A member asked:

Can libido be recovered after prostate removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Often: Libido will usually return after prostatectomy. However, sexual function will be different. Sensation of orgasm will not be accompanied by ejaculation. If surgery spared the nerves, erectile function will return over several months.
