Abstract

Background and Objective: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the commonest disorder involving the male reproductive tract. Surgical biopsy is the key to diagnosis in correlation with serum hormone levels. This study was designed to determine the frequency of sexual dysfunction (SD) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in male patients presenting with BPH.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at the Institute of Kidney Diseases, Peshawar. A total of 82 male patients of 40 to 60 years of age with BPH having lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) were included. Detailed history, examination, and investigations like full blood count, coagulation profile, and ultrasound with pre and post-void residual urine were performed on every patient. Preoperative erectile function was assessed by using the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5). All patients underwent TURP using monopolar diathermy and were managed according to the standard protocol till discharge from the hospital. Post TURP erectile function was assessed after six months using the same IIEF-5. Any increase or decrease in the score was noted and analyzed using statistical tests of association.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 50.71 ± 5.72 years. The mean duration of LUTS was 5.26 ± 1.77 months. The mean preoperative IIEF-5 score was 22.41 ± 2.30 while the mean postoperative IIEF-5 score was 22.41 ± 3.68. The frequency of sexual (erectile) dysfunction (ED) in our study was 9.8%. Among these, 4.9% of patients had mild ED while 2.4% each of patients presented with moderate and severe ED.

Conclusion: The frequency of SD after TURP for BPH is higher in patients of younger age in our population.

Keywords: Sexual dysfunction, Benign prostate hyperplasia, Lower urinary tract symptoms.
