If so, you will be allocated an appointment to come and see us in Urology Physiotherapy prior to your surgery. This appointment is to discuss pelvic floor exercises and the effects that the surgery will have on your waterworks.
Whilst you wait for this appointment, please look through the video below that covers some of the content that we discuss in the appointment. It will also allow you to get started on your pelvic floor exercsies nice and early!

What can you do?
Erectile Dysfunction Service
Erectile dysfunction is not being able to gain or maintain an erection. Premature ejaculation is ejaculation during sexual activity sooner than you or your partner would like. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that pelvic floor exercises can help with sexual problems. Please watch the videos and look at the Prostate Scotland pelvic floor exercsies leaflet to help you in finding your pelvic floor muscles and getting started with the exercises.
Following your surgery you may wish to be referred to our erectile dsyfunction service. Please see the details below for our team members:
Scott Little (Prostate Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist): 0131 5371097
Alasdair Innes (Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Urology) : 0131 5371309
