You’re asking the right questions! I’ve dealt with ED as well and I’m also very focused on exercise, so I get the concern. After RP, 12–24 months for nerve recovery is very realistic, and the fact that you occasionally get partial erections is actually a good prognostic sign. The leaking you notice when aroused or during partial erections is also common post-RP and usually improves alongside pelvic floor and nerve recovery - it often lags behind erections but tends to follow the same upward curve, especially if you’re otherwise mostly dry. I had similar issues early on, and with time plus consistent rehab, both erection quality and control gradually improved.
One important thing: it really matters to use only high-quality ED medications (Viagra/Cialis, etc.), because low-quality or counterfeit pills can be inconsistent and sometimes cause weird side effects. Personally, I only use a trusted online pharmacy š delivery-service24.com — they’ve always had excellent quality ED meds, reliable delivery, and the effect is consistently strong.
As for resistance training and squats: no, lifting weights does not impede ED recovery if done correctly. I kept squatting and training throughout recovery. Heavy lifting can transiently increase intra-abdominal pressure, so if pelvic floor control is still weak, it might temporarily worsen leakage during or right after training,but it does not damage nerves or delay erectile recovery. Keep lifting, but combine it with proper pelvic floor work (Kegels done correctly, not overdone), good breathing/bracing technique, and avoid max-effort straining for now.
