How likely is Peyronie's Disease after prostate cancer surgery?

Written By Victoria Cullen

16% of men are likely to develop plaques in their penis while experiencing ED after prostatectomy.

This is much higher than I even realised. There’s a lot that can change sexually after prostate cancer surgery, and the literature puts a lot of focus on the loss of spontaneous erections.

But if 1 in 6 men after surgery are starting to notice lumps in their penis creating a curved erection - I am pretty sure we need to focus on that too.

Listen to this exceptional podcast interview between Jo Milios and Dr. Susie Gronski for more facts on sexual recovery after prostate cancer surgery - 25 minutes onwards gets to the ‘guts to nuts’ of it - personal joke you’ll get after listening!
