Abstract

Common symptoms of aging include degradation of male sexual function and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). There is no systematic report that prostatic hyperplasia causes sexual dysfunction. In addition, since both prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction are related to age, it is difficult to directly link prostate hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction. The relationship between prostate volum and erectile dysfunction due to prostate hyperplasia is controversial, but the exact mechanism of integration is still being considered. Age and age-adjusted LUTS severity are decreasing factors of erectile function. With BPH therapy, increase of urinary symptoms and quality of life are well-known, but there are controversies over the sexual function according to the treatment method. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between prostate volume and erectile dysfunction in patients with symptoms of urinary tract depression caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. 50 subjects with BPH, and before initiating BPH treatment that may affect erectile function, quantification of erectile function is conducted in 5 questions to all respondents using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). The Pearson correlation coefficient between prostate volume and IIEF-5 score was -0.039 (p-value-0.784). Therefore, as the volume of the prostate increases, erectile dysfunction is not related to evil. The results of IIEF-5 appear to be unregulated in the case of the prostate volume or the rate of increase in the prostate volume, and there is no change in the IIEF score.
