I am 51 and currently undergoing treatment (very successfully) for Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia - CLL , and have just (2 weeks ago) had surgery to remove my prostate and hopefully the cancer. So all in all it’s been a tough 18 months.

Recovery is going well, but I’m definitely going to need some medical assistance for ED.

However looking on the NHS website is says :-

Check with your doctor before taking sildenafil if you:

have sickle cell anaemia (an abnormality of red blood cells), leukaemia (cancer of blood cells) or multiple myeloma (cancer of bone marrow)

Unfortunately it says the same for Tadalafil.

Obviously I need to discuss this properly with both my Haematology consultant and my Prostate Surgeon , and I’m not here looking for any medical advice just interested if anyone is in the same boat and what they did about it.

Thanks

Need medical assistance for ED? This could range from no erection at all to "not as hard as it was"

The pills won't work for the former you will need injections or mechanical devices (pump). These same treatments are also very effective for situations where pills may work but can't be used.

For the later a simple cock ring may make all the difference you need - it does for me.
