Using Viagra Soon After Prostate Treatment Can Really Help You

17 January 2007 (Wednesday)

After a particular type of treatment called brachytherapy for prostate cancer using a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor like Viagra within the first year after treatment can really have a big impact on lessening the chances of long term erectile dysfunction. A study that was carried out by scientists at the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in New York saw that it helped if the Viagra was taken as soon as possible in the first year rather than waiting for sometime before using it. The obvious conclusion was that Viagra helped men with erectile dysfunction after the treatment for prostate cancer but the researchers were surprised to find that the Viagra has a decreasing success rate as time went on.

Over 200 men were examined for the study all of whom had undergone brachytherapy and then made use of either one of the PDE-5’s Viagra or Levitra. Some of the men (85) used the Viagra or Levitra within one year and the other group (125) waited one year before starting the treatment.

At baseline and at 12-months the Sexual Health Inventory for Men scores of the 2 groups were deemed not to be significantly statistically different but at the 18 to 36 month period those men that had used the Viagra and Levitra at an earlier time after their treatment for prostate cancer had a definite improvement. It was clear that the early takers had “sustained improvements in erectile function” according to the researchers that the later takers of the erectile dysfunction drugs did not have.

The researchers believe that the use of the PDE-5 drugs can actually help in the preservation of the endothelium that exists in the erectile tissue of the penis and which helps to keep penile blood flow at an optimum level. The use of the drugs is also likely to help prevent corporal fibrosis that can cause impotence too and which often occurs after treatment with radiotherapy.

This study could lead doctors to encouraging men to use ED drugs as soon as possible after brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
