Suffering Weak Erection After Nerve-Sparing Prostatectomy

A prostate-surgery patient has improved the quality of erection after practicing Sexual Qi Gong. He is also able to initiate erection by masturbation.

Case #: 44013

Concern：

My erection is almost gone, after the nerve-sparing prostate surgery 3 years ago. I have some recovery progress in strengthen my erection, after trying Sexual Qi Gong and natural formula. Right now, I get a good erection after masturbation for 2 minutes. Any good tips to take care my prostate. I fear my prostate will get exhausted, once I start more sexual activities. I just got some ED prescription drugs from my doctors and worry about the side effects.

Discussion：

Well, the good news is, if erection supplements work for you, obviously your parasympathetic erectile nerves have survived the surgery. The bundles of these nerves on either side of the prostate gland are responsible for erection. Often those nerves get severed and you lose erectile function. So you're lucky.

Be aware of using ED prescription drugs. ED drugs do not heal your underlying medical condition and has harmful side effects. Serious adverse side effects of ED drugs (Sildenafil Citrate) are persistent erection (priapism), severe hypotension, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, stroke, and increased intraocular pressure, while common side effects include sneezing, headache, flushing, dyspepsia, palpitations and photophobia. ^{[1] [2]}

Since your penile erectile nervous function is driven by both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, the herbs from Anti Aging Solution For Erectile Tissues should provide the necessary nutrient to rejuvenate your sympathetic nervous beta receptors in the penis and testicles and parasympathetic nervous pathway.
