Cycling and erectile dysfunction

Hi BertieBB

That's good to read that you've made a good recovery but it's natural to have questions.

I'm sorry that I can't answer your questions but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Replying to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily spotted.

If you don't get any replies from the other members of this group you could speak to one of the nurses on the Macmillan Support Line. It's free to call them on 0808 808 000 and they're available daily from 8am to 8pm.

While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you. or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.

Hi I am 60 years old and very fit i have been a runner for 40 years or more and the last 10 years i have added cycling in between to give my legs a rest i had my op a years ago almost to the day- all went well and its made little difference to my life - the doctor was able to spare both nerves  i also have a regular prescription for Cialis

After 10 weeks i was back running after 12 weeks i was cycling down to work (3 miles away ) with no pain  - i bought ISM saddles with the cut out  so no pain and  no problem with ED 

I used the cycling in a training mode so i am working on and off the saddle which i feel is important  after 16 weeks i started to up my mileage on a few weekend outings 

so to cap no problem best of luck 

Thanks Pauloboss for your reply.  I found it very encouraging.  I think I’ll try returning to the bike once the stormy weather has passed.
