ABSTRACT
One year after transurethral resection of the prostate for benign hyperplasia, 127 men received a questionnaire requesting personal evaluation of sexual function, including erection, ejaculation, libido and satisfaction. Significant postoperative dysfunction was reported in all these respects 54% of the responders claimed deterioration and half of them blamed the operation. Decline in sexual function had a multifactorial background, including advancing age, morbidity, and changed marital and social conditions. Although other examinations with preoperative and postoperative evaluation report a lower incidence of impotence development, which may be more reliable, it is psychologically interresting that the patients themselves suspect the transurethral resection as the cause of impaired sexuality.
