Many interventions to treat men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are associated with sexual side effects or complications, such as hematospermia, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory dysfunction. As loss of sexual function can significantly impact quality of life, an optimal treatment for BPH associated LUTS would be one without any sexual dysfunction side effects. Prostatic artery embolization is a minimally invasive treatment for men with BPH associated LUTS. The aim of this paper is to review the effects of prostatic artery embolization on sexual function and compare the sexual side effect profile to the other available BPH procedures.
许多治疗良性前列腺增生（BPH）相关下尿路症状（LUTS）的干预措施与性副作用或并发症相关，例如血精、勃起功能障碍或射精功能障碍。由于性功能丧失会显著影响生活质量，因此治疗 BPH 相关 LUTS 的最佳方法是没有任何性功能障碍副作用的方法。前列腺动脉栓塞术是治疗 BPH 相关 LUTS 的一种微创治疗方法。本文旨在综述前列腺动脉栓塞术对性功能的影响，并将其性副作用特征与其他可用的 BPH 治疗方法进行比较。
