ED after Surgery

You are not alone Hibernian.

This couple’s disease is truly devastating on top of the cancer.

There are lots of info out there about ED and the intimacy issues both by forum members (pardon the pun) and by the Macmillan support online or verbally by phone, there’ll be more accurate advice soon I’m sure.

This thing you’re going through is all too common and you both (OH and you) are in this together.

Please know there’s loads that can be done.

Hello Hibernian

You may also find some help and ideas from this thread on the Cancer Chat forum

 Sex and cancer - Let's talk 

I have not had surgery but Hormone Therapy in my case has removed the ability to have full sexual intercourse - we still have fun - just in other ways!!.

I hope the above helps.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Hibernian, and a warm welcome to Macmillan’s Online Community. I’m Dylan from the Online Community team.

I’m really sorry to hear that ED is causing you distress after your RP. It sounds positive that you and your wife are managing intimacy together, even though the changes can feel difficult to cope with. I’m glad you’ve found your way to the Prostate cancer forum, as I know you'll find some amazing support and advice here
