Basically all types of prostate cancer can cause erectile dysfunction(ED) in a man. When radiation therapy is performed in order to remove the cancerous prostate gland, the nerves responsible for erection gets severely damaged. An extensive exposure of the prostate to radiation therapy will lead to blockage of blood flow into the male penile organ by damaging the penile arteries and this would eventually lead to lack of desire for sex and inability to get a full erection which leads to impotence. In addition to impotence a man can occur a condition of urinary incontinence as well. Urinary incontinence is mostly referred to as leakage of urine without the patient knowing about it. This condition is also referred to as OB(Over active Bladder).
But in cases where the exposure of radiation was severe this normally does not work as the penis shrinks due to over-exposure of radiation and the patients loose the desire to have sex in such cases treatments like Penile Implants and Penile Injection therapy are proved to be useful. Penile implants are more commonly used as the procedure is relatively safer and longlasting.But it is better suggested to start using a Generic Viagra for a certain amount of time as it is proven to be affective in more than 40% of cases.
