Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

Have an understanding partner. Use of erection enhancing medication helps. Enjoy other areas of intimate pleasure and not just focus on intercourse.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

It meant I am alive - as such any side effects during or after treatment are acceptable.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

Each type of treatment comes with some similar and some different outcomes and side effects. Having been through one type of treatment, which was successful, I'd be able to have a better understanding of the options and outcomes if I had to go through it again.
