Relationships between urinary function, sexual function and masculine self-esteem in men following radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer

摘要

Background: Preliminary evidence suggests that sexual and urinary outcomes of patients' post-radical prostatectomy (RP) may be related and potentially mediated by changes in masculine self-esteem. This study assessed how changes in urinary function and masculine self-esteem are related to sexual outcomes post-surgery.
