Prostate diseases significantly impact male sexual function and quality of life. While some conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have a limited effect, prostate cancer has the greatest impact on sexual health.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Sexual Medicine
  • Men's Health

Background:

  • Prostate diseases, including prostatitis, prostatodynia, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer, are known to affect male sexual function.
  • The American Urological Association recognized male sexual dysfunction as a disease entity in 1990, prompting further research into its relationship with prostate conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on the interrelation between prostate diseases and male sexual function.
  • To highlight the impact of various prostate conditions and their treatments on sexual health and quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search using keywords related to quality of life, sexual function, and prostate diseases.
  • Analysis of studies examining the impact of aging on male sexuality.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • Sexual function is a key component of health-related quality-of-life questionnaires.
  • Prostatodynia and sexual dysfunction exacerbate each other; BPH and its treatment affect specific aspects of sexual function.
  • Untreated or observed prostate cancer has the most significant impact on sexuality, with varying international tolerance and survival expectation.

Conclusions:

  • Validated questionnaires now facilitate easier study of the impact of prostatic disease treatments on sexuality.
  • This review provides a foundation for future research in this area.
