Dr. Anne Truong outlines ED recovery after prostate surgery: use a vacuum pump for at least six weeks to restore oxygen and stretch tissue, not a constriction ring. Rings come later, once rehabilitation is done and you're ready for penetrative sex.

And I'll talk about the step by step protocol. But the main thing is that do not use a constriction ring. Do not use a ring. Do not use the ring because the goal is to bring in more oxygen and stretch the muscle, not to maintain or intercourse. This is rehabilitation post prostate surgery. Okay, so when the goal is for penetrative sex, then you can use the ring after being rehabbed, after you've been using the pump and the protocol for at least six weeks.
