Full textAbstract:
Overview Objective: An overview of urinary incontinence and the associated quality of life in women, including sexuality. Methods: Compilation of published data from scientific literature. Conclusion: Urinary incontinence and female sexual dysfunction are common problems that adversely affect a woman’s quality of life. Their cause is often multifactorial. Both of these dysfunctions are common in women, but are often not reported by them and, subsequently, not treated. The symptoms of urinary incontinence, shame and fear can lead to complete social isolation of a woman affected in this way. There are a lot of studies suggesting that coping with a urination problem can subsequently improve a woman’s sexual function and overall quality of life. The prevalence increases significantly with the age. Keywords: female sexual dysfunction – urinary incontinence – Quality of life – women

e20540 Background: Physical activity (PA) in prostate cancer (PC) survivors improves general QOL and fatigue, but the relationship between PA and genitourinary symptoms in PC survivors is unknown. The incidence of sexual dysfunction may be as high as 68% during active surveillance and 78% in men receiving conventional therapies. PA has mitigated erectile dysfunction in non-prostate cancer populations. Objective: To determine the relationships among PA, age, co-morbidities, mental and physical health and symptoms, particularly related to sexual dysfunction, experienced by men with PC prior to therapy. Methods: Study Design: Correlational/cross sectional secondary analysis of de-identified data from 258 men with early stage PC prior to initiation of therapy. Variables: Habitual PA (Baecke Questionnaire- BAQ), physical (PCS) and mental health (MCS) (SF-36) and urinary, bowel and sexual dysfunctional symptoms (UCLA Prostate Cancer Index). Analysis: Descriptive statistics; correlations; hierarchical regressions to assess moderating and mediating relationships. Results: Mean Age = 63.2 + 8.1 yrs. BAQ activity scores, ranged from 2.2 to 12.1 (M and SD= 6.8+1.9), indicating low levels of PA. PCI mean scores = 92+13, urinary; 88 +13, bowel; 52 +29 for sexual. PA was negatively correlated with sexual symptoms (r=0.31; p<0.001). Physical health was negatively associated with all symptoms and age, but positively correlated with PA (r=0.21; p=0.001). Physical health mediates effects of age for urinary symptoms and partially for sexual symptoms. PA’s relationship to sexual dysfunctional symptoms was independent of age and was at least partially mediated by physical health. Conclusions: Urinary, bowel and sexual symptoms experienced by men at time of diagnosis were similar to men of similar age without PC, indicating age as the dominant predictor of symptoms. This study identified potential mechanisms of symptoms in early stage PC that warrant further testing. Symptoms related to sexual dysfunction may be especially amenable to PA.

Objective: To determine if there is a causal association between the pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index or weight gain, and the presence of postpartum pelvic floor dysfunctions, such as urinary and fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Methods: We carried out a prospective observational cohort study with 500 pregnant women controlled at HUV Macarena (Seville)from january to april of 2012. Patients were categorized according to their pregestational BMI and the weight gain during pregnancy.We analyzed the causes of the presence of urinary and fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction at 6,12 months and 7 years after delivery. Results: Overweight was observed in 26 %, obesity in 16,6 % and excessive weight gain in 46,7 %. Fetal macrosomia was associated with urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction in all three periods and with fecal incontinence at 7 years. Statistically significant associations were observed between urinary incontinence at 7 year and obesity, OR 2,737 IC 96 % (1,262-5,938) and between sexual dysfunction at 1 year and at 7 years with obesity, OR 7,321 IC 95 % (1,307-41,006) and with weight gain, OR 8,427 IC 95 % (1,026-69,225). Conclusions: Pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunctions, since fetal macrosomia, pre-pregnancy obesity and excessive weight gain have been associated with their development. It is important to advise patients on weight control before and during pregnancy. Keywords: Obesity, Gestational weight gain, Body mass index, Pregnancy, Pelvic floor disorders.

