Concerns about nerve damage after rectal stump removal - seeking advice

Topic Explanation:
The original poster is seeking advice regarding concerns about potential nerve damage to the sexual organs after having the rectal stump removed due to chronic constipation and slow transit issues. The surgery is scheduled for the next month, and the poster is worried about the potential risks and seeking insights from others who have undergone similar procedures.

Advice and Insights:
- Find a surgeon experienced in this type of surgery to minimize potential risks.
- Consider consulting a sperm bank for collection and storage before the surgery, especially for individuals of reproductive age.
- Seek information and discuss potential risks and solutions with the surgeon before the operation.
- In some cases, the decision to remove the rectum may be a medical necessity after exhausting other treatment options.
- Despite potential risks, many individuals have undergone the surgery without experiencing sexual problems.
- It's important to have open discussions with the surgeon about potential complications and the likelihood of a successful outcome.
- Seek support from individuals who have undergone similar surgeries to gain insights and reassurance about potential outcomes.
