Sexual Function
How would you feel if you could not get an erection? For some men, sexual function and manhood are one and the same. A loss of sexual capability, or urinary control, may be difficult for some men to accept, while others may accept the loss and learn to live with it. The chance of becoming at least partially impotent after prostate cancer treatment is real -- approximately 20% to 85% chance with surgery and 40% to 67% chance with radiation. But there are treatments that can restore some degree of potency. Would you be willing to accept this? If so, screening and treatment may be your choice. If not, you may want to avoid screening.
