Another issue that men with prostate disease wonder about is whether they can have sexual intercourse.

There is no direct negative effect on a man with prostate diseases having children. Patients who have undergone surgery due to prostate diseases can have children through in vitro fertilization (IVF) if the amount of semen decreases or stops completely.

Are prostate medications good for sexuality?

Medicines used for prostate enlargement do not contribute to erection. Only drugs in the PDE-5 inhibitor class have a positive effect. On the other hand, drugs in the alpha blocker class used for prostate enlargement can cause orgasm problems by causing retrograde ejaculation (semen leaking into the bladder). Again, drugs containing the active ingredient 5 alpha reductase may reduce testosterone levels and lead to deterioration in sexual functions.

Hormonotherapy (injections given through the umbilicus area) and chemotherapy used for prostate cancer treatment can also disrupt sexual functions by suppressing testosterone levels.

As a result, health is a whole, and like our other diseases, prostate diseases can cause temporary or permanent deterioration in our sexual functions. A significant part of this problem can be corrected with correct diagnosis and treatment.
