All treatments for prostate cancer cause side effects. Urinary
incontinence and erectile dysfunction are two of the most common side
effects. Erectile dysfunction also referred to as impotence is the
inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficiently firm enough to
engage in sexual intercourse. The possibility of being rendered
impotent is one of the most common and terrifying aspects of prostate
cancer surgery and other treatments used to treat prostate cancer.
Erectile dysfunction in particular negatively affects men and typically
causes them to feel a great sense of loss in addition to experiencing
high levels of stress, anxiety and depression.
