Objective To provide a meta-analysis of the available randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reporting the impact of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors treatment for BPH on erectile function. Methods According to the requirements of meta-analysis, a literature search about 5-alpha reductase inhibitors therapy in BPH was performed among PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct and The Cochrane Library from the establishment of the database till June 2016．Rresults A total of 391 articles were included, 11 RCTs were enrolled for meta-analysis. All articles used randomized, double blind and placebo control. Within 1 year, erectile dysfunction was more common with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors than with placebo (OR=2.18, P<0.00001). In particular, considering Finasteride (OR=2.28, P<0.00001) or Dutasteride (OR=2.06, P<0.00001). Finasteride had no significantly difference with Dutasteride. In more than 1 year, erectile dysfunction was more common with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors than with placebo (OR=1.45, P<0.0001). In particular, considering Finasteride (OR=1.46, P<0.0001); conversely, Dutasteride was associated with a risk similar to placebo. Conclusion Within 1 year, 5-Alpha reductase inhibitors may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. In more than 1 year, Finasteride was more likely to lead to erectile dysfunction. These data can be relevant both for drug selection and patients counseling.
