Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic which has affected Spain since the beginning of 2020 compels us to determine recomendations for the practice of Andrology in present times.
Materials And Methods: A web search is carried out in English and Spanish and a joint proposal is defined by experts in Andrology from different regions of Spain.
Results: Most diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Andrology can be safey postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the long-term effects of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on quality of life (QOL) and sexual function in men with low testosterone levels, using data from a multinational registry over 36 months.
- - Results showed that men receiving TRT experienced significant improvements in QOL and sexual function, reporting fewer symptoms compared to those who did not receive treatment; TRT patients scored better on established assessment scales like the AMS and IIEF.
- - The findings suggest that TRT can lead to sustained enhancements in the life quality of men with hypogonadism, although some improvement was also noted in untreated patients, emphasizing the effectiveness of TRT over time.
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of tadalafil when taken on demand by men with erectile dysfunction (ED) secondary to traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Design And Setting: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexible dose-titration, parallel-group study in clinical practices in Europe. Patients Enrolled patients had ED secondary to SCI (all spinal levels) and sustained 6 months or longer before visit 1.
Objective: To examine whether polymorphisms within the ESR1, FSHR, ESR2, CYP19A1, and NRIP1 genes are susceptibility factors for human male idiopathic infertility and to test the joint effects of these genes on male reproductive function.
Design: Genetic association study of male infertility with polymorphisms, using both single-gene and multilocus approaches.
Setting: Private and public fertility units and a private center for biomedical research.
