    Studysummary This study found that while new treatments like Optilume, Rezum, and Aquablation have minimal risks of sexual dysfunction, they offer less improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms compared to traditional surgeries like TURP, though Aquablation does reduce ejaculatory dysfunction more effectively than TURP.
