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.

See your doctor to check if the nerves that run along side the prostate gland, which control erections, were damaged or cut. If yes, this will impact your ability to achieve an erection.

If you have tried Viagra, or this type of drug with no success, you may want to consult a specialist who deals with post-surgery erection problems.

For some men, erection problems after prostate surgery are actually mental. Due to fears about damaging their body, performance anxiety or feeling less whole due to loss of the prostate gland, actually causes their ED.

How long has it been since your prostate surgery? ED from prostate surgery can last up to a year after surgery. Talk to your surgeon to see if the nerves next to the prostate gland that control erection were damaged or cut, as this can lead to erectile dysfunction. Don't forget the mind is an amazing tool and people have been cured of "incurable conditions" by deciding that they don't have a condition and holding that thought in mind completely.
