Prostate Cancer
Use the Erec-Tech to Restore Sexual Function Following Your Prostate Cancer Treatment
One of the primary goals in treating prostate cancer is to have each patient return to pre-operative sexual function following the surgery. Because of the nature of the surgery, the neurovascular bundles are traumatized in surgery and the recovery process requires a rehabilitation time frame.
The Pos-T-Vac Medical Erec-Tech is typically prescribed and used daily to physically rehabilitate the smooth muscle tissue and to insure that proper oxygenated blood flow levels are maintained. By using Erect-Tech, patients will reduce their chance of atrophy and fibrosis. In doing this, the penis will maintain a healthier state during the period of neuropraxia following surgery. In addition, the vacuum therapy system may reduce chances of penile shrinkage and encourage a quicker return to pre-operative sexual function.
Here are a number of reasons why patients should begin using the Erec-Tech vacuum therapy system as soon as possible, and that may be four to eight weeks after surgery:
- Vacuum Therapy may assist in preventing penile shrinkage and maintaining penile length
- Vacuum Therapy improves both patient and partner sexual satisfaction and allows for earlier return of spontaneous erections
- Vacuum Therapy is the most cost effective of all treatments and routinely reimbursed by Medicare and most health insurance
In addition to therapeutic uses, the Erec-Tech may be used at anytime to produce an instant erection sufficient for intercourse.
