Prostate Cancer And Erectile Dysfunction

I had my prostrate removed since it was found cancerous. However, after its removal I suffer from Erectile Dysfunction . My doctor recommended Penegra/ Viagra 50 mg and after one hour another tab of 50 mg. However, I do not get a hard-on as I would get before my surgery . I may say that I was sexually very active before my surgery.Please advise me what should I do or should I try out some other medicine?

Due to damage to the nerves after prostate removal and pssibly anti androgen drugs which are prescribed for cancer prostate do cause erectile dysfunction. Once you are off these drugs you will regain the erection. There is no need to change the drugs. Ading more drogs for restoration of ERECTION WILL CAUSE THE RECURRENCE OF YOUR CANCER. Please be happy with whatever power you have.
