Question 1

i have heard that you cant get an erection after surgery. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Depends on surgery: Many men have all sorts of surgeries, and afterwards have no problems with erections. Your question does not mention the type of surgery, but some prostate surgeries do have impotence as a side effect. Please send in another question to healthtap, with some details so that our medical experts can better help you. Thanks!

Question 2

how long does it take for that area to go back to normal  after surgery  as far as getting an erection  so on and so forth? i just had surgery wed

Accepted Answer

Should be fast: At your age, expect erections as soon as the pain meds are worn off. If not, let your physician know

Question 3

when can i masturbate after circumcision? i haven't had any pain after surgery apart from erections when i'm asleep..

it's only 9 days since surgery.

Accepted Answer

2-4 weeks: Complete healing process usually varies from individual to individual, but 2-4 weeks should be sufficient for adequate healing.

Question 4

after hydrocele surgery will me get more erections?

Accepted Answer

No difference: Hydrocele surgery does not affect nerves or blood vessels to or from the penis. Thus no reason to be concerned about fewer erections.

Question 5

vasculogenic leak in penis because of thrauma, confirmed. cannot get or sustain an erection. im 25 yo. is there a surgery option? please :(

Accepted Answer

ED: Surgical repair can be done with limited success.  Vacuum erection device is an alternative.   Intracorporeal injections can be use depending on amount of vasculogenic leakage and the ultimate treatment a penile prosthesis.

Question 6

had my surgery and removed stone have a stent and string out of penis its tied in knot to short what happens is i get a erection? please help me

Accepted Answer

Ask urologist or ...: Leaving a thread attached to stent for self pulling-out is common; yet the length of thread is arbitrarily decided by urologist and occasionally it may be too short so restricting the "room" leading to discomfort for erection. If so, you may release the taping of the thread and let it go inside urethra for comfort. After erection and peeing, you will most likely see the thread reappear of pulling.

Question 7

had surgery&removed stone have a stent&string out of penis is tied in knot to short what happens if i get a erection?surgery ystrdy string out monday

Accepted Answer

See below: Generally, an erection will have no adverse effect on either the penis or the indwelling stent as there is enough redundant string within the bladder and penis to prevent the stent from inadvertently being pulled down/out or discomfort in the penis from the string being pulled too taut. Also, less likely to get an erection because of the discomfort often associated with having a stent in place.

Question 8

is it possible to get a penis reconstructive surgery for erectile dysfunction.?

Accepted Answer

Surgery for ED: Depending on the cause of ed, medicines, injections, vacuum pumps are often used prior to surgery. Reconstructive surgery usually requires placement of an inflatable penile implant. Reconstruction can be accomplished for severe penile curvature (peyronies) but often requires a penile implant as well. See a urologist.

Question 9

i've had a meatotomy surgery, after 1 day i couldn't pass urinte, so i installed a catheter to help urinate, but when i get an erection my penis hurts so bad, and now 2 days after removal the pain didn't stop when erection happens, why is that?

Accepted Answer

: It is likely the placement of the catheter roughed up the outlet tube and supportive tissue enough to trigger some pain with the additional stress of an erection. It should gradually subside in a week or so. You should call your urologist to get any guidance for this pattern.

Question 10

if my hydrocele came back after surgery, is it simply bad luck or surgery wasn't done well? not sure if i should get surgery again from same dr.

Accepted Answer

Surgical report: Every time that surgery is done the surgeon writes in his chart just what he has done and sends the tissue to a surgical pathologist for confirmation of what he has done. Get a copy of your medical records and once you have them either make a virtual or an office-based consult and have the prior medical records with you. Good luck!!
