broadly, potency will most likely be a gradual process although some patients have reported immediate results - even getting a full erection in hospital days after surgery. don't let this worry you, though. it isn't the norm. your surgeon spared the nerves but there is likely to be nerve damage which can take up to a few years to fully heal. im a year out of suregry now with the nerve sparing and I can just about manage an erection without meds now that's suitable for penetration. it's taken a while. my doc advocates begininng regular erection meds at 6 weeks to stimulate blood flow and get things moving down there again. i tried levitra, viagra and cialis but cialis is the one ive stayed with. ive also tried caverject which is good if the nerve sparing wasn't completely up to the job as it gives you a rock hard chemical erection. it's not as scary as it sounds but you'll probably want to take the gentler meds first.

all the best

Hello. Just a quick question, I'm three months post cystectomy. My surgen told me that he had managed to spare my nerves. So far there is no sign of any potency - my question is: does potency happen gradually with small steps or is it something that
will happen suddenly. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Winning the battle :-)
