Lost your nerves

Hi all,

I wondered if a thread for those who have had non-nerve-sparing surgery might be a good one.

I had surgery in 2024 and they removed nerves on both sides of my prostate.  Initially, I didn’t really give it that much thought after the operation in June.  By November, I was physically well on my way to recovery, but mentally I was heading downhill mainly due to the knowledge that I would never have a natural erection again.  Thankfully I was able to access Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and over the next two to three months I dealt with it.  The key thing with the therapy was having to talk about it.  If it helps you, and it may well, then unload on this thread!
