Is there Life after Impotence?

I’ve asked urologists and radiation specialists this question: has impotence ever reversed itself? I have yet to have anyone say, “yes.” Yet, interviews have told me the opposite – that whatever damage was done to the blood flow during treatment may be reversed to some degree later on. Of course, this may be the combination of physiological and psychological punch I talked about up above: the “I’m going to be impotent” fear turning into actual impotence. But it may be something that not enough men report to their oncologists; so the doctors don’t have the data to investigate or understand the spontaneous recovery of the ability to have a full or partial erection.

So, whether it’s an implant, a pump, medications, or psychological counseling, yes, there is sexual life after prostate cancer, and even after impotence.
