Tips and advice for any bladder or bowel side effects of treatment

Yes, pelvic floor excercise help tremendously

Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

Just sit it out. Buy a rubber ring to sit on. For my condition it went after a month or so.

After Robotic Surgery I am still unable to get an erection which impacts on my sense of well-being.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?
