I am asking for my husband who had prostate surgery almost a year ago. He had the DaVinci robotic surgery and is doing well ( no incontinence) . We have both read the recommended book regarding pre-and post operative problems associated with the surgery. He had to use Viagra before the surgery and is continuing with it now. The problem which is very frustrating for him is that he can t maintain an erection due to the reverse blood flow. We understand there might be a device he can use to help with this, but don t know where to obtain them without going to any Internet site.
HelloThanks for query. Your husband has undergone Radical Prostatectomy for cancer of the prostate and has retrograde ejaculation. During surgery of Radical Prostatectomy entire prostate bladder neck is resected. During ejaculation bladder neck I gets closed tightly that prevents entry of semen in bladder. But as the bladder neck is resected during surgery the semen enters freely into bladder instead of entering forward in to urethra what is called as Retrograde ejaculation. This is known complication of prostatectomy and can not be cured by any device or medications. Thanks and Regards. Chat Doctor.
