[Benign prostate hypertrophy and sexual health]

Abstract

This article is centered on the possible impact of benign prostate hypertrophy on the male sexual life. Not only concerning the symptomatology of this affection but also concerning the side-effects of medication as well as, if necessary, a surgical intervention. A particular attention is given to the possibility of using new associations between medication, for instance between alpha-blockers and inhibitors of 5-phosphodiesterases.
