The most common complications of the surgery are erectile dysfunction and the inability to hold urine. However, the surgical procedure has advanced to a stage where it’s become possible to manage these symptoms effectively. Incontinence is rare, but a possibility. Removal of the prostate doesn’t affect your quality of life, as it is not an essential organ. Once your reproductive life is over, there is no need for a prostate. If you experience any problem with urination or the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, contact Dr. Soumyan Dey for effective cancer treatment.
