This thread will take me a long time to write so I'll be editing it as time goes on. My attitude toward life after surgery depended upon the issues I was coping with at the time.
My darkest time after surgery was during the time I was coping with the following:
1. Total loss of urinary control-needing to change 15-16 times per/day
2. Erectile Dysfunction
3. Leaking urine during all phases of sexual excitement and urinating during orgasm.
During this phase I thought having surgery was the biggest mistake of my life, that my life was ruined beyond repair. I was convinced I would have been better off doing nothing and dying from prostate cancer some time in the future.
This phase was obviously the worst. I've met men and their partners who get stuck in this phase for years.
More to come. As I'm writing this I hope others will add their perspective.
