Welcome New Member mkohn

I found this first post from a new member on an old thread. I'm giving him a thread of his own so folks can say hello.

I'm new here. I had my prostate removed 9/22/2011. Incontinence was dealt with in about two months. My ED problems are not working out as well. I was 50 when diagnosed with prostate cancer and had the surgery a few months later. I have stronger orgasms since surgery but I don't get erections often. After reading messages in this community, I think I'll try a pump next. I'll leave injections for last. Thanks for all the posts. I feel a little better, knowing I am not the only one going through this. My surgery was horrible..I was in surgery 11 hours and in recover 3 1/2 hours. I had complications from an appendectomy five years earlier with scar tissue being the biggest problem. My fiancee and I are frustrated with our almost nonexistent sex life and want to improve this. Thanks for all those who have posted, for being so courageous to do so.

Yes the nerves were spared. I'll try to add a sig line tomorrow if I can remember. :) I'm having major problems in the sexual category....I get aroused but I don't get erect and I get a 50% erection if I use Cialis. I have stress incontinence. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome aboard the PCa ship Max. Most of us have been there, done it and can share our experiences with you. Please come back often with your questions, frustrations and emotions and you will be amazed at how many responses you will get.

I had to have surgery to fix my ED problems, but there are great options out there for you. VED's, injections, Rx,s, etc.

Sorry you have joined our fraternity, but it is an amazing brotherhood here on HW.

Welcome to the corner of the world no one wants to be in. There's a lot of good info to be found here, but to a new comer it's like taking a sip from a fire hose.

I suspect the surgery Devasted is talking about might have been a penile implant, but I'll let him confirm or deny that.

Welcome, Max. I've gotten much good information here and there are many wonderful people willing to help. Information is the key and many will share their experiences to give you that.

Get ideas here and talk to a good doc who can discuss your options.

I am 44mos post-op and it was 2 1/2 years before things came around, but they did come around with 1 nerve bundle and cialis to viagra. At 70 years old, it will never be as before, but then again what is. Intimacy by any other name is still intimacy. It is not a project, it is……. well intimacy. Via a look, a sense, a mannerism, a body part. Its knowing as you are known, so to speak….
