They'll come back and they'll say, Doc, you know, I know you probably think this is my head, but I think my penis is smaller.

It's not in their head.

There's well-documented literature to show that after a radical prostatectomy, men will lose penile size.

Of course it does.

So now you've got a man who, you know, they look down and they think, gosh, I've had this really significant operation.

Only I know how that feels.

I don't feel drastically different otherwise.

Still feel pretty young, actually.

I still have libido.

I still want to engage in intimacy.

And I look down and my penis looks smaller.

I'm not developing erections.

And I really don't know what to do.

And so I would say to anybody in that scenario, you've got to go and see an andrologist, which is the thing that I do, a men's health surgeon, a reproductive sexual health surgeon, and say, look, I need some help here.

And you will get help.

You will get help.

And I say to my patients who are using vacuum devices after a radical prostatectomy,

I'm not giving you this device for you to develop an erection.

Consider it physiotherapy for your penis.

That's what it is.
