Getting Natural Erections Back after Prostate Surgery
1. The most important principle.
There are many variables involved when it comes to whether you will get your erections back or not.
It’s not just about nerve sparing or age, or how good your erections were pre-surgery.
No one can predict what your erections will be like a year or two down the line no matter how much medical history they have on you.
In case you’re still feeling a bit unsure about why Prostatectomy leads to sudden erectile dysfunction and why prognosis is tricky - please watch these two interviews I did with Robotic Prostatectomy Surgeon, Professor Declan Murphy:
2. Optimise your erection recovery potential.
So considering we cannot know exactly what erection nerves were saved, or when they will come back ‘online’, you might be wondering:
Well, is there any hope? Is there anything I can do to positively impact my recovery?
YES.
Here is your key to success: focus on what you are in control of. Optimise your erection health.
Watch the 10 minute introduction video below to understand what optimising your erection health can look like (or, read this summary article).
3. Explore ways of creating erections to keep blood flow established.
So you’ve just learnt that one of the key ingredients in the erection health recipe is Blood Flow.
The very best way to ensure your penile tissue is getting regular blood flow for stretch and oxygenation is to make erections regularly.
The first step therefore, is to find a way to ‘create’ erections manually and regularly in a way that suits you.
The recommended two manual ways of creating erections from scratch are using penile injections, and vacuum erection devices.

You might have absorbed this information with ease, excited to get going on your erection recovery journey.
On the other hand, you might be feeling like a lot of my clients do:
Anxious, scared, worried, frustrated and nervous about taking the first step.
“What if I try it and it doesn’t work? How will I deal with that disappointment? What will I tell me partner if this doesn’t work?”
Recovery after Prostate Surgery is usually a mental as well as physical exercise.
I’m sure by this point you’ll be unsurprised to know that there’s no ‘standardised’ solution or magic bullet fix for this part of recovery either.
Everyone is different in how the experience of E.D. effects them (again, there are a lot of variables that influence this too).
You need to find what works best for you.
The one common denominator that I’ve noticed is the importance of having a form of consistent, ongoing support.
In the next section you’ll get some ideas of ongoing support methods, and what helped Alan White on his recovery journey.