Full textAbstract:
The pelvic floor is a complex multifunctional structure that corresponds to the genito- urinary-anal area and consists of muscle and connective tissue. It supports the urinary, fecal, sexual and reproductive functions and pelvic statics. The symptoms caused by pelvic floor dysfunction often affect the quality of life of those who are afflicted, worsening significantly more aspects of daily life. In fact, in addition to providing support to the pelvic organs, the deep floor muscles support urinary continence and intestinal emptying whereas the superficial floor muscles are involved in the mechanism of erection and ejaculation. So, conditions of muscle hypotonia or hypertonicity may affect the efficiency of the pelvic floor, altering both the functionality of the deep and superficial floor muscles. In this evolution of knowledge it is possible imagine how the rehabilitation techniques of pelvic floor muscles, if altered and able to support a voiding or evacuative or sexual dysfunction, may have a role in improving the health and the quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The prevalence of urinary incontinence in Portuguese women is 21.4% and has a very negative impact on quality of life including women’s sexual activity. Pelvic floor rehabilitation is the first line treatment used in stress urinary incontinence and may be a tool in the treatment of sexual dysfunction in women with urinary incontinence. The aim of this review is to ascertain whether pelvic floor rehabilitation can improve sexual function in women with stress urinary incontinence.Material and Methods: We reviewed 12 articles in PubMed using the keywords: ‘urinary incontinence’, ‘female sexual dysfunction’ and ‘pelvic floor physical therapy’.Results: Pelvic floor rehabilitation is linked to a decrease in frequency of urinary leakage episodes as well as an improvement of coital incontinence. Furthermore, sexual function evaluation scores post-treatment revealed a positive change. Higher parity, higher adherence to treatment, improvement in the strength of pelvic floor muscles, and a decrease in the frequency of urine leakage were associated with higher improvement in sexual function.Discussion: Sexual function should be considered in the approach of urinary incontinence and standard tools of evaluation are essential tools for clinical assessment and follow-up. More evidence is required to identify the role of pelvic floor rehabilitation in sexual dysfunction of Portuguese women with urinary incontinence.Conclusion: Pelvic floor rehabilitation improves sexual function of women with stress urinary incontinence not only because it decreases the episodes of urine leakage but also because it strengthens pelvic floor muscles.

Full textAbstract:
Sphincter preservation and organ restoration during rectal cancer surgery avoids permanent stoma creation and diminishes psychosocial damages. However, decreased rectal volumes and sphincter dysfunction—including pelvic nerve damage—results in low anterior resection syndrome, as well as urinary and sexual dysfunction after rectal resection. Bowel habit changes such as fecal incontinence, fecal urgency, frequent bowel movements, clustered stools, and difficulties in bowel emptying can be treated using medications, pelvic floor rehabilitation, sacral neuromodulation, or neorectal reservoir reconstruction. Pelvic nerve damage resulting from superior and inferior hypogastric plexi during sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery can induce urologic and sexual dysfunctions. Preoperative voiding difficulty, perioperative blood loss, and autonomic nerve injury are considered independent risk factors for postoperative urinary dysfunction. Retrograde ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, female dyspareunia, and vaginal dryness are manifestations of sexual dysfunction resulting from autonomic nerve injury during rectal cancer surgery. Multifactorial causes for functional outcomes after sphincter- preserving surgeries are considered to improve patient’s quality of life with acceptable oncologic outcomes in the treatment of rectal cancer patients.

Full textAbstract:
Background and objectives: Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. Studies have reported that the severity of urinary incontinence symptoms can cause decreased quality of life and female sexual dysfunction in women, but the association between the duration of the incontinence and the aforementioned disturbances has not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in the occurrence of decreased quality of life and female sexual dysfunction in Croatian women with urinary incontinence, with regard to the duration and subtype of urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from March 2017 to July 2018 at our neurourology and urodynamics outpatient clinic, among 120 women with urinary incontinence symptoms. Based on medical history, physical exam and urodynamic assessment, participants were divided into groups with stress-, urgency- and mixed urinary incontinence. Several quality of life and female sexual dysfunction questionnaires were used for evaluation. The differences between the three UI groups were tested by the Kruskal–Wallis test. All p values were two-sided. The level of significance was set to Alpha = 0.05. Results: The mixed urinary incontinence group had a significantly inferior quality of life (p = 0.003) and lower scores on the female sexual dysfunction questionnaires (p = 0.02). The longer the duration of incontinence King’s Health Questionnaire total score was worse (p = 0.003) and Female Sexual Function Index total score was worse (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the occurrence of decreased quality of life and female sexual dysfunction considering the duration and subtype of incontinence in Croatian women.

