Sexual function in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) declines with age, particularly erectile dysfunction and ejaculation volume. Pain during ejaculation affects 15% of men regardless of age.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Sexual Medicine

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting aging men.
  • Sexual dysfunction is a frequent concern in men with BPH, impacting quality of life.
  • The DAN-PSS questionnaire includes specific questions on sexual function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate sexual function in an unselected population referred for BPH treatment.
  • To analyze the relationship between age and sexual function parameters in BPH patients.
  • To assess the bothersomeness associated with sexual dysfunction symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 401 patients with clinical BPH completed the DAN-PSS questionnaire.
  • The questionnaire assessed erectile function, ejaculation volume, and pain during ejaculation.

  • Patients were stratified into four age groups for analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Erectile dysfunction prevalence increased with age, with higher bother reported by younger men.
    • A decrease in ejaculation volume was noted, correlating with increasing age, but with low bother.
    • Approximately 15% of patients experienced age-independent pain during ejaculation, reporting high bother.

    Conclusions:

    • Sexual function, including erectile function and ejaculation volume, is affected by aging in men with BPH.
    • Pain during ejaculation is a significant concern for a notable percentage of BPH patients.
    • The DAN-PSS questionnaire is a suitable tool for assessing sexual function in this population.
