they must encourage regular erections

Many men suffer from erectile dysfunction immediately after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. The reason for this is that the surgery cuts into delicate nerves that are essential for good sexual and erectile function. Overtime however many of these men recover and the nerves grow back normally. Men who have had prostate surgery often use erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra to give their erectile function a helping hand.

The new report that we have come across at Ukmedix News shows that it is important that men do not just wait for their erectile function to come back on its own. The report that was published in the medical journal Perspectives on Prostate Disease claims that it is not healthy for the penis to be flaccid for a long time because this can deprive it of blood which is rich in oxygen. The researchers claim that lack of oxygen in the penile chambers over time can mean that the flexibility of the penis damaged. The lack of oxygen can also mean that the penile tissue becomes hard like scar tissue which means that it is harder for the penis to expand when blood flows into it.

The researchers said that it may be a case for giving all men erectile dysfunction drugs or giving them vacuum pumps immediately after the prostate surgery to make sure that they get regular erections in order to keep their erectile function healthy. This research may now mean that instead of doctors advising men just to wait for the erectile function to come back naturally they will tell them that they must encourage regular erections.

Before the arrival of erectile dysfunction drug many men simply lost their erectile function for the rest of their lives after having had prostrate cancer surgery. One man who has spoken very frankly about his erectile dysfunction problem after prostate surgery is none other than the famous racing driver Sterling Moss who said that without being able to use impotence drugs he would now be completely impotent.
