Abstract: Objectives:To investigate the postoperative sexual function of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at different levels of social support.Methods:The clinical data of 207 BPH patients from March 2014 to January 2016 was analyzed.All the 207 patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of social support.The postoperative sexual function of patients in the three groups were compared,to analyze the influence of different levels of social support on the postoperative sexual function.Results:There was no significant difference in sexual function between the three groups before treatment (P ＞ 0.05),but the ratio of severe and mild IIEF-5 after treatment was significantly different among the three groups after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in preoperative incidence of erectile dysfunction,but postoperative incidence of erectile dysfunction in group C was significantly lower than that in group A (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the scores of quality of life before surgery,but difference in postoperative PF,SF and RP among the three groups was significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:The degree of social support has large influence on the postoperative sexual function of BPH patients,so more attention should be given to people with low levels of social support in clinical.
