I would like to know how are nerves distributed in the prostate gland. The reason I would like to know is I want to find out in a photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (green light PVP) to treat BPH how easy will the laser beam damage the nerves and may or may not cause incontinence and retrograde ejeculation.
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! Nerves in the prostate gland are just outside the capsule of the prostate. PVP will not affect the nerves of the prostate and will not cause incontinence as long as the sphincter is not damaged during the procedure which is 99% of the time? Almost all BPH treatment from medicines (flora etc.) to all those if surgery causes retrograde ejaculation 50-70% of the time, and it is usually expected after surgery. This is due to the opening of the prostatic fossa and not due to nerve damage. For more details you can ask me through
