Reply to "Removal of Rectum J-Pouch & Sexual Dysfunction ??"

I have a loooong story with lots of factors but here's the abridged version...

I had a sub-total colectomy in 2011, delayed j-pouch decision until this year. I decided against j-pouch and had proctectomy surgery at the end of May. Previous to that I had my first girlfriend in 15 years and sexual performance was excellent. After surgery not so much. I could get aroused but couldn't maintain an erection and could ejaculate without a full erection.

While it seems logical the problem is related to the surgery I'm not convinced. I've had a few emotion-related ED situations many years ago and my girlfriend and I were going through some difficulties around the time of the proctectomy surgery. I'm working on the ED problem physically (urologist), neurologically (chiropractic neurologist), hormonally (having tests this week) and emotionally (psychotherapy). It's a complicated physiological process and difficult to pinpoint but -- get this -- a single Viagra pill, rather than the 3 to 5 which are prescribed, allows me to achieve an erection.
