Bye bye prostate - concerned about the effects my prostate removal has had on my relationship with my partner

Quite a difficult and even taboo subject is the effect on life after having the prostate removed and more specific the sex life has between the partner and I has ceased altogether. So one has resorted to other means to cope, but don't really think its the right one for mental strength.

  • You have to improvise, think outside the box, use the pump, tablets, cream, etc.

    Also get super fit, work on your core, Kegel exercises and overall fitness. 

    Get into smoothies and add some traditional aphrodisiacs to it. ( Seamoss, Matcha, Bois Bande, etc)

    Over time you will get dry ejaculation and then take it from there.

  • Thanks for that , I do have and use the pump now and then and it does work with a couple of rings , the tablets give me a headache so not worth it for what they do. My fitness is ok but need to work harder at that !!! Snag is I have radiotherapy 20 sessions coming up for the cancer is rising again in the bed of the prostate , so will deal with it as it comes .

  • Well one of the best advice I ever got was ' never give up'.

    So am not giving up.

    The radiation these days seem to be better, more accurate and advance.

    But what about a lifestyle change - diet, no meat, no sugar, saw palmetto, Zinc, fasting, cleanse. 

    Combining traditional medicine with modern day medicine, starving the Cancer - Cancer likes sugar they say

  • Hello Lumpa

    I just wanted to reply to your comment about not consuming sugar to help starve cancer. This is a common myth about diet and cancer that is often reshared. 

    You might find it helpful to have a look at this article about sugar and cancer as well as this article that talks about a few common cancer-related myths. 

    I hope this helps.
