Pourquoi un cancer de la prostate peut-il provoquer des troubles de l’érection

Erectile dysfunction is a common concern for individuals undergoing prostate cancer treatment. Several procedures, such as complete removal of the prostate gland or radiation treatment, can lead to damage to blood vessels and nerves, which can cause this issue. While hormone deprivation treatment does not directly affect physical functioning, it can impact your desire and interest in sexual activity.

Fortunately, there is a nerve-sparing surgical method that has been developed to help alleviate the problem. However, it’s important to know that even with this method, 2 to 4 out of 10 individuals may still experience erection problems after surgery. Additionally, it’s worth noting that radiation treatment can cause erectile dysfunction that may not appear for a few weeks or months.
