Hi
I am new to the forum and have read several conversations which have helped me realise I am not the only one experiencing life after non nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. I was diagnosed in 2009 and opted for surveillance until my Gleason score worsened and lost my older brother to prostate cancer which spread to spine and brain in the space of 6 months.
Had my op in March of 2019, still experience a bit of incontinence, funny that I can hold onto a full bladder but not an empty one, and of course the ED. I use both Alprostadil and a VED to maintain any form of erection.
I read an article in the Daily Mail, MailOnline in August 2021 where they were looking to trial shockwave therapy to try and reverse ED in men who have undergone prostate surgery. The treatment involves delivering a painless acoustic wave to the penis using a specialist probe for 10 to 15 minutes weekly for 10 weeks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9885619/New-hope-men-suffering-effects-prostate-surgery-expert-says.html
My question is did anyone manage to get onto the trial and possibly know if the trial was successful?
