Since overcoming ED is my major focus these days....
Given the cavernosal nerves (erection nerves), supply the smooth muscle of the penis with nitric oxide (allowing the tissue to relax, followed by blood flow to the lacunar spaces) -- is there a method to test for nitric oxide in the body? Would such a test predict the success of nerve sparing following radical prostatectomy?
My Urologist has not tested my testosterone level. Is it pretty standard for PCa patients (post RP) to be tested? (Literature says the results would easily determine physical vs psychological factors relating to sex drive).

The nitric oxide is part of the intracellular biochemistry and is not tested for. ED is a multifactorial process, and also relies on nerve innervation and the ability of the vascular tissue to hold onto the blood suffusion.
You can ask for a testosterone test, but it probably won't tell you much.
With me, hot or cold it didn't matter especially if she was a 25 year old 3 foot tall mute nymphomaniac with a flat head (to rest the beer on) who's father owned a liquor store and she loved to cook Italian food and gave up the TV remote without a fight.
