History was taken from all patients; all patients were examined by digital rectal examination and abdominal examination. We performed pelvic ultrasound, serum P.S.A estimation (patients with P.S.A more than 4ng/ml will do TRUS and biopsy), other routine investigations and uroflowmetry to all patients. Assessment of sexual function changes was by the IIEE (International Index of Erectile Function) and penile Doppler ultrasound.
