13 May, 2008
"Erectile Dysfunction and Incontinence
following Prostate Cancer Treatment"
Dr. Sydney Radomski
MD, FRCSC
Dr. Radomski made a
most delightful, informative and humorous
presentation to an
audience of over 50 members, wives and guests
at this meeting. Dr. Radomski's fame as well the subject of
his talk
accounted for more than our usual presence of couples - certainly
more women were visible, taking an active interest and coming
forth
with many a question for Dr. Radomski. It certainly confirms
what we have
always known - that despite the shyness surrounding this subject
erectile
dysfunction is quite prevalent and its treatment does hold
great interest
and importance to the quality of life for both partners alike.
In
the first part of presentation Dr. Radomski covered the causes
of ED
and presented comparative occurrence statistics related to
different types of Prostate
cancer treatment. He then described and compared the treatment
options
using different types of pills, such as Viagra and Cialis,
MUSE, injections, pumps and
inflatable penile prostheses, discussing in detail their use
and side effects.
The
2nd part of his talk dealt with Incontinence following Prostate
cancer treatment.
Once again Dr. Radomski explained the types and causes of
Incontinence, it severity,
and compared the outcomes with different types of prostate
cancer treatment.
He went to compare the different treatment options from the
simple
to the more complex surgical procedures such as slings and
implants and their effectiveness.
Most of these treatments have improved greatly over the years
making Incontinence
treatment vastly better manageable today.
Quoting
many funny anecdotes and stories from real life, Dr. Radomski's
humorous
style kept the crowd roaring with laughter throughout.
His parting message to the crowd was to go home and have sex!
We
had an excellent question and answer session, except a power
outage
20 minutes prior to closure of the session caused an early
termination to the evening
The building management requested us all to vacate for security
reasons.
As result of the power glitch the Q& A digital recording
file was unfortunately corrupted.
We are however able to provide the complete talk recordings
and
the presentation slides for this session.
