Tips and advice for any bladder or bowel side effects of treatment
Take the advice offered by your doctor; wear the pads but don't become reliant on them. Try to re-adjust back to normal as quickly as possible. With the procedure, you lose some penile length, so beware of this. I was given a penile exercise device to exercise the penis and aid erections. This did not work for me so I was offered injections to bring on an erection. Speak with your health professional and be straight with them; tell them what you are experiencing; they are likely to be helpful. And equally, keep your partner informed and involved; this is vitally important.
