My uncle recently went through this Cloud. It was really hard for him to make the decision to have the surgery. Not only can it cause impotence, but apparently also incontinence, so it's a big deal, particularly if you're still middle aged.
He eventually had the surgery though and he's doing great with no side effects. Like every other decision in life, there are pros and cons. I think the family had a lot to do with my uncle eventually getting over his pride and going ahead with it. No one wanted to lose him like that and everyone told him so. I think knowing he was supported really helped.
