1. Prostate massage?
2. If you had a prostatectomy then the erections are bye bye....on to the penile implant - pump pump for the hump hump, injections are also available....technology today can help you at any age....
3. Current thinking is that regular usage of ED medications like Levitra or Viagra will speed return of erectile function. Many doctors will prescribe 1/2 tablet of Viagra or similar every day for a month or two following surgery. Insurance companies don't like to pay for this. If this doesn't help, there are injectable drugs that can trigger an erection, as well as vacuum pumps. The idea is to keep the tissue stimulated to encourage nerve growth. In many cases, the nerve damage is too severe to allow full recovery. There are implants that can help with this condition.
