If a patient is fully potent prior to CHB and/or seeding, what is the likelihood of regaining/retaining potency in the short and long term after SI?
In a patient questionnaire sent out several years ago, 20-25% of men fully potent prior to implantation became impotent (unable to achieve erection). Another 20-25% experienced a decreased in the firmness or durability but were still able to penetrate. Even with inability to achieve erection, men were often able to climax. We are currently taking more detailed histories of patients so that we can report more accurately for each individual the risks involved.
