Sexual Changes After Prostate Treatment: Questions You Can Ask
You may have been focused on treatment and recovery, then discover that erections, desire or other parts of intimacy feel different. It can be difficult to know when to mention it. Your treating team can discuss sexual wellbeing as part of your care.
Ask about your particular treatment
Different treatments can have different effects and recovery patterns. Ask what changes are expected for you, what support is available and when sexual activity is appropriate. Bring your partner if you want help having that conversation.
Keep the plan individual
Do not copy another person's rehabilitation routine or introduce a device without checking suitability. Discuss medicines, devices or specialist support with the team. You can also talk about the emotional side and ways to remain close during recovery.