AbstractPurposeAlthough the prevalence of sexual dysfunction after delivery is generally considered high, this has not been well examined in Hungary. The aim of our study was to evaluate female sexual function at 3-months postpartum and to investigate some of the possible predictor factors which might influence it.Materials and MethodsWe designed a cross-sectional study using online questionnaires and recruited 253 participants. Risk factors such as infant-feeding method and urinary incontinence were assessed for a potential relationship with sexual dysfunction. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to assess sexual function. We wrote our own questions about potential predictors.Results48.79% of participants reported sexual dysfunction according to total FSFI score (M = 25.16, SD = 7.00). A significant relationship was found between infant-feeding method and sexual dysfunction (P = 0.003). Sexual dysfunction was more common in exclusive-breastfeeding mothers than in mixed or formula-feeding mothers. Women with urinary incontinence had significantly lower total FSFI scores (P = 0.006), and in the arousal (P = 0.033), lubrication (P = 0.022), satisfaction (P = 0.006) and pain (P = 0.032) domains compared to women with no incontinence problem.ConclusionsWomen suffering from urinary incontinence are more likely to have sexual problems, especially a higher risk of dyspareunia and a lower level of sexual interest and wetness. Exclusive breastfeeding has a negative effect on sexual function.

Atualmente a International Continence Society (ICS) define IU como qualquer perda involuntária de urina e é considerada um problema social e/ou de higiene valorizando a queixa das pacientes. A prevalência da IU em mulheres adultas tem sido estimada entre 10 e 40 %, e pode piorar com o envelhecimento, paridade e obesidade. Uma doença de baixa morbidade é responsável por até 30% do movimento cirúrgico de um ambulatório de ginecologia; por isso, a indicação precisa do tratamento é fundamental. O tratamento cirúrgico deve ser oferecido para incontinência moderada a severa ou na falha do tratamento clínico. Vários estudos têm mostrado que a IU está associada com a disfunção sexual, relatados por até dois terços das mulheres, no mundo, com sintomas como dispareunia, ressecamento vaginal e dificuldade para atingir o orgasmo, entre outros. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a função sexual de mulheres com incontinência urinária, antes e depois do tratamento cirúrgico. Método: Este estudo foi realizado no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre e na Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre entre agosto de 2009 e novembro de 2011. Tratase de um ensaio clinico controlado não randomizado que avaliou a função sexual de mulheres com incontinência urinária utilizando o instrumento Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) e submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico (Burch ou Sling). A amostra total se constituiu de 38 mulheres que preencheram o questionário FSFI no pré-operatório e seis meses após Intervenção: Cirurgia de Burch ou Sling Instrumentos: Questionário FSFI, variáveis clínicas e demográficas. Resultados: Trinta e oito mulheres foram incluídas no estudo e assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. A média de idade das mulheres foi 48 anos, todas sexualmente ativas. Oito mulheres fizeram o procedimento cirúrgico tipo Burch e trinta mulheres tipo Sling. No grupo Sling as mulheres eram mais velhas do que as do grupo Burch tinham maior tempo de vida em comum com seus parceiros (24,3 + 11,9) e um IMC de sobrepeso/obesidade (28,4 + 3,3). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no préoperatório nos domínios do FSFI, porém no pós-operatório o escore geral indicou uma melhora da função sexual. Conclusões: Os domínios desejo e excitação melhoraram significativamente após a cirurgia para toda a amostra estudada. Aquelas que apresentaram cistocele tiveram uma melhora da função sexual no domínio dor e desconforto.Aims: The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a scale to assess sexual dysfunction in women. This study compared sexual function of women with urinary incontinence before and after surgical treatment. Methods: This nonrandomized clinical controlled trial was conducted in the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and in Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre from August 2009 to November 2011, to evaluate the sexual function of women with urinary incontinence that underwent surgical treatment (Burch or sling procedure). The sample comprised 38 women that answered the FSFI questionnaire before operation and six months after the intervention. Results: Thirty-eight women were included in the study and signed an informed consent term. Mean age was 48.3 years; all were sexually active, had studied for at least eight years (65.8%), had steady partners whose mean age was 54 years and with whom they had lived for a mean 22.5 years. The desire and arousal domains improved significantly after surgery for all the women included in the study. Conclusions: The patients that had cystocele had an improvement in sexual function in the discomfort and pain domain.

