When patients with benign prostate hyperplasia undergo surgery, since only the enlarged glandular tissue puts pressure on the urethra, the glandular capsule generally remains intact, and only the internal glandular tissue needs to be removed. Because the nerves that control erectile function are distributed on the outer capsule of the prostate, patients with benign prostate hyperplasia rarely experience postoperative complications such as sexual dysfunction after surgery.

Most people can restore their sexual function after rehabilitation and recuperation, and it will not have a significant impact on their married life.
