The effect of transurethral resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual function

Objectives To assess the effect of TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction (ED).Methods 96 cases of BPH patients with ED use transurethral resection of the prostate.Using the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS),international index of erectile dysfunction symptom score (IIEF-5) to assess the curative effect before and after treatment.Results Patients before and after treatment with IPPS score comparison,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05),patients before and after treatment with IIEF-5 score comparison,the difference was not statistically significant(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Transurethral resection of the prostate may be effective in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with LUTS,but ED had no obvious improvement.
