Sexual activity significantly declined post-surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Erectile dysfunction was a key factor, while minimal surgery preserved ejaculation better than standard prostatectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Sexual Medicine

Context:

  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects a significant portion of aging men.
  • Surgical interventions for BPH can impact patients' quality of life, including sexual function.
  • Understanding the long-term sexual outcomes of different BPH surgical procedures is crucial for patient counseling.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the impact of different surgical procedures for BPH on sexual activity and function.
  • To assess changes in libido, erectile function, and ejaculation patterns post-surgery.
  • To compare the sexual side effects of transurethral vapo-enucleation of the prostate (TVPE) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) versus minimally invasive techniques like transurethral incision of the prostate with prostate enucleation (TUIP + PRP) and transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP).

Summary:

  • A study of 412 BPH patients revealed a statistically significant decline in sexual intercourse post-surgery (49.3% vs. 69.7% pre-surgery).
  • Erectile dysfunction was identified as the primary cause for reduced sexual activity; however, impotence rates were not significantly different between TVPE and TURP.
  • Minimally invasive surgeries (TUIP + PRP, TUIP) resulted in significantly less ejaculation damage (e.g., retrograde ejaculation) compared to standard prostatectomy (TVPE, TURP).

Impact:

  • Findings suggest that while BPH surgery impacts sexual function, minimally invasive options may offer better preservation of ejaculatory function.
  • This research aids urologists in managing patient expectations and selecting appropriate surgical techniques based on sexual health considerations.
  • Provides evidence-based data for improving patient counseling regarding potential sexual side effects of BPH treatments.
