Introduction: Available literature suggests an association between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunction especially Erectile Dysfunction (ED). LUTS, either alone or in combination with ED, represents a considerable problem for ageing men. An understanding of correlation between LUTS and ED in these ageing men will be useful in their routine care. Aim: To determine the incidence of ED and its correlation with LUTS in adult male patients attending the Urology clinic in a Tertiary Care Hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 110 consecutive patients with LUTS recruited from the urological clinic. The data were collected, while ED and LUTS were assessed with the 5-Item Version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire forms respectively. Findings were subjected to linear regression and Pearson’s chi-square tests, using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. Results: The mean age of patients was 65.8±7.95 years. The incidence of ED among LUTS patients was 63.6%. There was positive correlation between ED scores and voiding phase, filling-storage phase and total LUTS scores. The severity of ED and graded LUTS score revealed no significant association between the severity of ED and that of voiding phase and filling-storage phase LUTS. Conversely, severity of ED was significantly related to the severity of total LUTS score. Conclusion: ED is common amongst adult patients with LUTS. Its severity worsens with worsening LUTS. The management of patients with LUTS should therefore involve evaluation and treatment for ED. This calls for increased awareness of these conditions to both the doctor and the patient.

Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate underwent significant technical improvements during the last decades, with major impact on the incidence of intra and postoperative complications. Objectives: The objective of the study was to analyse the early complications and to predict immediate outcomes of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in a single tertiary care institute. Materials and methods: We prospectively evaluated 100 patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate at B and B Hospital, Gwarko, Lalitpur, Nepal, from August 2008 till April 2009. Case records containing 32 variables concerning preoperative status, operative details, complications and immediate outcome were recorded for each patient. Results: The cumulative short-term postoperative significant morbidity was 10% and the peroperative morbidity was 6%. The most relevant postoperative complication was failure to void (24%). Among significant postoperative morbidities, surgical revision had to be performed in two patients (2%), open prostatectomy in one patient, transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome in 5% and significant urinary tract infection in 2%. Among significant intra operative morbidity, we had one case with bladder perforation, significant cardiac arrhythmia requiring prompt attention in 4% and TUR syndrome during resection in 1%. We did not have any mortality related to the procedure during the study period. The resected tissue averaged 25.67gm. Incidental carcinoma of the prostate was diagnosed by histological examination in 4% of patients. Urine peak flow rate (Q-max) increased to 12.88ml per second from 9.24ml per second and average fl ow rate increased to 7.36 ml per second from 5.03 ml per second. The postoperative mean residual urine measured by ultrasound decreased to 28.46ml from preoperative 86.59 ml. Conclusions: TURP has, for decades, been the standard surgical therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia though significant morbidities can be associated with the procedure. Meticulous preoperative workup and proper selection of the patients for the procedure significantly improve the outcome after transurethral resection of the prostate.