Introdução: Incontinência Urinária (IU) é comum na população feminina afetando um terço das mulheres adultas, podendo comprometer sua função sexual (FS). Ainda há controvérsia sobre o impacto da IU sobre a FS. A associação da FS e da funcionalidade da MAP é uma questão relevante que necessita aprofundamento. Objetivo: Comparar a FS de mulheres com Incontinência Urinária de Esforço (IUE) e Incontinência Urinária Mista (IUM), e correlacionar a funcionalidade da musculatura do assoalho pélvico (MAP) à FS destas mulheres. Método: Observacional e transversal, n=61 mulheres, de 30 a 70 anos que tiveram relação sexual nos últimos 12 meses. As participantes foram classificadas em dois grupos: IUE (n=22) E IUM (n=39). A avaliação foi constituída por ficha de anamnese, biofeedback pressórico, escala PERFECT, e questionário PISQ-12. A análise estatística foi realizada através do teste Shapiro-Wilk para verificar a normalidade dos dados. Para comparação dos dados foi utilizado o teste T de amostras independentes e o teste U de Mann-Whitney. Para correlação foi utilizado o teste de Correlação de Spearman. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: Diferença significativa na paridade e duração da queixa entre os grupos; na comparação do escore total do PISQ-12 e no domínio físico; nos itens P e F da escala PERFECT. Não houve correlação significativa entre a CVM Média e o Escore Total PISQ-12. Conclusão: Não foi demonstrado correlação entre a função da MAP e a FS nos grupos. Porém, houve diferença significativa entre a FS nos grupos.Introduction: Urinary Incontinence (UI) is common among the female population. It affects one third of adult women and can compromise their sexual function (SF). There are still controversy about the impacts of UI on the SF. The association of the SF and the functionality of the pelvic floor muscles (PMF) is a relevant issue that needs to be better comprehended. Goal: Comparing the SF of women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and Mixed Urinary Incontinence (MUI), and correlating these women’s PMF functionality to their SF. Method: Observational and cross-sectional, n=61 women aged 30 to 70 yo, who had had sexual relations in the last 12 months. The participants were divided into two groups: SUI (n=22) and MUI (n=39). The assessment consisted of the anamnesis record, pressure biofeedback, PERFECT scale and the PISQ-12 questionnaire. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Shapiro-Wilk test to verify the normality of the data. The independent t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for data comparison. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to correlate data. The adopted level of significance was 5%. Results: Significant difference between the groups regarding the parity and duration of complaints; the PISQ-12 total score and the physical domain; the items Power-Pressure and Fast of the PERFECT scale. There was no significant correlation between the Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) and the PISQ-12 total score. Conclusion: The tests did not find a correlation between the PFM functions and the SF in the groups. However, there was a significant difference in the SF between groups.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Prostatacancer är den vanligaste cancerformen i Sverige. Urininkontinens och sexuell dysfunktion är vanligt förekommande efter prostatacancerbehandling. Tidigare forskning har visat att urininkontinens och sexuell dysfunktion försämrar livskvaliteten. Syfte: Att kartlägga vilka typer av rehabilitering som finns för män med prostatacancer gällande sexuell dysfunktion och urininkontinens samt att belysa rehabiliteringsbehov som inte tillgodoses. Metod: Litteraturstudie. Tio vetenskapliga originalartiklar inkluderades; åtta med kvantitativ metod och två med kvalitativ metod. Resultat: Det fanns flera olika typer av bäckenbottenträning för att fysiskt rehabilitera urininkontinens. Bäckenbottenträningen minskade urininkontinensen i samtliga studier. Ett samband mellan minskad urininkontinens efter bäckenbottenträning och en förbättrad livskvalitet hittades. Männen hittade strategier för att psykosocialt anpassa sig till sin urininkontinens. Bäckenbottenträningen gav ingen betydande förbättring av sexuell dysfunktion. Den psykosociala rehabiliteringen som finns vid sexuell dysfunktion är patientinformation, samtal i vården, gruppterapi, stödgrupper och par-kommunikation. Slutsats: Alla typer av bäckenbottenträning minskade urininkontinensen. På grund av den emotionella och sociala påverkan som urininkontinensen har kvarstår ett behov av psykosocial rehabilitering. Ingen evidens hittades för att bäckenbottenträning förbättrar sexuell dysfunktion. Mer forskning efterfrågas för att hitta fysiska rehabiliteringsmetoder vid sexuell dysfunktion. Psykosocial rehabilitering hjälpte männen att anpassa sig till den sexuella dysfunktionen. Dock finns ett behov av ett sammanställt program med olika typer av psykosocial rehabilitering som alla prostatacancerpatienter kan erbjudas.Background: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in Sweden. Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are the general problems caused by prostate cancer treatment. Previous research has shown that quality of life is affected by urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. The aim: To review available rehabilitation in urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction for men with prostate cancer, and to find rehabilitation needs that were not met in these men. Method: Literature review. Ten articles were included; eight quantitative and two with qualitative method. Results: Several types of pelvic floor muscle training were found to physically rehabilitate urinary incontinence. Pelvic floor muscle training improved urinary incontinence in all studies. A correlation between improved urinary incontinence after pelvic floor muscle training and higher quality of life was found. The men found strategies to psychosocially adjust to urinary incontinence. Pelvic floor muscle training was not effective in rehabilitating sexual dysfunction. Patient information, consultations, group therapy, support groups and spousal communication was found to be psychosocial rehabilitation methods of sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: All pelvic floor muscle training decreased urinary incontinence. Because of the emotional and social impact of urinary incontinence a need for psychosocial rehabilitation remains. No evidence supports that pelvic floor muscle training improves sexual dysfunction. More research is required in finding physical rehabilitation methods for sexual dysfunction. Psychosocial rehabilitation helped the men to adjust to sexual dysfunction. But there is a need to assemble a program consisting of several types of psychosocial rehabilitation that can be given to all prostate cancer patients.

