Did you know that most men experience some urinary leakage for a period of time after prostate surgery?
Many men will also experience erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery – problems include an inability to gain an erection, decreased strength of erections, or difficulty maintaining an erection.
ARE YOU ABOUT TO UNDERGO PROSTATE SURGERY?
