does Viagra ‘work’ after prostate surgery?

This a 20 minute interview between Urologists, Associate Professor Nathan Lawrentschuk, Dr. Joseph Ischia and the Godfather of Penile Rehabilitation - Professor Francesco Montorsi.

“I think that the concept of rehab is today mostly the concept of trying to have sex as much as or as frequently as possible.

I tell my patients “it is time to go back to high school and to practice masturbation as much as possible”.

One could say for example the vacuum device could also be used for the same reason without using the band at the root of the penis.

So, rehabilitation would be like… you break your leg and after the operation or whatever, you need to start walking and if you stay on the couch or lay on your bed and do nothing all day then it will be difficult to get your muscle back.

It is exactly the same concept.

So people should try as much as they can, typically if they try by themselves they don’t have performance anxiety and so it is easier to get better erections.

If you add drugs (Viagra or Cialis) things are indeed much better as we have seen over the last 15 years, always. When anyone is using a pill, it is always much better.”
