ANDROLOGY

Introduction. The course of the postoperative period in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who have undergone transurethral resection (TUR) remains an important issue. Adequate relaxation of the muscle tone of the prostatic urethra and bladder neck is crucial in the postoperative period.

Materials and methods. The article presents the results of the study evaluating the drug Prostatex plus in patients with BPH who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Introduction. One of the most common urological diseases of aging men is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Androgens and androgen receptors (AR) are essential for the proper development and functioning of the prostate of an adult, and research is ongoing to understand the mechanisms involved in androgen availability, transport and activity of AR in the prostate.

The aim. To review current research on evidence of the involvement of androgen receptors in the development and progression of BPH.

Introduction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most relevant topics of study. Over time, diagnostic and treatment algorithms have repeatedly changed. This literature review provides a modern classification of erectile dysfunction, a step-by-step approach to diagnostics, and modern methods of treating various forms of erectile dysfunction.

Objective. To study the etiological causes and modern treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Introduction. Recently, the first generalized data on the efficacy and safety of alfuzosin (Alfuprost® MR) and solifenacin (Vesigamp) combination therapy (CT) in patients with LUTS/BPH and hyperactive bladder (ОАВ) have been published based on the results of the multicenter observational «AVIATOR» study. This was the first study of alfuzosin and solifenacin combination, in which a set of validated questionnaires was used to assess symptoms.

Introduction. Varicocele is a common condition in men that affects fertility. There are many options for varicocele surgical treatment. Marmar operation shows the best results.

Purpose of the study. To study the efficiency of microsurgical varicocelectomy among initially operated patients.

Introduction. Male infertility is a complex disease with many potential causes, including hormonal imbalance, anatomical problems, genetic factors, lifestyle factors, and more. Currently, there is a fairly large group of infertile men with unspecified causes of the disease.

Introduction. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men, manifested by symptoms of the lower urinary tract. Drug treatment of BPH often allows you to delay or even avoid performing surgery. Laser endoscopic enucleation, which shows excellent functional results regardless of the patient's age and prostate volume, can be considered the modern «gold standard» of surgical treatment of BPH. However, complications and urinary disorders after surgical treatment are also inherent in this method.

Introduction. A significant reason for the decrease in the effectiveness of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in men is the increased activity of the aromatase enzyme in overweight and obese patients, when under its influence estrogens are converted from androgens (the transition of testosterone to estradiol) mainly in adipose tissue, leading to an increase in estradiol levels.

Introduction. The new coronavirus infection remains a pressing health problem today. The new mutagenic strain (omicron) and its variants (stealth-omicron, «centaur»), like its predecessors (beta, delta), also causes multisystem damage to the body. A pressing issue in the study of the pathogenic properties of the pathogen is the effect of the virus on changes in the level of sex hormones in men.

Purpose of the work: to analyze modern ideas about the course of COVID-19 and the level of sex hormones in men.
