Does an enlarged prostate make you lose sexual urges?
03/28/09
I know an enlarged prostate can cause no erection at all and/or an erection for short periods of time. However does that cause one to not have sexual urges at all?

Hi Kaden,
Thanks for your question. You might want to check out our section on Enlarged Prostate / BPH. The article on the symptoms of BPH actually does not mention these sorts of sexual side effects that you list, though that does not mean they aren't linked.
The loss of sexual urges may also simply be linked to a decreased testosterone level, something that happens naturally as the male body ages.
