Summary
How the evaluation worksThe ErecTrack is set up to accommodate automated patient evaluations. This allows practitioners to email the patient a link to the ErecTrack. The patient completes the ErecTrack in their personal patient EVAL portal (me.eval.health). Based on the patient's response to the questions, results will appear instructing the patient accordingly. Additionally, the results will be automatically sent for practitioner review in the practitioner portal (eval.health). The practitioner may see additional results that the patient cannot see to guide in management based on how the questions were answered by the patient. For more details on how the ErecTrack is set up, click on the green button called, "Builder" in the upper right to inspect the code.

Whether you are facing physical consequences such as erectile dysfunction or emotional effects such as lack of interest in sexual activity, you are not alone. Experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center are dedicated to supporting men as they adjust to life during and after cancer treatment. Through this challenging time, our men’s sexual and reproductive medicine team can help you cope with the impact of cancer on you and your intimate relationships. We can provide therapies for dealing with the physical side effects and strategies for managing the emotional issues that may arise as a result of treatment. Common Sexual Health Issues for Men with CancerThe most common physical problems that men face following cancer treatment include:erectile dysfunction, or the inability to achieve or maintain an erectionpremature or delayed ejaculationphysical deformities, such as curvature of the penis during erection (Peyronie’s disease), which can occur as a result of certain prostate cancer therapiesfertility problemslow testosterone levels The anxiety surrounding a cancer diagnosis and the fatigue that accompanies treatment can also disturb your hormones and emotions, decreasing your desire for sexual activity. For example, the hormone adrenaline is released when you are worried, stressed, or angry — feelings that people with cancer may experience during various stages of the disease. Unfortunately, adrenaline is also a powerful hormone that prevents an erection from occurring. Some men may also experience a loss of sexual confidence after cancer and its treatment. Restoring this self-assurance is a complex process that involves not only the patient, but his partner as well.
