Can enlarged prostate cause impotence?
BPH generally does not interfere with sexual function. Surgery for BPH does not interfere with a man’s sexual functioning. However, some men may experience some erectile dysfunction, particularly if they have pre-existing erectile problems. Most men get retrograde ejaculation, which means it may not be possible to father children naturally. Retrograde ejaculation means semen is ejaculated backward into the bladder rather than being expelled through the penis.
