Do any of the ED meds work? Struggling with intimacy during prostate cancer treatment

Hi @Rsmith21845, how are you holding up today?

Thank you so much for opening up about such a personal and important topic. 💙 While intimacy issues during prostate cancer treatment are common, not all ED medications work the same way when hormone therapy is involved, some options may be more effective depending on how your body responds to treatment. It's also important to know that timing, dosage, and combination approaches (like low-dose meds plus therapy) can sometimes make a difference.

To help you gather more firsthand experiences, I’ve slightly changed the title to make it easier for other members to find and join the discussion, and I'm tagging some members who might have insights to share:
