Description The prevalence and incidence of malignancies in the Czech Republic is increasing. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment modalities applied in the field of oncology during the last decade have led to an increase in the overall survival of patients with many different types of tumors. As a result, maintaining quality of life is another important issue for oncology patients. Sexual problems in oncology patients can stem from impairment of libido, arousal, orgasm and ejaculation, sexual satisfaction and pain. Prostate, bladder and colorectal cancer are the most common malignancies that are diagnosed in middle-aged men who do not renounce their sexuality after undergoing treatment. The consultation with the patient before starting complex treatment should therefore include familiarization with the risk of sexual dysfunctions, treatment modalities and the possibility of penile rehabilitation.
