“…4,5 Erectile dysfunction (ED) can occur after biopsy, and this was defined as a complication of TRUS biopsy since 2001. 6 ED is not an acknowledged complication of TRUS biopsy; however, limited studies have shown the relationship that occurs between ED and prostate biopsy. A lot of theories and hypotheses were considered being made on ED’s origin; nevertheless, the accurate mechanism is still unknown.…”

The aim of this study is to assess the erectile function of patients before and after transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy comparatively in order to determine the appropriate time to evaluate erectile function before radical prostatectomy. A total of 44 patients underwent transrectal ultrasound biopsy. We used the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire to assess all the patients. In total, 44 volunteered patients were included in this study. All patients were evaluated with the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire before the biopsy and at 4 weeks after the transrectal ultrasound biopsy. A total of 50% of patients were potent before the biopsy was done. A month after the biopsies, erectile dysfunction was reported by 29 of 44 patients (66%) as mild in 10 (22.7%), as mild-moderate in 14 (31.8%), as moderate in 4 (9.1%), and severe in 1 (2.3%). The differences were statistically significant in the first month of the biopsy ( p < 0.05). The effect of prostate biopsy upon the erectile function is non-negligible. However, this situation is temporary and transient. Therefore, it is recommended that the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire is to be administered prior to prostate biopsy rather than before surgical treatment.
