If you can achieve an erection 8 months after surgery,

you are doing well.

It has been over a year and a half for me, and I am just

starting to get back " normal function " . I've had good

results with the daily 5mg of Cialis. I don't have to

take it every day. To answer your question, it does

seem to last... and stay with me longer than the advertised

length of time. I also, wondered if I needed it at all.

Some experimentation proved I did still need a little

help from the drug.

Good Luck,

Ron

G.If I take one 20mg dose after not using Cialis for a while it seems to last about two full days (48 hours). If I take a much smaller dose, like about 5mg (I split the 20mg pills into four parts so my dosages are not exact, but pretty close) a day for several days however, I find that the effect is more or less perpetual, even when I skip a day here and there. It is, therefore, cheaper and more natural for me to try to take about 5mg per day.I had nerve sparing DaVinci LRP in September of 2007.JSubject: How long does Cialis stay in the body?To:

I am using 10mg Cialis. I know it advertises to last up to 36 hours. I

have had good success up to 60 hours.

I took a dose Tuesday night before sex with my wife. We woke up

Saturday morning and she was feeling a little

"frisky". I was concerned I could not "perform". Well I was amazed to

find out I could get a full erection that left us

both very happy !! Now this was over 80 hours after taking the 10mg

dose. I do not know if the lingering Cialis is doing the

trick or if the natural erections are coming back.

How long after surgery did it take for Cialis to start working for you?

Hi D.,I am 14 months post Da Vinci robotic radical prostatectomy. I had my surgery at Northwestern University Medical Center in Chicago at

the hands of a renowned expert who has performed over 300 Da Vinci

procedures. I was 56 at the time of the surgery and in excellent

health overall. My Gleason was 3+4. Negative DRE. One positive

sample out of 16 taken during my biopsy. Cancer contained within the

capsule. I had a full nerve sparing procedure which lasted over 6

hours. I was very active sexually prior to surgery with no

incontinence. I am a runner / outdoors enthusiast who is in excellent

shape. I am an ex-marine and have always been motivated to excel in

anything I do. For several months prior to surgery I performed up to 200 kegals per day.

I was released from the hospital about 24 hours after the end of

my surgery. I had a catheter for about 8 days. When the catheter was

removed I went for about two weeks with intermittent urinary control.

During that period I used fewer than 5 adult diapers and a few small

pads. I have had zero problems with incontinence since the month

following my surgery.

ED has been a different story. I tried MUSE and like EVERYONE

else, it was worthless. Unlike several other users, I did not really

experience anything beyond mild irritation or discomfort while using it

but I did not get any beneficial effect. I have spent hundreds and

hundreds of dollars out of my pocket for Cialis and Viagra during the

past 14 months as part of the prescribed rehab program. I was unable

to achieve an erection suitable for intercourse during the first 4 or 5

months post surgery (and I REALLY tried (smile)). In months 6 through

12 I showed steady but slow improvement. At 14 months I am hopeful

that my progress will continue and not plateau as it is only recently that I

have returned to some semblance of my presurgery self. I have an

appointment in early January with an ED specialist at Northwestern to

try injection therapies if my progress seems to slow down between now

and then. In specific answer to your question, the Cialis has been working well for about 4 months. Doing the math, I would say I was obtaining satisfactory results about 10 months post surgery.

My wife has been (and is) great. She is playful, supportive,

innovative, available and sexy as hell (ok..maybe hell is not all that

sexy but you get my point). My illness and recovery has only drawn us

closer emotionally and, what might be surprising to couples that have

never experienced PC induced ED, drawn us closer physically. I am not

complaining at all. I know where I am on the spectrum of possible

surgical outcomes and recognize I am doing better than the normOh yeah...14 months and my PSA is 0.0. I do realize that in the end, that's what it's all about.

Peace and sincere best wishes,

Ah yes, the issue of potency. I had davinci prostatectomy over 2 months ago. The incontinence is all but gone now (thank god for that). The ED remains. I was doing ok with trimix injections but for some reason they are painful and I want to try bimix to see if pain will go away. ONLY TODAY DID I NOTICE SOME SIGNS OF SPONTANEOUS ERECTIONS. I have said nothing to my wife for fear of getting her hopes up for nothing. I have resigned myself to using some kind of injection (bimix versus trimix) the rest of my life for some kind of sex life. I too am lucky in the sense that I have a wife who is patient, if I was out on the dating scene I'm not sure I would know how to explain to a lady, oh, excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom, then I'll be back to continue this experience. My first post-prostatectomy PSA was .01. I hope it stays down at this level and I don't have to have salvage radiation............. Carroll
