And my colleagues that do that work do some phenomenal work.

But we need to get better at the survivorship aspect of it.

And we need to get better at saying to those men, are your erections okay?

Because if they're not, please do not suffer in silence.

Come and tell us.

Because they need not only prehabilitation before their operation, but they need active rehabilitation.

Not some, but I would say, again, I'm biased, right?

Because I just see men that come to see me about erections and testicle problems.

But you're removing a really significant chunk of their life.

And if you've got a man, late 40s, early 50s,

well, hang on a minute, that's colossal.

You know, that is absolutely colossal.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, the penis is 100% a use it or lose it organ, you know, and...

People joke about that, but they shouldn't because, again, going back to that analogy that I made at the start, it's a vascular organ.

So if you don't get blood supply to it, then it's not going to do as well as if you do.

So in terms of let's go back to the prostatectomy patients, you know, what do you see in prostatectomy patients?

You see penile length loss and you see penile volume loss.

So when the patient comes to you in two to three years and they haven't been placed on a vacuum device, they haven't been placed on daily tablets, they've never had an injection.

No one's made a concerted effort to help this man.
