Prostate Removal and Erectile Dysfunction Question:
I have just had my prostate removed, will supplements or erectile dysfunction pills like Viagra or Cialis help to have an erection?
DOCTOR ALSAYES ANSWER:
Hi David,
Usually, it takes 12 weeks – up to 6 months for complete recovery of your natural erections after the surgery, but that can depend on many factors, such your age, your overall health status.
Usually, we start with oral medications (such as Viagra) if the natural erection doesn’t recover on its own, but these medications don’t work well for every case, thus 2nd choice we may try is injections (such as Bi-Mix and Tri-Mix).
If your nerves were spread during your prostatectomy you should talk to your doctor about starting injections like; Bi-Mix and Tri-Mix.
I hope this answers your question.
