Prostate surgery will affect sexual function. Traditional surgical methods have different effects on the treatment of prostatitis and prostate cancer. After the disease occurs, it needs to be treated at different stages to improve the disease. For example, laser, electrosurgical resection, microwave and other surgical effects are particularly good. These prostate surgeries may affect men's sexual life. Therefore, when performing surgery on patients, it is necessary to explain clearly that there is also erectile dysfunction, that is, the possibility of impotence or causing retrograde ejaculation. These are all problems that may occur after prostate surgery.
