Incontinence and erectile dysfunction are reported less often among men treated at major cancer centers, such as Roswell Park, where this type of cancer is treated on a more routine basis. Men who do experience these conditions will find that there are several solutions that can help improve symptoms.

No Incontinence nor ED

I had my RRP in Feb 2009. I was down to 1 pad a day by my first follow-up appt and completely off pads by 3 months. As far as ED is concerned, I was able to have erections within that same time period, however, my libido and desire for sex had decreased. I was prescribed daily Cialis to help with blood flow to the Penis. I no longer take Cialis and am able to have quality intercourse. I can't say that I have the Libido of my 30 something self, but then again I am 47. :-)
