Reviving intimacy: Penile rehabilitation strategies for men after prostate cancer treatment

Abstract

There have been considerable advances in the field of penile rehabilitation for upwards of 90% of men adversely affected by either short-term or long-term erectile dysfunction after definitive prostate cancer treatment. Despite the evolving landscape of treatment modalities for penile rehabilitation, there is a lack of consensus in the urologic community on the best therapies due to the level of evidence and efficacies of the current and emerging offerings. This review of current and next-generation interventions provides a practical approach to the myriad of data to make a better-informed decision based on the pathophysiology and highest-quality evidence available.
