Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction is a common issue for many men as they age. Erectile Dysfunction post prostatectomy has a high prevalence, but there are many treatment options available. A number of factors contribute to erectile function recovery post prostatectomy. Patient factors such as age, baseline erectile function and comorbidities such as diabetes have an impact on erectile function outcomes. The location and size of the prostate cancer along with surgical technique can also impact on erectile function outcomes.
