{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>The increasing number of subjects with benign prostate obstruction (BPO) has become a worldwide concern. The sexual problem after benign prostate enlargement (BPE) surgery that has received the most attention in the literature is ejaculation disorder. However, there appears to be a change in orgasmic sensation independent of ejaculation retention. The objective of our study is to explore the influence of BPE surgery on orgasmic function.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We evaluated the prospective, multicenter clinical data of 104 patients undergoing BPE surgery who reported maintaining sexual activity from January 2016 to November 2020. The endpoint of this study was to decipher the percentage of patients with an orgasm disorder as assessed by the difference between pre-and-postoperative question 10 of the IIEF 15 questionnaire.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Orgasm function was stable, improved, and degraded in 34% (n=35), 30% (n=31), and 36% (n=38) respectively. A deterioration in orgasm was statistically significant in men who maintained quality ejaculation with retained force preoperatively and a high IIEF15 scale values preoperative of orgasmic function, overall and intercourse patient satisfaction.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>To enable the patient to maintain a satisfying and healthy sex life after any BPE surgery, urologist physicians should know the prevalence of orgasmic side effects after surgical treatment to provide appropriate counseling to patients.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Grade 4.
