You posted in the Prostate Cancer forum. Have you had prostate cancer? That could certainly be a factor, or the treatment of it could be.
The meds you take have been shown to help some men with ED, but a lot depends on the cause of it. If your ED is being caused by high blood pressure or thyroid issues, it could help.
Have you spoken with your doctor about it yet? Are your blood pressure and thyroid being monitored?
The same can also be said for DHEA and other hormones undergoing investigation as markers for prostate cancer. The hypertension is not really related to the treatment of the prostate itself. If you are taking any medications for erectile dysfunction, then this may have some effect on blood pressure, but it lowers not increases.
After 5 days of use, it lowered sex drive and made my erectile dysfunction way worse. I just need to know if this is at all permanent. Has anyone else had experiences with this? I only took it for 5 days so im not as worried but I just dont know at this point. Any help is really appreciated.
Impotence or erectile dysfunction is common side effect after radical prostatectomy. The nerve sparing technique restores potency in men when tumor is localized. Of the two surgical techniques, these are nerve-sparing ones, unilateral prostatectomy can save the neurovascular nerve bundle and bilateral spares both. The erectile function returns in more than half who undergo the bilateral technique and about half for unilateral technique.
Erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy is not uncommon. Even men who undergo nerve sparing may not recover their erectile function for up to two years and may require the use of erectile aids such as PDE-5 inhibitors (Viagra, Calais etc.) or PGE-1 (alprostadil (MUSE or Caverject)). Predicting who will recover erectile function is by no means an exact science, it depends on preoperative factors, intraoperative factors and post operative factors.
In choosing between alternatives 1 and 2a, my concerns are firstly what is the difference in impotence, including erectile dysfunction and secondly, incontinence. I understand both treatment alternatives will result in impotence and incontinence, so I am just trying to get information on the resulting differences, if any, between the 2 treatments. Are there any other factors I should consider in choosing between these 2 alternatives ?
I am a 55 year old male with prostate cancer. psa of 3.5, gleason of 6 (3+3) and yes I understand that 30% or so of gleason 6s are really gleason 7s. Paranernal (sp ?) invasion indicated. 3 of 8 cores positive. I am looking at the robotic surgery and considering one of two doctors, both with good reputations.
anyway, I am very worried about loss of sexual function after the sugery. has anyone had the robotic sugery and what is the feedback.
With nerves, there is always the possibility that damage can occur elsewhere.
I don't think this is your problem, but perhaps you should have your prostate checked. It's possible that your prostate was hurt by the dildo...or that you had a previous prostate problem to begin with but didn't show until now.
I suggest going back to your doctor and telling him everything...or at least ask to have your prostate checked.
Another possibility is that you are suffering from anxiety.
overdiagnosis and overtreatment; and treatment complications, such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction. In determining whether this service is appropriate in individual cases, patients and clinicians should consider the balance of benefits and harms on the basis of family history, race/ethnicity, comorbid medical conditions, patient values about the benefits and harms of screening and treatment-specific outcomes, and other health needs.

After having the prostate biopsy, you do indeed have biopsy-proven prostate cancer. Now you need to think about treatment options. If the prostate cancer has spread to other organ systems (bone, lymphatics) then having a prostatectomy is not the best option. Instead hormonal treatment may be employed.
When consulted about erectile dysfunction a professional doctor does not and need not take sexual orientation, religion or politics into consideration at all. All that matters is the person suffering from ED and how to get him right again.
In your case you have classical performance anxiety.
Cialis would help give you back some confidence. A better solution might be to take intercourse off the menu and not challenge yourself. No performance no anxiety if you follow.
Male 32 having erectile dysfunction for last 5 years.serious anxiety and depression and now I have started noticing my body hair are less as compared to before which is definitely due to depression of ed.i got tested for cortisol testosterone tsh t3 t4 my cortisol was fine my testosterone was 550 out of 300 to 900 my tsh was fine.The lab didnt perform t3 t4 they said since tsh was fine so they dont perform t3 n 4.
Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are the two most bothersome effects following successful treatment of cancer following radical prostatectomy. Some patients do not recover full urinary continence for upwards of a year to a year and a half depending on numerous factors. I would encourage you to discuss this issue with your doctor where you can discuss things like pelvic floor exercises and medications that can improve certain aspects that may contribute to his leakage.
It is true that diabetes can cause erectile dysfunction but even people with prediabetes may experience erectile dysfunction (ED). This is because nerve damage can occur even before a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, when a person has prediabetes. Poorly managed blood sugar control can damage the blood vessels and nerves, including the blood vessels and nerves in the penis. This type of nerve damage can prevent a man from getting and sustaining an erection.
Anxiety and stress play an important role in the development of erectile dysfunction; and is the most common possible cause. At a primary level, I would suggest being a bit relaxed and working on the psychological factors. You could also see a psychotherapist/ behavioral therapist for the same. It might also be beneficial to get rid of factors like smoking/ alcohol/ drugs, if involved.
