Hi everyone, I am just starting my sexual rehabilitation after partial nerve-sparing RP at the beginning of December. My incontinence is still an issue, I would say I was a "star pupil" at the catheter removal appointment but I don't seem to have moved on much from there. I do know that these are very, very early days so I'm not beating myself up and I'm still getting regular follow-ups with the incontinence team.
My surgeon put me on daily 5mg Tadalafil and I managed to get an early appointment with my ED Specialist last month who gave me "on demand" 20mg Tadalafil to see if that had any impact. So far I've noticed (like a number of you) an increase in general blood flow to my penis (he seems "chubby" compared to previous) but I'm not getting erections on stimulation. I will get further ED appointments and I'm fully expecting to go down the vacuum device soon. To that end I purchased the Lovehoney Edge pump as I had done my reading around maintaining blood flow. I know its not medical grade but the effect has been pretty good so far. Also played around with the Edge adjustable ring to some effect.
All in all, I'm very hopeful for the future. My wife is being very supportive but is definitely missing the penetration (penis-shaped toys ain't doing it for her)! I know these are early days but I'm determined to make sure that, if the one set of nerves I have decide to kick in, everything else is in full working order.
Thanks for the advice and support. Keep on keeping on!
