Read More »After prostatectomy, which refers to the surgical removal of the prostate gland, many people can function sexually and still climax. However, not all of them do, and some may find that their orgasms change. Removing the prostate eliminates the ability to ejaculate during sex. The seminal vesicles make up about 60% of ejaculate volume, while the prostate makes up most of the rest. A surgeon will remove both the prostate and the seminal vesicles during radical prostatectomy . Therefore, after this procedure, most males will experience dry orgasms. Radical prostatectomy may cause some degree of erectile dysfunction. This is because surgery can damage the nerves that support normal erectile function. Males who undergo prostate removal may need medical and psychological support to deal with these changes and maximize sexual function. This article will discuss what dry orgasms are, how prostatectomy affects orgasms, and some tips that may help improve orgasms and sexual function. Dry orgasms after prostatectomy Share on Pinterest A male’s experience of orgasm may change after prostate removal. A male may require prostate surgery due to the enlargement of the prostate gland or to treat prostate cancer. Some procedures, such as transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), will only remove a portion of the prostate gland. However, radical prostatectomy removes the entire prostate, plus the seminal vesicles and sometimes the pelvic lymph nodes. After this operation, a male will no longer be able to ejaculate. This is due to the removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles, which make the fluid in semen. Other prostate operations, such as TURP, do not generally affect ejaculation. Lack of ejaculation does not mean that a male can no longer orgasm. Many will start to have “dry” orgasms, which are orgasms without ejaculation. Some may notice that they produce a small amount of fluid before or during orgasm. This is fluid from glands in the urethra. It will be a much smaller amount than a standard ejaculation produces. Male orgasm basics Many males believe that ejaculation is synonymous with orgasm. However, ejaculation does not have to happen for a person to orgasm. Normally, sexual arousal sends signals to increase blood flow to the penis. This leads to an erection. As arousal intensifies, a male gets closer to orgasm. Most ejaculate when they orgasm, though doing so is neither inevitable nor necessary for orgasm. Undergoing surgery to remove the prostate will likely damage some of the nerve endings surrounding the prostate. This can disrupt the body’s ability to communicate signals about arousal, enabling an erection. Even if a male does not experience erectile dysfunction following surgery to remove the prostate and seminal vesicles, they can no longer ejaculate. Males can still orgasm, though they might require help or medication to do so. Most report some degree of erectile difficulty after undergoing radical prostatectomy. Tips to improve and recover orgasms Males should allow time to fully heal before attempting sex. They can ask a doctor how long healing will take. Some strategies that can help with regaining sexual function after healing include : Taking medications: Taking medications for erectile dysfunction can help males who are otherwise unable to get an erection reach orgasm. These medications support blood flow to the penis and can ease many causes of erectile dysfunction.

Getting penile implants: This is a type of surgery that may restore a male’s ability to get erections through the use of silicone rods or inflatable devices. It may also be worth considering different types of therapy, including sex therapy and physical therapy. Sex therapy can help couples enjoy sex, learn new sexual strategies, and communicate more effectively following surgery, while physical therapy can help a male overcome any physical injuries associated with prostate removal.