Full textAbstract:
Prostate cancer, the leading cause of cancer in men, has positive survival rates and constitutes a challenge to men with its side effects. Studies have addressed the bivaritate relationships between prostate cancer treatment side effects masculinity, partner relationship, and quality of life (QOL). However, few studies have highlighted the relationships among prostate cancer treatment side effects (i.e., sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence), masculinity, and relationship with the partner together on QOL in men. Most studies were conducted with predominately Caucasian sample of men. Miami is a unique multiethnic setting that hosts Cuban, Columbian, Venezuelan, Haitian, other Latin American and Caribbean communities that were not represented in previous literature. The purpose of this study was to examine relative contributions of age, ethnicity, sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, masculinity, and perception of the relationship with the partner on the quality of life in men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Data were collected using self administered questionnaires measuring demographic variables, sexual and urinary functioning (UCLA PCI), masculinity (CMNI), partner relationship (DAS), and QOL (SF-36). A total of 117 partnered heterosexual men diagnosed with prostate cancer were recruited from four urology clinics in Miami, Florida. Men were 67.47 (SD = 8.42) years old and identified themselves to be of Hispanic origin (54.3 %, n = 63). Findings demonstrated that there was a significant moderate negative relationship between urinary and sexual functioning of men. There was a significant strong negative association between men’s perceived relationship with partner and masculinity. There was a weak negative relationship between the partner relationship and QOL. Hierarchal multiple regression showed that the partner relationship (β = -.25, t (91) = -2.28, p = .03) significantly contributed overall to QOL. These findings highlight the importance of the relationship satisfaction in the QOL of men with prostate cancer. Nursing interventions to enhance QOL for these men should consider strengthening the relationship and involving the female partner as an active participant.

Full textAbstract:
Compared to males in almost any social group in all affluent nations, Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men suffer from substantially more serious illnesses and early death. To date, research done by or in collaboration with Indigenous communities has revealed the extent of the problems that arise from diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancers, respiratory diseases, psychological disorders, accidental injuries, violence and other causes. Reproductive health, however, rarely has been studied among Indigenous men. To date, research in this field has been limited mainly to studies of sexually transmitted infections. No data has been published on Aboriginal men's symptoms of prostate disease or erectile dysfunction, nor has the clinical screening and treatment of these disorders among these men been assessed. In-depth search of the worldwide web demonstrated that little information on these issues was available from other Indigenous populations. It does appear that Indigenous men in Australia, New Zealand and North America are less likely than European-ancestry men to die from prostate cancer, or for living cases to be recorded on cancer registries. This may arise because Indigenous men genuinely have a lower risk, or because they are not captured by official statistics, or because they do not live long enough to develop severe prostate disease. We also know very little about other reproductive health problems such as sexual dysfunction and specifically erectile difficulties. One reason for our scant knowledge is that research mainly relies on self-report of sensitive information. The aim of the research study was to improve the understanding of sexual and reproductive health problems experienced by Indigenous men. This is best gathered by Aboriginal males who are inside the culture of middleaged and older Indigenous men, but until now this has not been attempted. In this study we adopted the World Health Organization (WHO) definitions for Reproductive and Sexual Health (WHO, 2001). Thus, we consider reproductive system disorders (prostate disease, erectile dysfunction) and related health care-seeking, and also men's perceptions about a "satisfying and safe sexual life". The methodology was framed within an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research protocol that advocates respect for cultural, social and community customs. A mixed method design combined qualitative inquiry (4 focus groups and 18 in-depth interviews) and quantitative survey (n=301) involving men living in remote, rural and urban communities (Tiwi Islands, Darwin and north and south-east Queensland). Survey data were compared to recently published self-reports from 5990 randomly selected men aged over 40 years in Australia (Holden et al., 2005, The Lancet, 366, 218-224. The qualitative interviews revealed that most men were silent about reproductive health. They were unwilling to reveal their inner feelings to wives or partners, and they were unwilling to discuss such issues with doctors and other health care workers. Men's reaction to sexual difficulties included shame, denial, substance abuse and occasionally violence. On a positive note many men said they want to learn about it, so they understand how to cope with such problems. The Indigenous men reported symptoms of erectile dysfunction at least as much as non-Indigenous men in other Australian studies. Bivariate analysis showed that