Would removal of the prostate result in erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Removal of prostate can happen with or without removal of surrounding nerves based on the patient's condition. Persons whose nerves are spared may have erectile dysfunction for mostly 2 years or so post surgery which regains back slowly. Persons whose nerves are removed may have permanent erection issues and may need medications for it.

I've got a penis that's 6 inches in length, and I'm curious if this is enough to satisfy a partner. Also, is there any chance it can grow more since I'm already past 20?
A 6-inch penis length is within the average range, and it is generally considered sufficient for sexual satisfaction. After 20 years of age, significant natural growth is unlikely, as most growth occurs during puberty. Satisfaction in sexual relationships is more about emotional connection and communication than size.
