A surgical procedure for the treatment of prostate cancer, involving the removal of the prostate gland.
There is no credible scientific evidence that can fix, shrink, or medically treat an enlarged prostate (); clinical and urology sources explicitly state the ointment has no role in prostate care and w...
after is proposed to preserve penile length and tissue oxygenation and to aid erectile-function recovery; most clinical trials show clearer benefit for penile-size preservation than for spontaneous-er...
Gleason score and PSA doubling time (PSADT) are strong, largely independent predictors of metastatic progression after radical prostatectomy, with higher Gleason grades and shorter PSADTs both linked ...
can, in some patients, produce measurable PSA after and thereby complicate post‑operative surveillance, but the weight of contemporary evidence and guideline practice treats most persistent or rising ...
for both safety and comfort during prostate massage because the prostate sits a few inches inside the rectum and responds differently to gentle, targeted pressure than to blunt, deep or wide stimulati...
Penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy is a set of interventions intended to preserve penile tissue health and improve the chances of recovering spontaneous erections by counteracting post‑...

and appearance commonly change with age due to lower testosterone, reduced blood flow, loss of skin elasticity and fat redistribution—changes that are often mild but can be distressing; some of these ...
after relies on a combination of blood testing, advanced imaging, and targeted tissue sampling: prompt investigation, characterizes suspicious post‑surgical tissue, and provides histologic confirmatio...
(PSADT) is derived from the slope of the log-transformed PSA values over time and is conventionally calculated as ln divided by that slope; clinical calculators implement this log‑slope method and equ...

A range of non‑surgical conditions and treatments can reproduce the constellation of —diminished intensity, “dry” orgasms, painful orgasm, or orgasm‑associated leakage—that is often attributed to ; ke...
Peer‑reviewed research indicates that (VEDs) produce measurable hemodynamic and histologic changes in penile tissue that can counteract hypoxia‑driven fibrosis after nerve injury or , and several rand...
Clinicians distinguish from versus by integrating clinical context (symptoms and signs of infection), PSA magnitude and dynamics (absolute level and velocity), adjunctive laboratory metrics (free-to-t...
and can cause measurable rises in prostate‑specific antigen (PSA) even after the prostate has been removed, primarily by causing inflammation or infection that increases PSA leakage from residual pros...
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is a powerful tool for localizing recurrence after radical prostatectomy, but its sensitivity is strongly influenced by the absolute PSA at biochemical recurrence and by PS...
Evidence positions oral PDE5 inhibitors as the first‑line, usually effective pharmacologic therapy for erectile dysfunction, but with a sizable nonresponder rate and heterogenous long‑term benefit dat...
Peer‑reviewed clinical studies of vacuum erection devices (VEDs) as penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy include small randomized controlled trials, prospective controlled trials, pilot p...
