Has anyone been affected with ED (erectile disfunction) post op. Had my tumour and 11 lymph nodes removed at start of September as not enough shrinkage after 4 rounds of chemo & 25 sessions of radiotherapy, so now have a permanent stoma.
Just wondering if the ED was only temporary. How long it took to return to normal. Currently on round 2 of 3 of chemo as histology showed a couple of things so being treated as they're airing on the side of caution. Even though my ED hasn't improved since my op is the chemo also impeding this issue. Lots going on in my mind.
Thanks in advance.

Hi P Double U
Won’t tag, sorry.
You need to get a referral to the specialist ED clinic associated with the urology dept. There are quite a few things they can do. You may need to research online to find out what facilities there are in your area. Good luck.
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
If you need more detailed info PM me.

Will try get a GP appoinment for the referral and go from there. Thanks for your reply.
