Prostate cancer comes with very few symptoms. Most of the times, the indications like frequent urination, less flow, lesser sperm volume, etc. happen due to aging. Sadly, they were often ignored in the phase of already stressed lives.

But when the news of prostate cancer comes as a physical and psychological shock to men, it has to be handled carefully by both the partners.

For most of the men, post-surgery brings the feeling of lesser manhood or a loss to their pride and joy.  As they face ED for a couple of months after the surgery, it brings them down to a level when they start feeling incapable of receiving or delivering sexual pleasure.

The tension level for this feeling prior to the surgery can be so high in some men that they either delay or deny to get the surgery done at all.

At this time, proper guidance and support from the family are required for the benefit of all. And as an individual too, one should be firm enough to handle hurdles like these. They evaporate if handled strongly but remain forever if mishandled.

With the assumption of being less proficient and less pleasurable in bed with their partners, men lose their chance and time to impress women with rest of the pleasures except penetration.  

It is this time when 'a woman behind every successful man' has to show her talent of managing the situation no matter how difficult it is. Men, at this time, need care like babies and counseling like adolescents.

The woman can make her man psychologically strong and guide him to what gives her satisfaction. She can involve him in the conversation of what she fantasizes about him while he is away, or how she would relish being desired by him.

She can also award him a lap dance or a strip tease show or surprise him in a lingerie set that he'd love to tear apart.

Mostly, the orgasm is confused with erection and ejaculation which cannot be stated as entire truth. It's because of the pressure of being good in bed that men ignore the fact that orgasm can be felt and enjoyed without erection too.

A lot of stress after prostate cancer surgery can be sorted by talking openly and frequently to the doctor and the partner. One must take it as a challenge and not a disability in order to move ahead happily in life.

It absolutely depends on the man if he wishes to stay sad and low and make his family sadder or stay strong and happy and make his family happier.