erectile dysfunction was correlated with many health and lifestyle variable. However multivariate analysis revealed that only three factors significantly predicted ED: presence of chronic disease, presence of pain when working, and living in a remote geographic location The quantitative survey data indicate that Indigenous men have more symptoms of prostate disease than non-Indigenous men. The syndrome appears to be poorly managed in clinical practice (e.g. rates of PSA testing and digital-rectal examination are only one-third the rate reported by non-Aboriginal men, despite equivalent likelihood of GP visits). The research study adds to the literature by providing better insight and depth into the issues impacting on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males experiencing reproductive and sexual health difficulties. It also provides a platform to undertake comprehensive research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men to explore a wider spectrum of questions in this important but neglected area. Implications for education of primary healthcare workers and community-based awareness campaigns for Indigenous males are discussed. Most of all, this study revealed "layers" of silence around sexual and reproductive health of Indigenous men. This includes silence in the scientific establishments in health services, and in the community. It is hoped that this study puts the voices of the men forward to help to break down this silence.

No data has been published on Aboriginal men's symptoms of prostate disease or erectile dysfunction, nor has the clinical screening and treatment of these disorders among these men been assessed. In-depth search of the worldwide web demonstrated that little information on these issues was available from other Indigenous populations. It does appear that Indigenous men in Australia, New Zealand and North America are less likely than European-ancestry men to die from prostate cancer, or for living cases to be recorded on cancer registries. This may arise because Indigenous men genuinely have a lower risk, or because they are not captured by official statistics, or because they do not live long enough to develop severe prostate disease. We also know very little about other reproductive health problems such as sexual dysfunction and specifically erectile difficulties. One reason for our scant knowledge is that research mainly relies on self-report of sensitive information. The aim of the research study was to improve the understanding of sexual and reproductive health problems experienced by Indigenous men. This is best gathered by Aboriginal males who are inside the culture of middleaged and older Indigenous men, but until now this has not been attempted. In this study we adopted the World Health Organization (WHO) definitions for Reproductive and Sexual Health (WHO, 2001). Thus, we consider reproductive system disorders (prostate disease, erectile dysfunction) and related health care-seeking, and also men's perceptions about a "satisfying and safe sexual life". The methodology was framed within an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research protocol that advocates respect for cultural, social and community customs. A mixed method design combined qualitative inquiry (4 focus groups and 18 in-depth interviews) and quantitative survey (n=301) involving men living in remote, rural and urban communities (Tiwi Islands, Darwin and north and south-east Queensland). Survey data were compared to recently published self-reports from 5990 randomly selected men aged over 40 years in Australia (Holden et al., 2005, The Lancet, 366, 218-224. The qualitative interviews revealed that most men were silent about reproductive health. They were unwilling to reveal their inner feelings to wives or partners, and they were unwilling to discuss such issues with doctors and other health care workers. Men's reaction to sexual difficulties included shame, denial, substance abuse and occasionally violence. On a positive note many men said they want to learn about it, so they understand how to cope with such problems. The Indigenous men reported symptoms of erectile dysfunction at least as much as non-Indigenous men in other Australian studies. Bivariate analysis showed that erectile dysfunction was correlated with many health and lifestyle variable. However multivariate analysis revealed that only three factors significantly predicted ED: presence of chronic disease, presence of pain when working, and living in a remote geographic location The quantitative survey data indicate that Indigenous men have more symptoms of prostate disease than non-Indigenous men. The syndrome appears to be poorly managed in clinical practice (e.g. rates of PSA testing and digital-rectal examination are only one-third the rate reported by non-Aboriginal men, despite equivalent likelihood of GP visits). The research study adds to the literature by providing better insight and depth into the issues impacting on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males experiencing reproductive and sexual health difficulties. It also provides a platform to undertake comprehensive research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men to explore a wider spectrum of questions in this important but neglected area. Implications for education of primary healthcare workers and community-based awareness campaigns for Indigenous males are discussed. Most of all, this study revealed "layers" of silence around sexual and reproductive health of Indigenous men. This includes silence in the scientific establishments in health services, and in the community. It is hoped that this study puts the voices of the men forward to help to break down this silence.

