Do you know that prostrate cancer is one of the leading reasons for cancer deaths in men? About 230,000 new cases of prostrate cancer are diagnosed every year, out of which approximately 30,000 men succumb to it.
There are numerous options available for the treatment of prostrate cancer; one of them is prostatectomy, that is, prostrate removal. Radical prostatectomy is one of the forms of prostrate removal.
Men whose cancer is confined to the prostrate are generally recommend radical prostatectomy. In this procedure the entire prostrate gland along with some surrounding tissue is removed.
Unfortunately, one of the major fallouts of this form of prostrate removal is the development of erectile dysfunction. Do you know about 70 to 80 percent men experience erection problems after a radical prostatectomy?
Men might take as long as two years to overcome their problems of erectile dysfunction, but, according to a new study by the Harvard researchers during this period of time other damages can occur.
According to the researchers, when the penis is flaccid for long periods of time, then, it gradually becomes more like a scar tissue. Oh no, that means, that a man may completely lose his ability to have successful erection after the operation.
Don’t lose heart, there is hope. Instead of following the traditional advice given by doctors about waiting for the erectile function to return on its own, men should try to restore their erectile functions sooner! How can you do so? Well, apart from using your fertile imagination you can take the assistance of various treatment options available, like using a vacuum pump device or taking erectile dysfunction drugs.
