Brief Answer:
If the nerves are severed during surgery Ed problem will be permanent .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Normally during radical surgery for cancer of bladder and prostate every efforts are made to preserve the nerves or to avoid injury to these nerves but sometimes it is technically unavoidable to preserve these nerves that results in permanent problem of Ed.Your Urologist who has operated upon is the best person to explain you .
At the end we have to accept that eradicating cancer is more important than to preserve Erectile function .
You can try intracavernosal injection of Alprostadil to get erection and have enjoyable sex.
