There are times when it might be necessary to remove your prostate gland, especially if you are suffering from prostate cancer. Well, while it becomes a necessity at one point in time, life after a prostate surgery whether laparoscopic or robotic might not be the same. While the quality of life of the person doesn t change once he undergoes a prostate surgery (removal of the entire gland), however, the surgery might have some side effects that can bother him, says Dr Anup Ramani, uro-oncological robotic surgeon. Here he speaks about how life is after a prostate surgery: Also Read - Prostate cancer: Bring down you risk of this condition by having several cups of coffee a day

It can hamper one s sexual life: However, this doesn t happen with everyone. Know that prostate is a reproductive organ that produces semen and also contributes towards erection. So post surgery, some men might have problems having an erection, but this isn t true for everyone. Also, if this happens it is easily treated with medications like Viagra, etc. by an andrologist.

You can have dry orgasms: Since the prostate is associated with the production of semen, once removed there are chances that one might experience dry orgasms.

It doesn t affect the testosterone levels: Many people believe that removal of the prostate can have an impact on a man s testosterone levels. However, testosterone or the male sexual hormone is made in the testicles and not the prostate. So even after the removal of the prostate the levels of testosterone hormone don t go down. A man undergoing a prostate surgery might not have to suffer from symptoms of low testosterone. In fact, the hormone testosterone acts as a fuel for prostate cancer. It makes the cancer cells divide and multiply at a faster pace. For people who aren t fit for a prostate cancer surgery (usually, 80 and above), removal of testicles are suggested to help the cancer go into remission.
