Erectile Dysfunction After Prostate Surgery: Recovery and Options

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) after prostate surgery is a common concern for many men. If you're looking for solutions, you've come to the right place. You can get a prescription for ED medication like sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis) online from an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor. Our process is simple: a €25 online consultation, a prescription issued in under 24 hours if appropriate, and it's valid at any pharmacy in the EU. There's no risk — if the doctor determines treatment is not suitable, you get your money back.

How it works — get your ED medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire in just 2–3 minutes and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk, you pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for ED medication after prostate surgery

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if medications for erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil or tadalafil, are appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness. This includes your medical history, the type of prostate surgery you underwent (e.g., nerve-sparing vs. non-nerve-sparing), your current health status, and any other medications you are taking. Certain pre-existing conditions or interactions might make these medications unsuitable. The doctor's assessment ensures that the treatment aligns with your needs and health profile.

What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are known as PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated. This helps you achieve and maintain an erection. They do not cause an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required. Sildenafil typically works within 30-60 minutes and lasts for about 4-6 hours, while tadalafil can last up to 36 hours. These medications are effective for many men experiencing ED after prostate surgery, but they are not a cure for the underlying cause of ED. They manage the symptoms, allowing for satisfactory sexual activity.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of PDE5 inhibitors include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. However, certain red flags require immediate medical attention: a sudden loss of vision or hearing, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). You should also stop the medication and consult your doctor if you experience chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sexual activity. Always discuss your full medical history with your doctor before starting treatment, especially if you have heart conditions or take nitrates.
