In most cases, those nerves will regenerate, allowing you to regain erectile function. Full recovery depends on factors such as age, erectile function before surgery, the extent of \u2014 and the ability of doctors to preserve the nerves during \u2014 surgery. [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/espanol\/se-regeneran-los-nervios-tras-una-operacion-de-prostata\/\">Espa\u00f1ol<\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Nerves You Need for Sex<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full male sexual function requires three nerve groups:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nerves that control orgasms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nerves responsible for conveying sensations from your penis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nerves that control your erections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of these, only the erectile nerve bundles are in harm\u2019s way when you have a prostatectomy. The damage they sustain during surgery partially defines how quickly you can regain your erections after the fact. Two bundles make up the nerves that control your erections. Both are located between your prostate and rectum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Nerve Preservation During Prostate Surgery<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nerve preservation during prostate surgery is the priority of doctors and patients alike. Surgical advances like the da Vinci\u00ae surgical robot have improved surgeons\u2019 ability to protect these nerves. Still, it\u2019s not always possible to preserve both erectile nerve bundles. Sometimes doctors have to remove one or both, partially or completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damage to the nerves does not happen accidentally or due to clumsiness of medical staff. The purpose of prostate surgery is to remove cancerous cells. If cancer has spread to the nerve bundles on the prostate, doctors must remove it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If cancer doesn\u2019t affect the nerves, the surgeon will leave the nerves intact. Patients who retain both nerve bundles are more likely to regain full erectile function quickly. The good news is, however, that even with a single remaining nerve bundle, it is possible to reclaim your erectile function.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why Do Erectile Nerves Sustain Damage?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prostate surgery is an invasive procedure. To preserve your nerves when removing your prostate, the surgeon needs to separate the nerves from the prostate. When scalpels and other surgical tools peel the nerves off your prostate, they can cause some damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other nerves in your body, your erectile nerves lack a protective sheath. This makes them even more prone to damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/operation.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31697\" title=\"operation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/operation.jpeg\" alt=\"operation\" width=\"512\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/operation.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/operation-300x109.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when they can be left intact, surgery can still traumatize them. Being stretched, bruised, and inflamed limits the ability of nerves to function as they normally would. This damage needs to heal before you can achieve a proper erection again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason your plumbing needs to regenerate following prostate surgery is that the intervention removes arteries that go through your prostate and supply your penis with blood. Your body needs to make up for the loss of these arteries by pumping more blood through other arteries so you can achieve an erection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even preserved nerves typically suffer some damage during radical prostate surgery. \u201cRadical\u201d does not mean \u201crenegade\u201d or \u201crevolutionary.\u201d The word is a medical designation to label the most extensive procedure often needed to do the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How Quickly Do Erectile Nerves Regenerate?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speed of recovery after prostate surgery depends on many factors, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The younger a patient is, the more quickly he can recover his erectile function. In some cases, recovery is immediate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Previous function. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients whose erectile function is good going into surgery may find it easier and faster to reclaim their abilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Whether nerve bundles are left intact. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who keep both erectile nerve bundles can make a full recovery quicker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>General health. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients without preexisting health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, recover faster.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mental health. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological factors may also play a role in regaining erectile function.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, erectile function <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santishealth.org\/prostate-cancer-information-centre\/nerve-regeneration-after-radical-prostatectomy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">returns in 12 months<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and patients reach the peak of their post-surgery erectile abilities in three years, on average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most patients in the 40-49 age bracket fully regain their erectile function whether they retain both or only one of their erectile nerves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 50- to 59-year olds, the extent of nerve damage starts to make more of a difference. While 92 percent of those who retain both nerves regain erectile function, only 67 percent of those who lose a nerve get to experience full erections again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Can You Do to Accelerate Erectile Nerve Regeneration?<\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately, you can create a set of circumstances that favor quicker nerve healing.<\/p>\n<h4>Self-stimulation<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following surgery, allow your tissues to heal for three to four weeks. Then you can try to return your nether regions to \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d by stimulating yourself 2-3 times a week. If you have someone to do it for you, the results should be similar. Remember that you can achieve orgasm without getting erect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, self-stimulation alone can work wonders. Others may want to give the effort a boost by taking an ED medication like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/buy-viagra\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viagra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/cialis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cialis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/vardenafil\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Levitra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Taking Sildenafil<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1477596\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that ED medication, such as Viagra (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/sildenafil-citrate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sildenafil citrate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) or Cialis (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/tadalafil-tabs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tadalafil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), can help you speed up nerve regeneration after prostatectomy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pills-in-a-hand.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31698\" title=\"pills in a hand\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pills-in-a-hand.jpeg\" alt=\"pills in a hand\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pills-in-a-hand.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pills-in-a-hand-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to researchers, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33443457\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sildenafil can speed up recovery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of erectile function in three ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps regenerate the thin membrane that lines your blood vessels, improving their function.

If you are not squeamish and can give yourself an injection, you may find that this approach works for you, even if you fail to respond to Viagra. However, some men find that alprostadil-enabled erections <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2673-4397\/3\/1\/9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be painful <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during the recovery process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Urethral Suppositories and Vacuum Pumps<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many patients may not tolerate having something injected into their penis. They may still consider other options, however, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muse. Muse is a small wax suppository form of alprostadil that\u2019s inserted into the urethra.
