Abstract

Purpose of Review

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual health have common links. Medical and surgical treatments for LUTS can significantly affect various domains of sexual health including erectile function, ejaculatory function, and libido. This review summarizes recent findings.

Recent Findings

Current literature demonstrates a strong association between LUTS, sexual health, and metabolic syndrome. The role of miRNA is also being investigated. Combination medical therapy with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5-I) shows promise but needs further investigation. Newer surgical therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) aim to preserve sexual function without sacrificing efficacy and durability.

Summary

Although we are beginning to acknowledge the link between LUTS and sexual health, a better understanding of the underlying biochemistry is needed. Only then can more effective therapies be developed. Further prospective studies should focus on the long-term durability and safety of treatments for both conditions.
