Radical pelvic surgeries for bladder or prostate cancer can impair sexual function. Further research and improved surgical techniques are needed to minimize damage and restore sexual health in men and women.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology
  • Sexual Medicine

Background:

  • Radical surgical procedures for bladder or prostate cancer frequently lead to compromised sexual function in patients.
  • Sexual dysfunction is a significant, often overlooked, side effect impacting quality of life post-cancer treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the classification and physiology of sexual function and dysfunction.
  • To explain the pathophysiology of sexual dysfunction resulting from radical pelvic surgeries.
  • To discuss current and potential treatment approaches for sexual dysfunction post-bladder or prostate cancer surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of sexual function classification and physiology.
  • Analysis of surgical pathophysiology impacting sexual function.

  • Discussion of available treatment modalities for male and female sexual dysfunction.

    • Main Results:

    • Male sexual dysfunction (primarily erectile dysfunction) post-prostatectomy or bladder cancer surgery has varied treatment options, including penile rehabilitation.
    • Female sexual dysfunction post-bladder cancer surgery can involve libido, arousal, orgasm, and dyspareunia, with treatments including sex therapy and hormonal therapy.
    • No established consensus exists for optimal treatment strategies or timing for sexual dysfunction following radical cystectomies or prostatectomies.

    Conclusions:

    • Additional research is crucial to gather more data on sexual dysfunction in both sexes after radical pelvic surgeries.
    • Future advancements in surgical techniques, treatment modalities, and novel agents are necessary to minimize or prevent sexual damage and restore function.
    • Restoring normal sexual function post-cancer surgery requires a multi-faceted approach involving surgical modification and targeted therapies.
