Prostate cancer and sex

First surgery, then radiation, and finally ADT. Yes, prostate cancer has changed my life.

Sex after treatment

My wife and I had regular sex before PC then none for 4 years as the treatments left me impotent. With cancer finally under some control with ADT, I began to work on all the side effects and settled on injections to achieve an erection.

A new experience

I don’t always reach orgasm, especially during the really low T periods. I can’t ejaculate, of course, and sex is not spontaneous anymore. My wife and I are, however, grateful for what we have.
