Introduction And Importance: Retroperitoneal Schwannoma is unlikely to be considered in the differential diagnosis of a young patient with unexplained abdominal discomfort with no previous medical history. Tissue sampling is required for a definitive diagnosis.
Case Presentation: A young male presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain. Imaging study and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of retroperitoneal Schwannoma. Retrograde ejaculation has been discovered as a surgical complication in follow-ups.
Clinical Discussion: This case is reported because of its rare clinical presentation and subsequent autonomic nerve dysfunction.
Conclusion: Schwannomas are tumors of neurological origin that can grow in any location where neurons exist, and complications related to the neighboring nervous plexus should always be expected. Although uncommon, retrograde ejaculation can occur after the surgery. It is essential to inform the patient about the possibility of these complications.

Evaluating the safety and effectiveness of α-blockers versus mirabegron for medical expulsive therapy in ureteral calculi: A Systematic review and meta-analysis.
PLoS One
December 2024
Department of Urology, Liaocheng People's Hospital, Liaocheng, China.
Introduction And Aim: The main categories of drugs employed for medical expulsive therapy in patients with ureteral calculi (UC) are alpha-blockers (α-B) and beta-adrenoceptor agonists. This meta-analysis evaluated the safety and effectiveness of α-B versus mirabegron (MIR) in treating UC.
Methods: From January 1980 to October 2024, we extensively searched the Pubmed, Web of science, Cochrane and EMBASE databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effectiveness of α-B and MIR in managing UC.
Spinal cord epidural stimulation for male sexual function in spinal cord injured rats.
J Sex Med

Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology, University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY 40202, United States.
Background: 95% of men with spinal cord injuries exhibit difficulties with sexual function, including erectile dysfunction, anejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, poor ejaculatory force, and poor sperm quality.
Aim: The primary goal is to determine if well-established interventions, such as spinal cord epidural stimulation, are a feasible treatment for sexual dysfunction and if locomotor recovery training can be used to improve ejaculatory function in a rodent model of spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Male Wistar rats underwent thoracic laminectomies (shams), spinal cord transections, or moderate spinal cord contusion injuries.

Aim: Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) have been extensively utilized for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Clinical trials and real-world data suggest that SNRIs may cause reproductive toxicity. To comprehensively assess this association, we conducted a pharmacovigilance study.

In half of the cases, a decrease in the quantity and/or quality of spermatozoa is the cause of infertility. The pathogenesis of such disorders is multifactorial, often unknown, and data on the treatment efficiency are still contradictory. Based on the recent high-level evidences (randomized studies and meta-analyses), the real clinical efficiency of various surgical and conservative treatment methods for the main clinical forms of male reproductive dysfunction, including hypo- and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, secretory and obstructive azoospermia, retrograde ejaculation and anejaculation, pathospermia associated with varicocele, and idiopathic forms, is analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the safety and effectiveness of a surgical technique called HoLEP for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), focusing on whether preserving the urethral mucosa helps with recovery.
- A total of 208 patients were divided into two groups: one that retained the urethral mucosa and another that did not, allowing for a comparison of postoperative outcomes like urinary control and complications.
- Results showed that the group with preserved urethral mucosa had significantly better urinary continence and lower rates of retrograde ejaculation after surgery, suggesting that this technique may improve quality of life for BPH patients.
