摘要
Sexual health has significant impact on quality of life among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The degree of sexual dysfunction matches the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Treatment of BPH affects not only LUTS, but sexual function as well. Medical, surgical, and minimally invasive therapies differ in their effect on erectile function, ejaculation, and sexual satisfaction. Choice of treatment modality takes into account baseline sexual function and patient expectations. This review outlines the relationship between LUTS and sexual function and how they change with the currently available treatments. © 2001, Current Science Inc.
