libido

I Am 76 years old, I was diagnosed with PCa, April 2016. My PSA was 5.83 and biopsy was 4+3=7. I am currently on active surveillance.

My libido has not left me, however, I have seen a decline over the years, at age 76 one can expect that. I have read, and been told maintain, and getting an erection reveals a lot about your general health. I still have morning erections, and I still have erections and a normal amount of semen at ejaculation for a 76 year old.

I am concerned about the "wait and watch" with my PCa , My thoughts it could spread out side the vessel. I was wondering if my libido could be a good indicator that My PCa is not aggressive and Active Surveillance is the right treatment.

Comments welcomed!

Lack of libido may indicate diminished testosterone. And less testosterone "might" suggest you are in good shape. A better answer, though, is to check with your doctor or consultant. A 4+3 Gleason score is indeed significant at any age. For you, Active Surveillance means quarterly blood tests and probably an annual or biannual MRI.
