Aim: The aim of the study is to compare the effect of extraperitoneal high uterosacral ligament suspension (EHUS) and sacrospinous ligament fixation on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and anatomical reduction in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study concluded 91 patients with POP who underwent EHUS or sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) for apical repair. The primary outcome was the effect of the two operations on anatomical reduction.

Introduction: Parasacral Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (parasacral TENS) has emerged as a promising treatment for children with Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction (BBD), being an efficient method without direct adverse effects. Little is known about clinical characteristics associated with poorer treatment outcomes in this specific patient group.
Objective: To evaluate potential clinical predictors of parasacral TENS treatment failure in children and adolescents with BBD.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a chronic disease with the symptoms of urgency with or without incontinence. Solifenacin is an antimuscarinic drug that Excels in OAB treatment due to its specific bladder receptor targeting. While previous research had positive outcomes, reports of adverse events (AEs) highlight the need for regular updates on the safety and efficacy of solifenacin for OAB management.

Urological problems involving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, and urine volume have a significant impact on patient health and quality of life. At present, clinical uroflowmeter tests and a urination frequency-volume chart (FVC) or bladder diary is recommended for monitoring the symptoms and the efficacy of treatment. However, these solutions are intermittent, needing high user compliance, repeated visits to the clinic and are inconvenient, especially for elderly patients.

Background/aim: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized by the abnormal proliferation of prostate stromal cells, resulting in the enlargement of the prostate gland and the manifestation of troublesome symptoms, such as nocturia, urinary retention, and urinary incontinence. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) are known to be key factors in promoting the overproduction of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) in prostate stromal cells, contributing to their excessive proliferation, leading to BPH.
Materials And Methods: In this study, selected plant extracts traditionally used to alleviate urinary symptoms were subjected to primary screening for their anti-proliferative activity by evaluating DHT- and IL-17-induced proliferation in WPMY-1 prostate stromal cells.
