Cialis also beneficial for curing impotence after prostatectomy
August 07, 2007

Prostatectomy is a delicate surgery and frequently affects the nearby urinary sphincter and the nerves that allow men to have erections. As a result, most men experience some form of urinary incontinence and impotence (also known as erectile dysfunction, or ED) after a prostatectomy.

This is one of the reasons that why people can suffer from erectile dysfunction. Bilateral nerve-sparing prostatectomy, which preserves the nerve bundles on either side of the prostate, has improved rates of erectile dysfunction after surgery. In the best surgical hands, about 75 percent of all patients who go through this procedure will recover potency within 12 to 14 months after surgery, according to Dr. Klein.

Others can recover sexual function with the help of erectile dysfunction drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra). Many urologists suggest using these medications immediately after surgery to promote an early return of erections. Though each drug has its benefit a person can easily chose its erectile dysfunction drug depends upon its choice.

Cialis is commonly referred as weekend pill, due to its long-lasting consequence on men. It is a prescription-only erectile dysfunction drug. Another drugs levitra and Viagra works for 4 hours when taken before sexual activity.
