Description	The effect of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) on the ability of achieving erection and ejaculation was studied in one hundred and twenty patients. The patients underwent a single TUMT session for one hour without complementary treatment during the follow-up period of one year. A self-administered questionnaire on sexual functions was used. Our results showed that, despite individual reductions, there was an overall improvement in the ability to achieve erection. It was concluded that TUMT did not have any major adverse effects on sexual functions. However, it was not possible to predict that TUMT will improve sexual functions for the individual patient. Improvement of symptoms and a better quality of life may influence the results.
