Report postaftermath from Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
I had my prostatectomy during May 2023. They also had to remove quite a bit of nerve tissue, and I ever since could not manage an erection, even though I can achieve (sort of) a dry orgasm. I tried air pumps, tablets etc … I guess my last option is to try injections.
I would appreciate to obtain ANY valuable feedback and suggestions you can provide me with.

My husband uses injections and he had no nerve damage. Except it’s wise to get shown how to do it properly or use the tool to help, because he now has scar tissue from where he’s missed or not done it properly
Have you considered a penile implant? I would try the injections first however. Have a chat with a PCFA nurse 1800 22 00 99 so you can assess all the options. My erections returned 18 mths after prostatectomy. I used 1/4 viagra daily soon after op and vacuum pump for penile rehab. I might have been lucky with the nerve sparing however. Don’t give up mate!
Hi Barajas699,
Had the same surgery a few years ago and the nerve damage and replumbing after the prostate and seminal vessel removal had a major impact on my functions. Pumps and tablets did not work and CAVERJECT Injections were initially encouraging but hurt like hell for a few hours after the event; something I had to used to. After a while the injections were not working so I stopped using them – makes you feel like a burden in a relationship.
