Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erectile problems are a common side effect of prostate surgery or removal of the prostate. This can result in difficulty getting or maintaining erections, which can make sexual activity difficult or impossible.

Answer: B 
 In some cases, removal of the prostate may lead to an increase in the volume of semen produced during ejaculation. This may be due to a decrease in the amount of fluid produced by the prostate gland, which is normally a major component of semen.

Answer: A and D 
 These choices are incorrect. While prostate surgery or removal of the prostate may lead to erectile problems, it does not necessarily mean that men can no longer have sex or that the penis becomes insensate. These issues can often be addressed with the help of medical treatments such as medications or devices that help to promote erections.
