About Prostate Cancer Survivorship Program
Coping with the emotional impact of cancer can be challenging, and treatment often affects sexual function and pelvic health. At Central Ohio Urology Group, our specialists are experienced in addressing concerns such as decreased libido following cancer care. We are dedicated to helping you and your partner navigate this part of survivorship and reclaim a fulfilling personal life.
Our Prostate Cancer Survivorship Program provides a roadmap to help you return to your sexual function after prostate cancer. We believe that quality of life matters just as much as treatment. Our physicians and advanced practice providers work with each patient to prepare a thoughtful and personalized recovery plan for surgery and recovery, helping men achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our Survivorship Program is designed to guide patients through a clear, progressive path toward restoring sexual and urinary function following cancer treatment.
There are multiple, highly individualized factors that may influence the recovery process. These unique elements include the desire for sexual activity, partner interest, pre-treatment sexual function, existing medical conditions and the presence of any anxiety or depression. Therefore, the roadmaps we follow should be considered a starting point.
A customized plan
Our Care Team creates a tailored recovery plan for every man, taking into account his unique medical needs and personal goals. Because the pace of healing and return to sexual activity and urine control can vary widely, we provide a customized timeline and guided roadmap to offer clarity, support, and confidence at every step of your recovery journey.
There are three elements of the surgical consultation:
- Preserve your erectile function and bladder control by embracing a proactive approach.
- Prepare yourself for surgery by engaging in a thorough preoperative assessment, seeking clarity on the procedure, and fostering a supportive environment that eases your mind and boosts your confidence.
- Regain your erectile function and bladder control through a dedicated recovery plan that includes personalized therapies, behavioral strategies, and a strong network of support to enhance your healing journey and restore vitality.
