The Return of JayMot - Part 2 (ED)

OK, guys, got a good first PSA result. Now what?

Well, I am healed up pretty good and I have just a little stress incontinence ( a few drips). I am actually at work today with no pad. I wear one when I leave the house sometimes.....especially with lighter colored pants. But, generally no problem.

Now, the ED. It is TOTAL! I mean no response at all. There is sensation, but nothing else. This was not an issue prior to surgery. I am on Daily 5mg of Cialis and use the VED daily for rehab. I was told by my Surgeon that it could take up to 2 years for functionality to return. I am OK with that and will continue to use the Cialis and VED. But I was hoping for some kind of incremental improvement by now.

My question is, has anyone out there started at ground zero after surgery, like me, and had any success in the return of natural erections? If so, how long did it take you? I am only 3 months out. I would even be satisfied if I was able to "come back to life" one day with medication(s). I fear that all is lost "down there" and I will need some kind of artificial means in the future. I mean, I will do what is necessary, but it's kind of depressing right now.

I have my 3 month check-in tomorrow at UPENN and this will be a topic I will be discussing. I like to hear what the Doc says.

Good question....and I should have included that info.

Per the surgical report, 90% spared on left, 60% spared on right.

PaxNova, thanks for post. Kind of discouraging, but if there is light at the end of the tunnel, then I'm willing to work at it.

You should consider being on a Penile Rehab program, which consists of a bit more than just taking Cialis. The following link may help you understand penile rehab:

Talk to your doctor about it.

Jaymot,
Just wanted to say hello and give you some positive feedback. My RALP was 3/21/16 which went very well. I am 99% continent with only a few drips. On the ED front, or down there, I am far from where I was, or where I hope to be, but things do get better. The post surgery disappearance is over and we have made substantial comeback. Though growth is good, firmness is lacking. That said, the sex is very enjoyable already. Orgasms even without full erections are almost as good as pre-surgery. So at near 6 months out, it seems the greatest improvements have occurred in the last month. Wishing you the best.
