Prostate Surgery May Not Necessarily Mean End of Sex Life


Jupiterimages/Thinkstock(LONDON) -- Health experts say undergoing prostate surgery does not necessarily mean the end of a man’s sex life.

Experts at The Prostate Centre in London say the majority of men that are treated at the center are able to continue with their sex lives after undergoing surgery, with experts adding that psycho-sexual counseling may contribute positively to men’s sex lives getting back on track following surgery.

“On average, 8 out of 10 men I see who have had prostate surgery continue having sex lives afterwards,” Lorraine Grover, the Centre's expert in psycho-sexual counseling said in a statement. “Psycho-sexual counseling, in addition to a wide range of medications and devices, plays a key role in helping men address these sorts of fears. That's why men shouldn't ignore prostate problems, but get themselves checked out.”

The Prostate Centre says psycho-sexual counseling can help men with reintroducing intimacy into their relationship after surgery; recognizing and overcoming fears over sexual performance; and making sense of their sex lives and the role it plays in their relationship.
