ABSTRACT
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem among elderly males. Surgical resection of the hyperplastic tissue to relieve urinary tract obstruction remains a major option for the treatment of BPH. Operations, whether open prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate, or transurethral laser resection of the prostate, will inevitably affect the sexual function of the patient. With the increased attention to patients' quality of life, more and more importance is being attached to the changes in post-BPH sexual function. This review covers the sexual function changes induced by different surgical methods and assesses the possible risk factors of BPH surgery.
