title: Sexual dysfunction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
abstract: Two of the most common problems presenting to urologists are benign prostatic hyperplasia and sexual dysfunction, with an increasing number of patients presenting for treatment as a result of the proliferation of less invasive therapies. How such therapies for lower urinary tract symptoms affect sexual function in men is important to both urologists and their patients, and is the focus of this review.
