Background:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and sexual dysfunction are common urological issues.
Less invasive therapies for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are increasingly prevalent.
The impact of LUTS treatments on male sexual function requires careful consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the effects of therapies for lower urinary tract symptoms on male sexual function.
To provide insights for urologists and patients regarding treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:
