialis gives me wicked heartburn, so I've been struggling with that. My erections are nothing like they were pre-cancer, obviously, but it does get bigger, almost as large as before, and it's nearly enough for penetration. Your comment regarding "takes up to two years for nerves to recover" was very helpful. I am having pain after orgasm in the form of a "sharp ache??" if that makes any sense. Wife and I are working on it a couple times a week, and while progress is very slow, there is progress. Hang in there guys..... pun intended.
BTW: Im 61, healthy non-smoker, with good BMI. I was 4+3 Gleason in February 2021, surgery April 19 2021. Urinary leakage is 99% gone. My surgery was Lap. RARP.
HI Dale thanks for your comment we are so pleased to hear you have found this resource vauable!
I have been on Cialis for the last six months after surgery. So far, no side effects or benefits
I'm 73, had a radical prostatectomy when I was 65. Tried the meds no benefit. Injections worked but the pain in the penis was so intense I couldn't even touch my penis let alone use it. After 2 years post op I asked my GP about a penile prosthesis. I was referred to a specialist and 2 months later I was operated on. I can only say wow! I have had it several years now. No issues only pleasure. My partner is more than happy. No pills no doubt only erections when I want them. I have to say all my medical procedures were performed by the national health in Australia and cost me nothing. The strange thing is the hospital that performed the prostatectomy would not perform the prosthesis operation as it was against their religion (catholic). Thank you Australia.
Im post surgery almost 6 months and nothing, even 100 mg of viagra does nothing. I am 55 and this is not a good situation. Drs say that natural erections etc are best but do I want to be years like this waiting to see if it happens? Also no one here even mentions recurrence which even if you make natural progress you may return to square 1 with more treatment. Either wy nothing will ever be as it was before, so erections on demand frankly doesnt sound like a bad thing..Your post was very helpful, thank you.
@@nelsonoliva2119 Good luck on your journey, but remember to at least use a pump to get the penis active again. If you do nothing the penis will shrink. I lost an inch in the period before the operation to when I got the implant. I think that was 18 months or so. I tried everything. Very happy with the inflatable implant
@@andrewcumming6319 thank you for your response. I have been using a penis pump regularly for that very purpose pretty much since the surgery. it works well but of course penis deflates after I remove it but it does stretch etc. Ive actually noticed a significant decrease of at least an inch while flacid , whoch I hope either changes naturally if i get natural erections back or will change with the pump if I go that route. thanks again for your input sir, this is a lonely and strange path we are on.
I am 14 months post-op. I have found your information very helpful as my urologist provided no rehabilitation suggestions.
I have been using a vacuum pump for 2 months and a Manta vibrator for 6 weeks. I plan to begin promix injections twice a week.
In your research, have you found that a daily 5mg dose of Cialis would help?
Thank you for your comment Malcolm, and that is a great question! From that I've read the research for daily cialis is ongoing and not conclusive at this stage, I suggest you check out this podcast interview with Professor Montorsi (key penile rehab researcher) to understand the concept behind PDE5s within rehab and whether you want to pursue it as part of your own regime: www.atouchysubject.com/viagra-after-prostatectomy
Mine has lasted 10 years. Thank you mass general hospital, for screwing up my prostate cancer surgery
So sorry to hear this!
Bastards
What country are you from May I ask?
@@daveyboy6985 I googled it and I think it is in Boston USA - Massachusetts General Hospital
@@TheKnuckle55 thanks for your reply.
Prostatectomy in 1996. Nothing has worked. 24 years. I would take back my cancer-addled prostate in a New York minute! Sucketh.
So sorry to hear this!
So sorry to hear of yet another victim! A Radical Prostatectomy by any means is not a cure! it's a sacrifice!! Men deserve better!! Quality of life matters!!!
@@paulasusan63 Thank you.
Sorry so Just hang in their. It’s a year for me and nothing work and then a slight rise. I all but given up. I do Martial Arts to get over my ED. I practice at age 72, 45 mins aggressive workout followed raising my heart rate then top it off with Standing Gigong for 30 mins. Maybe it’s help. Previous to that the prostate surgery resulted in a Hernia and I develop damaged nerve making muscles hurt and my knee was a mess. I have never given up so I did lots of physical therapy workout. My knee is only 80% but at least it’s progress.
