“…Unfortunately, young men suffering from LUTS were usually misdiagnosed as chronic nonbacterial prostatitis [21] , prostatodynia [22] or psychogenic voiding dysfunction because of negative urinalysis or a urine culture result, a normal prostate on digital rectal examination, and/or an anxious personality. Nitti et al [2] have advocated VDS as an extremely helpful diagnostic test, especially in young men with low uroflow and high voiding scores.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the voiding function, ejaculation status and sexual function after the novel modification of transurethral incision of the bladder neck (TIBN) treating young men with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO). Methods: Using a videourodynamic study, PBNO was diagnosed in 33 young men 27–50 years of age who presented with chronic lower urinary tract symptoms and low urinary flow. TIBN was performed in all patients, with the modification of preserving a portion of the supramontanal tissue during the procedure. International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), quality of life, uroflowmetry, postvoid residual urine, the status of ejaculation and sexual function using the 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) were assessed before, 3 and 24 months after treatment. Results: Follow-up data were available in 32 (97%) and 26 (79%) patients at 3 and 24 months postoperatively, respectively. During the 2-year follow-up, mean I-PSS decreased from 20.7 to 5.9 (p < 0.01). Mean quality of life decreased from 4.2 to 2.3 (p < 0.01). Mean maximum flow increased from 10.7 to 19.2 ml/s (p < 0.01). Mean postvoiding residual urine decreased from 107 to 48 ml (p < 0.01). All patients had antegrade ejaculation postoperatively. Mean IIEF scores did not change significantly (22.6 ± 2.6 vs. 20.7 ± 4.3, p = 0.08). Successful overall outcome was achieved in 22 (84.6%) of 26 patients. Conclusions: Applying thismodified TIBN to treat the sexually active young men with PBNO had the advantage of improving voiding function and preserving both antegrade ejaculation and sexual function.

“…According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), prostatitis is stratified into four categories (Table 1) with several etiologies and mechanisms related to CPPS (Table 2). Also, researchers have determined some risk factors for prostatitis, which include phimosis (Van Howe, 1998), urethral catheterization, transurethral surgeries with positive urine culture (Meares, 1998), intraprostatic ductal reflux (Kirby, Lowe, Bultitude, & Shuttleworth, 1982), and unsafe sex, specifically rectal intercourse (Berger, Krieger, Paulsen, & Holmes, 1987), and any anatomic or physiologic dysfunction of the urinary system that increase abnormally the urine flow pressure can predispose men for prostatitis (Ghobish, 2002). It has also been proposed that CPPS is a condition that affect men who are anatomically or genetically susceptible, and that an interaction between immunologic, inflammatory, psychological, endocrine, neurological, and muscular mechanisms is responsible for this disorder (Nickel, 2016;Pontari & Ruggieri, 2004).…”

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) can be triggered by a various types of gynecological, gastrointestinal, urological, and musculoskeletal disorders. Recently, the role of the central nervous system has proven to be an integral part on the development of any chronic pain syndrome, including CPPS. However, owing to the complex and heterogeneous etiology and pathophysiology of CPPS, the establishment of effective therapeutic interventions remains challenging for both physicians and patients. Nonetheless, recent studies have pointed that medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites can be effectively used in CPPS therapy, besides contributing to restore the patients' quality of life and potentiate the conventional CPPS management. In this sense, this review aims to provide a careful overview on the biomedical data for the use of medicinal plants use and their secondary metabolites on CPPS management.

“…It may manifest as various ailments and disorders. The main symptoms of its bacterial form include pain in the area of the lower urinary tract connected to disturbances in ejaculation (its decrease or lack), hematospermia, disturbances in penile erection, disorders of the libido, and the emotional distress (Litwin et al , 1999; Ghobish, 2002). In advanced cases, it can be a cause of sterility, epididymitis, orchitis, cystitis, nephritis, endocarditis, arthritis, septicemia, sexual dysfunction, and serious psychosomatic disorders as well.…”

Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is a long-lasting and crippling disease that strongly impacts the patient's quality of life. The diagnosis of CBP is difficult and the treatment regimens are not always successful. Poor penetration of antibiotics to the prostate tissue, the drug resistance of uropathogens, the adverse events associated with antibiotic treatment, the persistence of prostatic calculi, and biofilm formation in the prostate gland are factors that contribute toward decreasing the cure rate of CBP. The phenomenon of increasing antibiotic resistance, which has also been called a clinical super-challenge, has revived interest in therapy using bacterial viruses (bacteriophages or phages). Because of their mechanism of action, which is completely different from those of all antibiotics, phages are effective even against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Here, we describe the current perspectives on the possible application of phage therapy (PT) in treating CBP. The advantages of therapeutic phages, including their interactions with bacterial biofilm, as well as the safety of PT are discussed.
