In this episode of Talk for Him: Ask the Expert series, we focus on two of the most common and challenging side effects experienced by men after prostate cancer treatment: urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
While prostate cancer treatments can be highly effective, some men continue to experience side effects that affect their quality of life long after treatment ends. Advances in surgical technologies are providing new options for men who have not achieved sufficient improvement through conservative treatments alone, helping many regain confidence, independence and quality of life. Boston Scientific has been a leader in developing technologies for urinary continence and erectile restoration.
Hosted by global moderator and cancer survivor Katie Clift, this conversation features urological surgeon Dr Rohan Hall from Boston Scientific. Together, they will discuss the surgical options available for men experiencing treatment-related side effects, who may benefit from these procedures, and what patients should know when considering their next steps.