I don’t expect a great erection cause it was a problem before the surgery
So life goes on. At least tried one more erection before surgery. It’s only memories now
1995 my dad past away from this shit cancer now my turn I had my RALP almost 3 months now and I feel like sometimes I have my ED but not hard but as long as I will survive is the matter for me.
Five years, and I've had to accept the fact that it's not coming back.
My erectal was normal after my operation in 2010 but in 2020 I went for Radiation treatment now I'm fully ED its already 3 years now what do I do to enjoy life again as a man cialis and Viagra doesn't work for me
So the answer is…. That there is no (set) answer. Good video, none the less, by a lovely presenter.
Hi Alan, that is correct, the recovery timeframes for erections really differ for everybody! So pleased you found this video helpful
Am really interested in Uberlube in it's lasting power, feel, and less sticky nature. Can I use it with the Vacurect device without a material compatibility problem?
Hi Marl, thanks for your comment, you might found our lubricant guide helpful: www.atouchysubject.com/lubricant
wow thank you
Hi Nathan, your welcome!
I am74 and had surgery and May will be 2 years and I am still DEAD though Nitric Oxide has helped a little.
Hi Alan, thanks for your comment and sharing a bit about where you at. You may like to check out our free penile rehab prgoram here: www.atouchysubject.com/help-for-ed-post-prostate-surgery
In other words, it really depends on how good your surgeon / post-operative care is, and your general health at the time of the surgery. If you're an 80 year old obese diabetic, you're probably looking at waiting a long time before a cereal bowl full of Cialis will give you a semi.
Very well put - everyone has a different journey needing different strategies depending on their unique situation.
Does jelqing really works with evidences?
Hi Mark, it also depends what you mean by 'works' firstly, I don't believe there are any scientific studies on jelqing at this point
Hi I'm lee I've had radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy and hormone therapy I've been told my erection will never return

It's been over 10 years. I'll let you know when it works again.
Uh huh. I just went through surgery. I didn’t need to hear that. Joking aside, I already know it’s life changing. All we can do face it best we can.
How old are you? I understand that you can't get hard or ejaculate but can you orgasm flaccid without ejaculating fluid? I'm very curious
Thank you for your comment Mark. We’ve heard from many men who have had this experience , you are not alone. We hope you find some ideas on our channel to move forward with.
one year and making some progress.
Hi Brian thank you for your comment. That is fantastic! All the best for your ongoing recovery :)
It’s almost a year after my prostate I was surprise a very small erection ---> useless but their hope. --.> HARD TO See any great progress. Maybe my Martial Arts I do 45 mins of extreme cardio punching in the air 600+ then followed by Qigong for 30 mins everyday. I think it’s why I see some success. heeeeheeeeee I am 72 and before surgery I was already having problems. So any success will be not too good.
Hi William, thank you for sharing, I bet that exercise is serving you very well (more videos about the positive impact of cardio and ED recovery on my channel), it could be worth investigating what might have been the underlying cause of ED before your surgery too as part of the recovery equation. Best of luck!
How about recovering an erection after hormone treatment? Non surgical but radiation.

I'm 63 years old. Just marked 1 year after RARP. I take 25mg of tadalafil every day and an extra 75mg when having sex. I am successful in achieving orgasm with a partner during intercourse one in five times only. I masterbate everyother day on average. I wonder if the frequency of masterbation is causing the difficulty achieving orgasm during intercourse. Anything else should I be doing? I appreciate your advice.
Not "tenting" the sheets?!? Why would you think its okay or perhaps funny to put it this way? Pretty insensitive for someone who says she has studied this.
Hi there thanks for your comment, we appreciate you sharing your feedback.
@@ATouchySubject Bot response
Do the restriction rings prevent semen from discharging?
Hi Joe, great question, they can do depending on the tightness
@@ATouchySubject What semen? Your prostate is gone! Doesn't that eliminate the possibility of semen being produced?
@@freevet1 yes it does. No prostate, no seman.
"Tenting the sheet" 😂😂🤣.
