Recover Your Sexual Function After Prostate Surgery

I'm going to show you seven things that you can do to get your sex life back after prostate surgery. Stay tuned and find out. Hello there modern man. Today I'm going to talk about the natural remedy for erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery. Restoring intimacy again. Unfortunately, prostate surgery is a life saving procedure, but it gives you ed. That's one of the most common side effects after prostate surgery. Because where the prostate is located at is right next to the urethra where you urinate. But it's also right underneath the penis and the blood vessels and the nerve that go to the prostate also go to the penis. When the doctor come in and take out the prostate, it also injured the blood vessels and the nerve that that go to the penis as well. The most common side effect after prostate surgery is erectile dysfunction. And sometimes that type of ED are not responsive to Viagra or Cialis or the common ED medication and it's devastating. I've seen my patient in their 40s that actually had prostate cancer and had surgery, then have ed. But the good news is that there are things that you can do to rehabilitate the penis again after prostate surgery. And there are six things I want to talk about today. So let's go over them. So number one is you can do pelvic floor exercises. And the pelvic muscles are the muscles that are between your scrotum and your anus. And those are the muscles that are actually involved in helping you with an erection, orgasm and also ejaculation. They're called Kegels exercises or K E G L E s. And when you do these exercises, you can strengthen your erection and improve blood flow to the penis. How you can practice doing that is a dose of the same muscle and that start and stop your urine stream. So you can feel how those muscles feel by urinating and stopping your urine and then start again and stopping your urine and start again. But I would recommend that you see a certified pelvic rehab physical therapist that knows the intricacy of helping you relax and contract and coordinating this with breathing. Because in our last episode that we talked about pesticides, pelvic floor exercises for ed. Most men with ED have spasm of the pelvic floor muscles. Instead of weakness, it's more spasm. So when your muscle in the pelvic floor is spasm, it prevents you from having an erection because you want the muscle to relax and contract, relax and contract and not stay in spasm. But oftentimes you don't know that. So you keep doing the kegels exercises and trying to squeeze the muscle more, you actually may end up harming yourself. So I would recommend that you go see the doctor and then do your blood work and have examined but also go see a physical therapist that specializes in a pelvic floor exercises. And if you refer to my previous episode where I talk about pelvic floor exercises, there's a link that you can look up who's available near where you live. These pelvic floor exercises are valuable especially if you have ED after prostate surgery. And if you don't have prostate surgery, you should still do it anyway because it helps you with your erection and also with orgasm and ejaculation. Number two healthy lifestyle choices that mean that in order to get your erection back after prostate surgery should eat a really good balanced diet with full of fruits and vegetables and whole grain and lean meat. So I recommend a Mediterranean diet. You can google that or you can go on my website trongrehab.com and find the link for the Mediterranean diet. And try to avoid processed food and fatty food and sugary food. So essentially don't eat anything that's in a box or a plastic bag bag. Try to avoid dessert as much as you can. Try to get your sweet from vegetable. But if you have to indulge, you can actually do that one meal a week and indulge and eat the food you want. And then the other time you can just stay on the Mediterranean diet. So that's the diet but then exercise. I would put this as number three is that aerobic exercise such as walking, biking, swimming can also improve your blood flow as well and circulation to the penis. In my last episode I talk about aerobic exercise and that can even work as well as Viagra. And aerobic exercise is also a great mode to rehab the penis after prostate surgery. Not only will the diet and the exercise help you with your erection, but also help you with your cardiovascular disease and prevent you from having a heart attack. Not to mention also that you may even lose some weight by doing this as well. So multiple benefit with instilling diet and exercise to your post prostate rehab. Number four is stress reduction. So chronic stress and anxiety can hand perceptual function. Because the brain is a larger sexual organ, in order for you to get an erection, your brain and your penis has to be relaxed. So try to incorporate stress reduction technique into your daily life such as meditation, deep breathing through the nose, in and out and doing yoga. You can use the meditation app such as Calm and Insight they can download to your phone. You can listen to a meditation music music and follow along with the breathing. I recommend nasal breathing and you can actually access all of this breathing exercises and meditation by joining my modern man club. It's a space where I coach you to get out of ED with natural solution. And we have the exercises for nasal breathing as well as meditation in there as well. So by doing these practices you can take decrease anxiety and promote more relaxation and enhance your sexual responsiveness. Number five is herb and supplement. So herbs and supplements such as Tenac Ginseng known for its potential to improve erectile function and also general sexual well being. Nitric oxide, a substance that aid in relaxation of the blood vessel and promote more blood flow. Horny goat weed been known to enhance sexual performance. And Tribulus touristris can boost testosterone and has a positive impact on libido and sexual function. You can check out my link here that you can go to my store to get the supplement and I have one supplement that has all this all in one place. It's called the Libido plus. So instead of trying to take four different substances to take one is my libido plus. Number six is acupuncture. This is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves putting thin little needles into specific point of the body which then stimulate energy level or qi to travel up and down the body. And I will do another podcast episode about this. Has been shown to improve a reptile function by improving blood flow and also reducing stress as well too. So you should check that out and go see an acupuncturist. And oftentimes it's the meridian that kind of bring in the blood flow to the penis that is blocked. And just putting an acupuncture needle in there will actually unblock it and you can have more qi flowing to the area. Number seven, communication and counseling. So if you have ED after prostate surgery, you have open and honest communication with your partner as you're recovering from ED and also seek support with a qualified sex therapist or counselor who can help you guide to addressing the emotional and intimacy concerns and explore other alternative intimacy. You can still enjoy a sexual experience without getting an erection. So if you and your partner communicate what is central that get you aroused can really foster a deeper connection. So there are seven things that you can do for penile rehab after prostate cancer that these are natural and can really aid in bringing back your function again. And if you do it on a daily basis you should see some improvement in about 90 days. It's important also to check with your doctor as well too and do your blood work. And on top of that also use your penis pump. That should be number eight is to use your penis pump to bring in more blood flow to the penis to allow the corpus cavernosum or the penis muscle to expand and allow it to get more oxygen to to keep the muscle healthy. It's the same way when you go to the gym and you do chest press, you're bringing blood flow to the muscle to keep it healthy, bring more oxygen to the muscle. So add in penis pump.
