Of men who have undergone transurethral resection of the prostate, 15 to 40% experience problems with erections because of disruption of the pudendal nerve. ED is more common after more extensive prostatic resection. Prolonged perineal pressure (as occurs during bicycle riding) can cause temporary ED.
