The possible effects of transurethral resection of the prostate were investigated in a prospective trial. 46 patients who underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia were recruited. All patients had to have a sexual partner and had to be sexually active within 3 months prior to surgery. Sexual function was assessed with the Rust and Golombok Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). Statistical analysis of GRISS scores exhibited a significant decrease in the erectile capacity 6 months after surgery. However, only 2 men were impotent and unable to perform sexual intercourse. 41 men developed retrograde ejaculation which was reported to interfere with sexual satisfaction in 16 men and 9 of their female partners.
