Objective: To investigate the risk factors for penile arterial insufficiency (PAI), which is a known cause of erectile dysfunction (ED).

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the relationship between various medications and male-factor infertility (MFI), identifying a range of drugs potentially linked to the condition through a thorough review of the FDA's adverse event reporting database.
- Out of 955 MFI reports analyzed, 408 were associated with 20 specific medications, with notable findings on finasteride, testosterone, and diethylstilbestrol showing significantly high reporting ratios.
- The research concluded that while many medications already suspected of contributing to MFI were confirmed, some hypothesized agents were not represented, suggesting a need for further investigation in pharmacovigilance.
Chronic prostatitis (CP) is a common condition, yet remains a challenge to treat in clinical practice due to the heterogeneity of symptoms. The aim of this article is to undertake a narrative review using key research papers in this field in order to develop a treatment algorithm and research recommendations for the management of type II and type III prostatitis taking a broader look at interventions beyond those recommended in the European Association of Urology Guidelines. A search was performed using multiple databases and trial registries with no language restrictions.
