The information on sexual bother in men with prostate cancer is conflicting. While some data suggest high bother from erectile dysfunction following prostate cancer treatments, other results indicate the life-saving nature of the treatment may mitigate erectile dysfunction concern.
A research study at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center aimed to determine if sexual bother increases post radical prostatectomy, as well as to determine if men psychologically adjust to diminished erections.
Study concluded that sexual bother increases post radical prostatectomy, even in men with “good” erections postoperatively, and includes shame, embarrassment, and a reduction in general life happiness. Because men do not seem to “adjust” to ED, referral or evaluation should occur early in this population.
