A Study of the Effect of Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate on the Erectile Function of the Patients in Eastern Indian Population
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
There has been a continuing debate on the effect of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) on the erectile function (EF) of the patient. This study aims to study the effect of TURP on the EF of the patient at 3 months and 6 months after the surgery and compare it with the preoperative baseline. A total of 44 sexually active patients who underwent TURP at Calcutta National Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata during the period between August 2016 to January 2017 were studied. The EF of these patients in preoperative period was noted using the EF domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. During post-operative follow up at 3 months and 6 months after surgery, the EF was noted again using the same EF domain of IIEF questionnaire and was compared to the pre-operative baseline value. The EF domain score of the IIEF was found to be significantly decreased in patients at the 3 month postoperative period. At 6 months postoperative follow-up, EF domain score was found to be improved as compared to the 3 month follow-up value and there was no significant difference with the pre-operative baseline score. TURP has a significant effect on the EF of the patient in the immediate post-operative period with significant decline which tends to improve over time. At 6 months follow-up there remains no significant effect of the surgery on the EF of the patient.
