TRUTH Can't hold a hard-on after Prostatectomy
So I'm 6 months out from having my Prostatectomy, and I can't get a hard-on even taking Cialis. I'm 66. The little fella won't rise to the occasion. At this age, I'm just happy to be cancer-free! Just sharing.

Hi,
Give it some time, I couldn’t at 6 mo. either. It took me about a 1.5 yrs. to get a “usable” member. Hopefully with enough stimulation and viagra or cialis things will change. Get the blood down in that area by any means. Some videos on Youtube even suggest various pelvic floor area exercises will help. Good luck…….

Dirt guy, I understand also, as I am older also. I start to masturbate and my penis does not get as hard or long. Then when I finally reach an orgasm my semen about is far less. One fellow said YouTube for advice. A friend of mind started using live cam with other guys comparing and stroking together. We all eventually did come together with a lot of semen. How about you?

What am I missing here? There is no semen after Prostate removal. The Prostate makes the fluid and when the Vas Deferens are removed during the Prostatectomy there is no way for sperm to travel to the urethra.

Dirtclods…I'm 60 and five months post op. Still no activity in terms of erections either. Have tried Cialis…have tried Viagra. Neither have helped at all. My Dr told me in 3 months we'd consider the injections and said most of his patients don't have much success with the pumps.
Honestly, for me, I'm like you and happy to be alive and cancer free so if a hard on is what I have to give up in return that is a pretty small trade off. I'd pretty much accepted that I was getting past my sexual prime before my cancer was even diagnosed but I still have plenty of vivid memories from my experiences in the past :)

Hi,
There is a over the counter cream called Eroxon that is supposed to work, never tried it but it might be worth a look see. Good attitude on being a survivor. That live cam thing that Jackwest was talking about seems kinda weird to me.

Hey men, anything to help in the erection and hardon area after prostate cancer helps. I don't care what it takes. Getting the blood to the muscle and having any improved ejaculation and semen flow is certainly welcome. What works for you should be shared to help all of us. Thanks!
