Enlarged Prostate Surgery, Pros And Cons.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Brighton, England, United Kingdom

Im trying to decide whether or not to have Prostate Surgery. Tests have shown for my Prostate to be very enlarged but not cancerous. Theres a 10 percent risk from Prostate Surgery of a complete loss of sexual functions, and 24 hour Bladder Incontinence. In addition to this the risks of General Anaesthetic need to be born in mind. ie not waking up ever again

Mark7777. Aging. I'm 76 yrs. young. I have several health conditions that I'm prescribed medications for including HIV, GERD, HPV, cholesterol, hypertension, kidney monitoring, etc. Also, mental health is an issue where I was sexually abused during high school and college. I live alone but connect with others (friends and relatives) via zoom, skype, facetime, txt, emails, etc. Actively work out with weights and maintain muscle mass and keep weight in check. Healthy diet (I love sugar but keep this in check) with lots of fruits and vegetables. Protein is important however. Porn helps keep my libido active and consistent. People are judgmental about this but for some of us, its a useful tool for maintaining good/active health. Hope this helps.
