Evaluation of the quality of life of patients with premature ejaculation (lifelong and acquired).

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with lifelong and acquired premature ejaculation and to examine its relationship with depression and anxiety.

Methods: Between February 2017 and January 2018, a total of 175 patients with premature ejaculation and 132 control men who applied to the urology department of the training and research hospital with the complaint of Premature Ejaculation were included. Patients were divided into three groups according to International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) criteria as follows: Group 1, lifelong premature ejaculation; Group 2, acquired premature ejaculation, and Group 3, control group without premature ejaculation.

The effect of vitamin D replacement in patients with lower urinary tract complaint/erectile dysfunction resistant to Tadalafil 5 mg treatment: A pilot clinical study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D replacement in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/erectile dysfunction (ED) who did not respond to tadalafil 5 mg treatment. Patients who applied to the Andrology Clinic with LUTS/ED between September 2017 and August 2020 and used 5 mg Tadalafil daily for treatment and did not benefit from treatment for 1 month were included in the study. Vitamin D levels of the patients were analysed and Vitamin D3 100,000 IU/week oral therapy was administered for a month to the patients with low levels of Vitamin D(<20 ng/ml).

Relation of glycated hemoglobin and vitamin D deficiency with erectile dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is seen very often in the men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Due to the ability of vitamin D to reduce endothelial damage and oxidative stress, its role in preventing cardiovascular risk has been demonstrated in some studies. Since ED and cardiovascular disease have common pathogenic mechanisms, many studies have evaluated a possible relationship between vitamin D deficiency and ED.

Penile curvature after Peyronie's disease surgery: What are the risk factors?

Surgery is the golden standard for the treatment of patients with Peyronie's disease in chronic phase (12-18 months). Learning risk factors for post-surgical curvature (>20°) would aid both surgeon and patient in their decision-making process. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for residual/recurrent curvatures.

Undescended Testis Does Not Affect the Outcome of Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction.

Objective: To determine the sperm retrieval rates (SRRs) and predictive factors of patients with a history of undescended testis after testicular sperm extraction (TESE).

Methods: A total of 311 patients were diagnosed with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) and underwent TESE were included in this study. These patients were divided into 2 groups: an undescended group consisting of 62 patients who had a history of undescended testes and an idiopathic group consisting of 249 patients.

Anatomic and Functional Outcome Following Distal Shunt and Tunneling for Treatment İschemic Priapism: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Ischemic priapism (IP) is a urologic emergency that requires early intervention. The main aim of IP treatment is to relieve the cavernosal pressure and provide erectile function.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between preoperative risk factors (patient's age, duration of priapism, preoperative erectile function) and postoperative erectile dysfunction (ED).

Perplexity of penile rehabilitation following radical prostatectomy.

Radical prostatectomy has significantly improved prostate cancer survival rates but continues to have a negative impact on the patient's erectile function (EF). In attempts to improve erectile dysfunction (ED), clinicians have incorporated different treatment modalities to restore EF. Penile rehabilitation consists of understanding the mechanisms that affect post-prostatectomy EF and utilizing pharmacologic agents, devices, and interventions to promote the male sexual function.

Peyronie's disease surgery: Surgical outcomes of 268 cases.

Objective: To assess the outcomes of the surgical techniques used in Peyronie's disease (PD) surgery.

Material And Methods: Two hundred and sixty-eight patients received surgical treatment for PD. Fifty four and 144 patients underwent simple corporoplasties (shortening procedure, SP, group 1) or plaque incision and grafting surgery (lengthening surgery, LP, group 2), respectively, whereas 70 patients with erectile dysfunction underwent penile prosthesis implantation.

The Case Report of Priapus and a Modern Approach to an Ancient Affliction.

Introduction: Priapism, taking its name from God Priapus, is total or partial erection lasting longer than 4 hours independent of sexual stimulus and can result in erectile dysfunction. There are three subtypes of priapism.

Aim: To review the three subtypes of priapism, their pathophysiology, current treatment options, and complications.