A prostatectomia radical é o método terapêutico mais utilizado no tratamento do câncer de próstata localizado. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a readaptação urinária e sexual no período pós- operatório. Método: Foram estudados 46 homens tratados por Prostatectomia Radical à quatro tempos: pré-cirurgia e após três meses; seis meses e um ano após cirurgia, através dos seguintes instrumentos: escala adaptativa operacionalizada redefinida- (EDAO-R); questionário de avaliação da disfunção sexual masculina - (QSM); questionário de incontinência urinária - (ICIQ-SF) e o questionário de comprometimento cognitivo - (MEEM). Em um ano de estudo a análise estatística avaliou quantitativamente a eficácia adaptativa em quatro setores, estruturados nos seguintes pressupostos: Afetivo-Relacional (A-R); Produtividade (Pr); Orgânico (Or) e Socio-Cultural (S-C). Resultados: Encontrou-se diferença significativa nos valores da adequação diagnóstica pela EDAO-R entre o momento 3 (6 meses de PR: G1 8,7%; G2 15,2%; G3 17,4%; G4 28,3%; G5 30,4%) e o momento 4 (1 ano de PR: G1 8,7%, G2 17,4%; G3 23,9%, G4 19,6%; G5 30,4%) em relação ao momento 1(précirurgíco: G1 28,3%; G2 17,4%; G3 26,1%; G4 17,4%, G5 10,9%). E no momento 3 (6 meses de PR: G1 8,7%; G2 15,2%; G3 17,4%; G4 28,3%; G5 30,4%) houve um aumento significativo em relação ao momento 2 (3 meses de PR: G1 10,9%; G2 17,4%; G3 37,0%; G4 17,4%; G5 17,4%). O ICIQ-SF diagnosticou diferenças significativas entre os todos os momentos (p < 0,001). O MEEM resultou no momento 2 (um ano de PR) com valores significativamente maiores que os apresentados no momento 1 pré-cirúrgico (p=0,001). O QS-M revelou no momento pré-cirúrgico que 80,5% dos pacientes se encontravam num escore de bom a excelente em relação ao desempenho sexual e que 19,5% se encontravam num escore de desfavorável a regular. No momento 4 (um ano de PR), os achados foram: 21,7% dos pacientes classificados na categoria de bom a excelente; 54,4%, na categoria de ruim a desfavorável e 23,9%, na categoria de nulo a ruim. Conclusão: Os homens submetidos à PR durante o período do estudo ficaram comprometidos na organização e na readaptação às alterações urinárias e sexuais decorrentes do tratamentoRadical prostatectomy (RP) is the most widely used therapeutic method in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the urinary and sexual rehabilitation in the postoperative period. Methods: A study was done of 46 men treated with radical prostatectomy at four time intervals: pre-surgery, three months, six months and one year postsurgery. The following instruments were used: Revised Operational Adaptive Diagnostic Scale - (ROADS); questionnaire for the assessment of male sexual dysfunction - (QS -M); International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ -SF) and the cognitive impairment test (Mini-Mental State Examination - MMSE). In a year of study the statistical analysis quantitatively evaluated the adaptive efficacy in four sectors, structured in the following assumptions: Affective - relational (AR); Productivity (Pr); Organic (Or) and Socio-Cultural (S- C). Results: There was a significant difference in the values of diagnostic suitability for the ROADS between time interval 3 (6 months of RP: G1 8.7%; G2 15.2%; G3 17.4%; G4 28.3%; G5 30.4%) and time interval 4 (1 year RP: G1 8.7%; G2 17.4%; G3 23.9%; G4, 19.6%; G5 30.4%) relative to time interval 1 (pre-surgical: G1 28.3%; G2 17.4%; G3 26.1%; G4 17.4%; G5 10.9%). Additionally at time interval 3 (6 months of RP: G1 8.7%; G2 15.2%; G3 17.4%; G4 28.3%; G5 30.4%) there was a significant increase compared to the second time interval (RP 3 months: G1 10.9%; G2 17.4%; G3 37.0%; G4 17.4%; G5 17.4%). The ICIQ-SF diagnosed significant differences between all four time intervals (p < 0.001). The MMSE resulted in time interval 2 (1year os RP) having significantly higher values than those presented pre-surgery in time interval 1 (p = 0.001). The QS-M revealed that 80.5% of the patients were found to have a good to excellent score in relation to sexual performance and that 19.5% had an unfavorable to regular score prior to surgery. At time interval 4 (one year PR), the findings were: 21.7% of patients were classified as good to excellent; 54.4% were classified as bad to unfavorable and 23.9% were in the null to bad category. Conclusion: The men submitted to PR during the study period were committed to the organization and rehabilitation of the urinary and sexual changes due to treatment

Full textAbstract:
