Penile Rehabilitation After
Prostate Surgery

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection therapy promotes tissue and blood vessel regeneration and enhances recovery from surgery. We inject concentrated platelets made from your own blood into your penis. This effective, all-natural erectile dysfunction treatment stimulates blood vessel proliferation and tissue rejuvenation in the penis.

First we concentrate your platelets up to 5 times to what naturally occurs in your bloodstream. We use anesthetics to prepare the penis for virtually painless injection. Then we activate the platelets and inject them into the penis. Upon activation and injection, they recruit stem cells and release vascular growth factors. Those stem cells serve as building blocks to the new blood vessels you’re trying to grow, turning into blood vessel cells.

PRP also improves sensitivity which helps retain orgasmic function by building small nerves in the penis and making a successful orgasm more likely.

Studies show that low-intensity shockwave treatments can speed up the healing process after your prostate surgery or intervention. The targeted sound waves used in our clinic activate penile tissue and encourage blood flow. It works by causing a microtrauma in the penis to wake up the body’s healing mechanisms. Shockwave encourages healing cells to migrate to the penis from all around the body.

Trimix is a mixture of three ingredients: alprostadil, phentolamine, and papaverine. This vasodilator injection therapy increases nitric oxide levels in the penis, causing smooth muscles to relax and opening the valves for improved blood flow. For many patients, Trimix can immediately restore their erections.

Botulinum neurotoxin (Botox) is a neuromodulator produced by the bacterium clostridium A. It temporarily relaxes the smooth muscles in the walls of the blood vessels carrying blood to the penis. It blocks the nerve impulses sent to the vessel walls, which are normally in a constricted state.

After the Botox they are left in a relaxed state with a wider diameter so they are able to carry a greater volume of blood. This increased blood flow improves erections.

We use vacuum erection devices (VEDs) to help patients gain and maintain an erection. 

VEDs are pneumatic devices which use negative pressure to open up the existing tissue in the penis. They help patients gain and maintain an erection and are used in combination with our other treatments to treat your sexual health from multiple angles.

Vacuum erection devices are particularly valuable for preventing penis shortening because they stretch the tissue repeatedly using mechanical forces.

Oral medicines such as Cialis, Viagra and Levitra are commonly used after prostate surgery to help restore erectile function and blood flow to the penis. Often, these medications alone are not enough to reestablish consistent erections, and effectiveness can vary between patients. When used in conjunction with our other treatments, however, they can be helpful in supporting erectile function.

Post-operative complications like erectile dysfunction and penis shortening often include a psychological component. Patients may experience a depressed mood or anxiety after prostate surgery. Couples may also experience additional challenges and stress.

We usually recommend psychological support during your recovery process. Speaking with a professional can help you maintain your sexual function and a healthy outlook. We can connect you with a certified sex therapist.
