| Özet |
| Erectile dysfunction (ED), defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, is a common condition, with a reported prevalence of 52% in men aged 40 to 70 years. The etiology of the ED is multifactorial and is associated with several recognized risk factors, including hypertension, heart disease, aging, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, pelvic surgery, vascular pathologies, trauma, endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, smoking, psychiatric disease, medications, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The most common cause of the LUTS is benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disorder among middle-aged and elderly men. Approximately 50% of men aged 50 to 60 years, 60% of men aged 60 to 70 years, and up to 90% of men aged> 80 years have some degree of BPH. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunction are both common problems in elderly men. The prevalence of ED has been reported to be 29% to 68% in patients seeking treatment for the voiding problems due to BPH related LUTS. Previous studies have found that the presence and severity of LUTS are associated with sexual dysfunction and decreased sexual activity and satisfaction. Moreover, it has been shown that the presence of LUTS is an independent risk factor for sexual dysfunction. The aim of this review is to evaluate the association between LUTS/BPH and erectile dysfunction with the relevant literature. |
