Prostate Surgery

With all the things the prostate does for you this male gland has a potentially significant down-side, if it swells too much or if it becomes stricken with cancer it can cause some major issues.

Prostate cancer effects one in six men while one in thirty-three will die from the disease. It is the second leading cause of cancer death after lung cancer.

If you have prostate cancer your possible treatment options include partial or complete removal of your prostate gland, but like all surgery their is risk. The post-operative effects can leave you unable to Ejaculate, and possibly result in Permanent Erectile Dysfunction.

The procedure

If it is deemed necessary to remove the prostate, then your urologist will have the most difficult surgery of them all to perform. Your pelvic region is very complex and requires precision and expertise in order for the operation to be successfully. Due to the intricate arrangement of the structures in the hips and penis the risk of damage to them or the nerve endings is high, and is the reason the surgery may leave you with erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence following surgery.

 

 

 

 

Post Operation

After prostate surgery your body will take a while to recover if at all, and prostate removal can impede blood circulation and damage nerves, which can cause pain and discomfort.

Further the extracting of the prostate and possibly the seminal vesicles will reduce how much you ejaculate , and in fact may cause you to be unable to ejaculate at all. This may cause you to cum dry also known as ‘retrograde ejaculation’, basically the semen that is normally ejected through the urethra gets redirected into the bladder. As a result of this your urine will be cloudy and you will have trouble getting a women pregnant.

During the healing period it is a good idea to wear adult diapers and keep a change of underwear and pants nearby when outside the home (perhaps in the car). It is possible to become partially or totally incontinent. Their is a 1% chance of permanent urinary incontinence, while mild incontinence happens to a third of the men who undergo the procedure.

Because of the prostate glands roll in your sex life, this sort of surgery, almost always reduces your sexual ability to some degree. This is true not just for patients who have surgery to remove the prostate but also for those who receive radiation externally. Your other option is PH therapy, However more research needs to be done on this.

It is common for people to associate Prostate removal with the end of their sex life and while it is true that surgery carries significant implications in this area, it need certainly not be the end of the matter! Proper research into the doctor who will perform the operation may make or break your sex life, so shop around for the best doctor you can find.
