Is been one year since your prostate cancer surgery with no erection what can you do to get erection?
It can take up to one year after prostate surgery to know if you will be able to achieve an erection. Also, if the nerves that run along the sides of the prostate gland, which control erection, were damaged or cut, this could effect the ability to achieve an erection. See your doctor for a follow-up exam to see if the nerves were in fact cut or damaged, or if your recovery is still taking place and it may take a bit longer for normal sexual function to be restored. I would recommend also consulting with a doctor who specializes in prostate surgery and rehabilitation to regain sexual function. If you are having difficulty achieving an erection, a specialist may have tools and therapies available to help restore this function for you.
