I’m 66 and had a radical cystectomy 2 years ago with bladder and prostrate removed. Had a few urinary infections in first 12,months or so but glad to say last 6 months or so feeling much more robust and more like myself. Always been pretty active in spare time and play golf a couple of times a week and with my wife have a small farm with a few sheep and horses. However , in the kiss and cuddling stakes (!) viagra hasn’t worked and was wondering if anyone has either found viagra ( or similar) medications work or for example have tried injections or anything else?

A tad personal/ embarrassing , but hopefully we are all past that ! and just wondering if anyone having had a cystectomy has any similar experience and/or suggestions?

Many thanks.

Jack

  • In a similar boat, have not tried Viagra, but am thinking of trying it. I think this effect of a RC is massively underestimated in terms of impact, Leo

    Thanks again,

    Jack.

  • Had my radical cystoprostatectomy in March 26, they have put me on tadalafil twice a week. I'd say the last month things have started not a great deal but definitely getting feeling down there  again
