“…Cirakoglu A et. al (16) assessed the correlation between the number of sexual partners, monthly frequency of sexual relations, age of first sexual debut, and age of first masturbation with the incidence of prostate cancer. They concluded that there might be an association between the number of sexual partners and prostate cancer in the patient group with PSA levels above 4ng/ml.…”

Background: Prostatic diseases are common urological conditions confronted by the urologist regularly. The clinical presentations may oftentimes be straightforward but at times challenging due to delayed patients' presentation in our setting, occasional overlap of symptoms and signs or when complications associated with the disease supervene. This study determines the difference in clinical presentations of patients histologically diagnosed with prostatic diseases among urology patients in our clinical setting. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted among 50 urology patients with indication for Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, North-western, Nigeria. Data collected into a semistructured questionnaire and studied included: sociodemographic parameters, clinical symptoms and signs at presentation, International prostate symptoms score (IPSS), co-morbidities, Digital rectal examination (DRE), and histological findings. Results were analyzed using the computer software, IBM statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25 (SPSS Inc; Chicago, IL, USA). Relationships between variables were determined using Pearson's chi-square test, and Fisher's exact tests as appropriate. Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled over the study period with a mean age of 67.32 ± 9.11 years and a range of 50-96 years. Thirty (60.0%) patients had benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) while 20 (40.0%) patients had prostatic adenocarcinoma (PCa). One (3.3%) patient with BPH had associated features of chronic prostatitis. The clinical presentations found to be statistically significant in favour of prostatic adenocarcinoma were weight loss, body weakness, cachexia, pallor, and abnormal digital rectal examination. Conclusion: The presence of weight loss, body weakness, cachexia, clinical pallor, and suspicious digital rectal examination at presentation are significant findings to raise a high index of suspicion of the prostate carcinoma. Hence, physicians and urologists coming in contact with prostatic disease patients should be well guided by this in our environment. Keywords: Clinical presentations, prostatic diseases, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic adenocarcinoma

“…Several studies have reported the impact of sociocultural factors on risk behaviors and sexual behaviors in different communities [5, 10–12]. A study on culture and sexual behaviors among Iranian and New Zealand women found that sexual behaviors and sexual desire and pleasure were related to community culture, beliefs and past experiences regarding sexual activities [44].…”

Background Sexual behaviors reflect the degree of exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV), especially in people in sexually active stages, such as youths. Hill tribe people have their own cultures, beliefs and lifestyles related to their behaviors, including sexual behaviors, which may lead to HIV, HBV, and HCV infections, especially among youths. The study aimed to examine sexual behaviors and assess the seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, and HCV among hill tribe youths. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. The participants were recruited from 60 randomly selected hill tribe villages in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. A validated questionnaire and 5 mL blood specimens were used to collect data. Data were collected by a self-reporting method. Rapid immunochromatographic tests were used to detect hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus antibody-I and- II (anti-HIV-1 and -2). Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test were used to detect the associations between variables. Results A total of 1325 participants were recruited for the analysis. The majority were females (60.5%) and aged 15–17 years (58.9%). A total of 14.5% smoked, 22.4% drank alcohol, 14.2% were tattooed, and 61.4% had their ears pierced. Among the 30.3% who had sexual experience, 42.0% experienced one-night stands, 26.9% had sexual contact with a prostitute within 1 year prior to the study, 18.9% used alcohol prior to having sexual intercourse, and 15.7% had been tested for HIV/AIDS previously. Among males, 11.5% were males who had sex with males (MSM), and 4.6% were bisexual. Among females, 83.0% were females who had sex with males, and 5.0% were females who had sex with females. Different sexes and tribes were found to have significantly different risk behaviors and sexual behaviors, such as overall males having a greater proportion of sexual experience than females, and Lahu, Akha and Hmong had a higher proportion of sexual experience, having sexual experience with one-night stands, and having sexual experience with a prostitute 1 year prior to the study than others. Among the 836 obtained blood samples, none were positive for anti-HIV-I and -II, 6.4% were positive for anti-HBs, 1.9% were positive for HBsAg, and 0.2% were positive for anti-HCV. Conclusion Hill tribe youths in Thailand are at risk of STIs such as HBV and HCV infections according to their risk behaviors and sexual behaviors, which differ between sexes and tribes. Effective behavioral interventions should be promoted among hill tribe youths to minimize the risk for these diseases in the future.
