Current Therapeutic Strategies in Clinical Urology

Abstract: The field of urology encompasses all benign and malignant disorders of the urinary tract and the male genital tract. Urological disorders convey a huge economic and patient quality-of-life burden. Hospital acquired urinary tract infections, in particular, are under scrutiny as a measure of hospital quality. Given the prevalence of these pathologies, there is much progress still to be made in available therapeutic options in order to minimize side effects and provide effective care. Current drug delivery mechan… Show more

“…They have both biocompatibility and functionality and have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases. Among the advanced biomaterial, the hydrogel has been commonly used for drug delivery because of its high-water content and similar natural living tissues ( Crane et al, 2018 ; Qian et al, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The pathologies of each urological disorder are different, and there is still much progress to be made in available therapeutic options in order to minimize adverse events (AEs) and provide effective care. 1 The conservative approach to treatment remains watchful waiting (WW), behavioral and dietary modifications till date. When conservative treatment fails to cure the disease, medical therapy with either α 1 -adrenoceptor antagonists (α 1 -blockers), 5α-reductase inhibitors, muscarinic receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, phytotherapy or β-3 agonist in monotherapy or in combination is preferred.…”
