Erectile Dysfunction


by: MGC on Tue, Aug 14 2007

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer 7 years ago. As a result his prostate was removed with assurances that the surgery would spare vital nerves. That was not the case. He has not been able to achieve and erection since even with the help of medication. He tried the injections for a time, but did not like the needles. I have attempted to introduce him to info on surgical remedies but he is not receptive. Our sex life is non existent. I love him and want to help him through this, but he has shut down.

I would recommend cognitive behavioral therapy, which has been shown to be effective in treating anxiety disorders. [more..]
