“…However, again this was not directly assessed in the current study. The findings of Davison et al [36] are consistent with this hypothesis. These authors reported that enhancement of erectile function and understanding of sexual changes associated with treatment were the two main concerns of men attending a prostate cancer sexual rehabilitation clinic.…”

Dyadic adjustment, threat appraisal and coping style play a significant role in the long-term psychological adjustment of prostate cancer patients. The results of the current study indicate that the use of emotion-focussed coping to manage sexual bother appears to result in poor psychological adjustment, which indicates the need for further education or intervention to manage sexual dysfunction. ETHICS CLEARANCE: Human ethics approval was granted from Southern Health, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Monash University Ethics Committee before commencement of data collection.

et al. 2009

Prostate cancer affects one in six American men. Erectile and sexual dysfunctions are long-term side effects of prostate cancer treatment. PubMed database was searched for papers on prostate cancer-related sexual recovery for men and couples. The search yielded articles on (1) the treatment of erectile dysfunction, (2) men's psychological and culturally diverse adaptation to the sexual side effects; (3) the impact of prostate cancer on couples' relationships; and (4) interventions to promote sexual function. Erectile dysfunction after prostate cancer treatment has been widely studied.Research on the sexual recovery of men and couples or understanding it in a cultural context is scarce. Greater focus on the impact of sexual sequelae of prostate cancer treatment on men as well as couples in diverse groups is needed. Clinical implications for treating sexual dysfunction and promoting sexual recovery for prostate cancer survivors and their partners are discussed. Recommendations for future research are provided.

“…Initial research on intervention in the psycho-sexual aspects of recovery from prostate cancer treatment suggests that being informed and supported assists with coping. [77][78][79][80] In a study by Titta et al, 81 counseling successfully supported adherence to ED treatment after prostate cancer treatment. But sexual intimacy is not purely dependent on erection.…”

Counseling patients about sexual health when considering post-prostatectomy radiation treatment

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. Many men with clinically localized prostate cancer survive for 15 years or more. Although early detection and successful definitive treatments are increasingly common, a debate regarding how aggressively to treat prostate cancer is ongoing because of the effect of aggressive treatment on the quality of life, including sexual functioning. We examined current research on the effect of post-prostatectomy radiation treatment on sexual functioning, and suggest a way in which patient desired outcomes might be taken into consideration while making decisions with regard to the timing of radiation therapy after prostatectomy.
