I had my surgery June 2021. I still leak and have issues with ED. It is very depressing.

Surgery in October 2022 l'm 68 and in good health, still have leakage and ed, with a rising psa, good luck to you

Mine was in 2010 . Drugs help with ed. I don't get hard without stimulation like i used to . I do leak at times . I just deal with it . Wear a pad if i am going to be on my feet a long time .
