Having the prostate removed can affect getting
erections. Talk with your doctor about whether nerve-sparing
surgery can be used to allow the nerves that
control erections to be kept. Medications and devices
can help with impotence in many men.
After surgery, the orgasm may be "dry," meaning no
ejaculation. If you are interested in having children,
you will need to preserve your sperm (sperm
banking) before surgery (see the
Resources
section for a list of
resources for more information). |
