Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can lead to sexual dysfunction. Erectile failure occurred in 4.8% of patients, with acute retention and hemorrhage as risk factors, while ejaculatory issues were more common but less significant.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Sexual dysfunction, including erectile and ejaculatory issues, is a potential complication of TURP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the clinical incidence of sexual dysfunction after TURP.
  • To identify specific risk factors associated with post-TURP sexual dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 253 patients undergoing TURP.
  • Assessment of pre- and post-operative erectile and ejaculatory function using a standard proforma.
  • Comparison of patients with post-operative erectile failure against unaffected patients.

Main Results:

  • Of 104 sexually active patients, 18 (17.3%) experienced post-operative erectile impairment, with 4.8% reporting total erectile failure.
  • Ejaculatory function was retained in only 7% of patients post-operation.
  • Acute urinary retention and primary hemorrhage were identified as significant risk factors for erectile failure.

Conclusions:

  • TURP is associated with a low but clinically significant incidence of erectile failure (4.8%).
  • Risk factors such as acute retention and hemorrhage increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction post-TURP.
  • While ejaculatory dysfunction is more frequent, it holds less clinical significance compared to erectile failure.
