Abstract

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) occurs in up to 50 % of men by age 50, and the incidence increases with age. The rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with BPH ranges from 30 to 70 %, but can be as high as 90.5 % in males aged over 50 years. BPH/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunction (SD) can have a substantial negative impact on a man’s quality of life (QoL). Symptom severity and impact on QoL in each condition increase when LUTS and ED coexist. Age and erection change in patients with LUTS could also correlate with ejaculation dysfunction. However, urologists and primary care physicians appear to under-recognize SD in men with BPH/LUTS. We review the mechanisms of action, association, and effect of treatment between BPH and ED.
