Abstract
A large variation in sexual potency is present after brachytherapy with no significant relationship to the time since treatment. Age is an indicator of sexual function after brachytherapy, with younger patients experiencing less sexual dysfunction than older patients. Other aspects of sexual function (pain on orgasm, hematospermia) are also significant side effects of brachytherapy and must be considered in the treatment decision for low-risk prostate cancer.
