I had RALP surgery just before Christmas and all seemed to go well. I had a great consultant have had next to no leaking (not wearing pads at all) and have started running fairly hard with no issues. I was advised I could cycle at around 7 weeks and did 30 mins each way to work. In the evening there was a lot of blood in my urine and I passed out when I went to the bathroom during the night. in the morning in felt fine and no blood in urine. I did feel I also set myself back a bit with erections that were starting to happen. I’ve not been back on the bike since but will try again this week, Erections have kind of started again ant around 70% but short lasting. Any advice on what I should and shouldn’t do in regards to riding and is this damaging to nerves?
Yeah, was a bit of a shock but the clinic didn't' seem too worried as there was no blood in the morning. I was advised to ease back and go to A&E if it happens again. I'm prone to low blood pressure and was a probably a bit dehydrated, it's happened a few times in the past pre-diagnosis and I've been OK since. I cycled into work this morning and everything seemed fine. I am still unsure if this will impact ED recovery.
