IIEF-5 results administered before and after surgery showed no significant difference. The study showed that patients with metabolic syndrome have a higher probability of having erectile dysfunction after TURP compared to patients without metabolic syndrome. Moreover, post-surgery, patients with metabolic syndrome seemed to be affected negatively regarding erectile dysfunction compared to patients with no metabolic syndrome.
