Evidence status: IndividualisedPenile Rehabilitation Programme
What is penile rehabilitation?
Penile rehabilitation is a structured plan to support erectile function and penile tissue health, most often after prostate surgery or other pelvic procedures, but also for men who want a planned approach to ED. It may combine medication, devices and other therapies, chosen after assessment. Outcomes vary, and no result can be guaranteed.

A patient coordinator contacts you
The coordinator explains the next steps and arranges a consultation. Medical suitability is decided by the doctor, not by the form.

Frequently asked questions
Is penile rehabilitation guaranteed to restore erections?
No treatment can be guaranteed to work for every man, and suitability and expected benefit vary between patients.
When should rehabilitation start after surgery?
Timing is individualised. Ask your surgeon or the clinic's urologist.
Does rehabilitation involve regenerative therapies?
Only when they are appropriate and you have given informed consent. The 2026 European Association of Urology (EAU) guideline says intracavernosal PRP for erectile dysfunction should be used only in a clinical-trial setting.
