Would removal of the prostate result in erectile dysfunction?
Removal of prostate can happen with or without removal of surrounding nerves based on the patient's condition. Persons whose nerves are spared may have erectile dysfunction for mostly 2 years or so post surgery which regains back slowly. Persons whose nerves are removed may have permanent erection issues and may need medications for it.
