• Urinary, Sexual, and Bowel Dysfunction and Bother after Radical Prostatectomy

Weber BA, Roberts BL, Chumbler NR, Mills TL, Algood CB. Urol Nurs. 2007 Dec;27(6):527-33

Seventy - two men were surveyed six weeks after radical prostatectomy about the physical side effects they experienced after the procedure. The study found that sexual dysfunction was the most prevalent treat side effect but that urinary dysfunction was the most bothersome. The study recommends better patient education about the physical symptoms and both produced after radical prostatectomy.
