Steve I believe that you were at last nights UsTOO meeting here in Las Vegas. Welcome aboard here at HealingWell. You'll find a lot of men here that have lived through what you are posting here.

For me I was dry at three months. But every man is different. In time things tend to improve. Kegel exercises and Pelvic floor exercises are usually what's prescribed at this stage for you. Here are some links that have a few websites to look at. Have a few clicks at them...

I have a couple phone numbers if you need help with the floor exercises. There are a couple places in town that have worked with men on these issues. On the ED it tends to take some time as well. Three months is not a long time in recovery from this surgery. I recommend patience and diligence. Stay positive and things do improve.

Steve – welcome to HW. This is a great place for information and support. For Incontinence and ED: of course results vary for different men, but generally speaking incontinence improves a great deal several weeks after surgery and by one year out, most men are continent. ED usually takes longer to resolve, but with nerve sparing surgery, it takes about 18 to 24 months. You do need to be proactive about your recovery, as Tony mentioned you should be doing Kegel exercises to help your incontinence and for recovery from ED, you should be taking meds such as Viagra or Cialis, and depending on your results, maybe injection therapy also. But no more ejaculate; without your prostate you no longer have the apparatus to produce or deliver semen

Good luck with your recovery.
