Summary
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is commonly seen in elderly men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia often presents as lower urinary tract symptoms due to difficulties in voiding and irritability of the bladder. Recent evidence from clinical trials has suggested a link between benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile function. Transurethral resection of the prostate has been considered the standart treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia for the past 30 years. However, it is reported to cause erectile dysfunction, although some patients with preexisting erectile dysfunction reported improved erectile function after transurethral resection of the prostate. The aim of this study was to evaluate erectile function after transurethral resection of the prostate institution using the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire.
