It has been found that Sexual performance in men seems to decline as their prostate enlargement. Doctors also notice that men with milder prostate problems often have less erectile dysfunction (ED) than do those with moderate or severely enlarged prostates and urinary symptoms.

Probably the two diseases erectile dysfunction and the lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia are inter linked to each other

These both problems tend to enhance with age. About 31% of men aged 50 to 59 have an enlarged; 44% of those 70 and older have an enlarged prostate, according to the National Institutes of Health. As the gland enlarges, it constricts the urine-carrying tube called the urethra, making it difficult to
empty the bladder.

Common symptoms of BPH consist of weak urine stream, leaking or dribbling, feeling that the bladder hasn't emptied completely after voiding, and more
frequent urination.

Medications are approved to lighten the symptoms. Some of medications work by relaxing the muscles at the neck of the bladder and prostate; others slow down a hormone that can lead to the expansion of the gland

According to a study, 223 matured men between 45 to 64 who had urinary symptoms due to an bloated prostate were assigned either to a group given 10 milligrams of Levitra twice daily for eight weeks or a panacea for the same time period.

As compared with placebo, Erectile Dysfunction drugs considerably improved the men's quality-of- life scores and their rumor of urinary impediment and irritation.

Levitra is a hopeful new drug for men with lower urinary zone symptoms, but we need long-term data on how it might affect the progression of the disease," he says.
