Effect of lower urinary tract symptoms on the quality of life and sexual function of males in China, Taiwan, and South Korea: Subgroup analysis of a cross‐sectional, population‐based study
Abstract
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in males can reduce patients’ quality of life (QoL) and affect sexual function and satisfaction. Although this has been documented in the US, Canada, Germany, Italy, UK, and Sweden, data are limited on the effects of LUTS on QoL and sexual function in Asian men. The present subgroup analysis of an Internet‐based survey correlated the incidence of male LUTS by severity and category with self‐assessed QoL and sexual function and satisfaction measures.
