Does Prostate Surgery Affect Sex Life?

Sexual life may be affected after prostate surgery, which is mainly related to the surgical method and the degree of postoperative recovery. Common clinical prostate surgery methods include suprapubic cystectomy, transperineal prostatectomy, and transurethral electrolysis of the prostate. Generally, suprapubic transcystectomy and transperineal prostatectomy may damage the peripheral nerves, thus affecting the sexual life. If the patient does not pay attention to the postoperative care, it may also affect the sexual life. For some patients who undergo transurethral resection of the prostate, there is no damage or irritation to the sexual nerves and sexual life is not affected. After surgery, patients should pay attention to adjust the mind, strengthen personal hygiene care, in order to promote the body to restore health, reduce the impact on sexual life. If you find that your sex life is difficult or abnormal after prostate surgery, you need to consult a doctor for timely examination and treatment.