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da incontinência urinária na vida sexual de mulheres, com indicação de tratamento cirúrgico pelas técnicas de suporte suburetral, assim como identificar se a correção dessa moléstia pode representar evolução na vida sexual dessas pacientes, resultando em melhora na sua qualidade de vida. Casuística e Métodos: Foram estudadas 64 mulheres heterossexuais com indicação para o tratamento de incontinência urinária aos esforços pelas técnicas de suporte suburetral no período de agosto de 2001 a setembro de 2002, através do questionário The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), modificado pela introdução de uma questão para avaliar o impacto da perda urinária, aplicado no pré-operatório e seis meses após a realização do procedimento cirúrgico. Resultado: Das 64 pacientes submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico de incontinência urinária aos esforços pela técnica de suporte suburetral, 60,94% tinham atividade sexual, enquanto 39,06% não a apresentavam. Ressalte-se que a faixa etária influenciou estatisticamente o resultado. Das pacientes sem atividade sexual, 44% alegaram a ausência de parceiro como a causa, enquanto 40% atribuíram a ausência de atividade sexual à diminuição da libido. Do grupo de pacientes com atividade sexual, 59% tinham perdas urinárias no ato sexual. Destas, 87% apresentavam perdas urinárias em metade ou mais de suas relações sexuais. Na avaliação dos domínios desejo, excitação, lubrificação, orgasmo, satisfação e dor, bem como na totalização das pontuações comparativas entre o pré-operatório e seis meses após a realização do tratamento cirúrgico, não encontramos diferença estatisticamente significativa. A análise da pontuação das perdas urinárias durante o ato sexual, porém, foi significativamente melhor no pós-operatório. A avaliação dos diversos domínios não foi significativamente diferente quando comparamos o tipo de suporte utilizado (autólogo ou sintético) no ato operatório. Conclusão: a) A faixa etária exerce influência na Atividade Sexual. b) A perda urinária na atividade sexual é freqüente em pacientes com incontinência urinária aos esforços, tendo impacto negativo na sua qualidade sexual. c) A cirurgia apresentou índices de cura superiores a 90% nas perdas urinárias durante o ato sexual e não prejudicou a atividade sexual das pacientes. d) A melhora da função sexual, quando ocorreu, foi subjetivamente relacionada com o aumento desejo sexual, e não decorrente da redução das perdas urinárias durante o relacionamento sexual após tratamento cirúrgico. e) O tipo de suporte utilizado (autólogo ou sintético) não exerce influência nos resultados obtidos. f) As pacientes que se curaram da incontinência urinária aos esforços não apresentaram melhora em relação à função sexual.Objective: To evaluate urinary incontinence impact in the sexual life of women with recomendation for surgical treatment by sub-urethral support techniques, as well as to identify if correction of the pathology can represent an improvement on patients´ sexual life, generating better quality of life. Casuistic and Methods: 64 heterosexual women with indication for surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence through suburethral support techniques were studied from August 2001 to September 2002, through the questionnaire The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) modified by the introduction of one question to evaluate urinary loss impact, applied in the preoperative period and six months after surgery. Result: Of the 64 patients submitted to surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence by sub-urethral support techniques, 60,94% had regular sexual activity, while 39,06% didn't, being age a statistically significant factor in this result. Of the patients without sexual activity, 44% stated that the absence of a partner was the cause, while 40% attributed sexual abstinence to low desire. In the group of patients with sexual activity, 59% had urinary loss during sexual intercourse, and, of those, 87% had urinary losses in half or more of their sexual relations. Regarding evaluation of desire, stimulation, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain, as well as sum the scores comparatively between the preoperative period and six months after surgical treatment, there was no statistically significant difference; however the analysis of scores for urinary losses during sexual intercourse were significantly better in the postoperative period. There was not statistically significant difference with respect to all the factors above when we compared the kind of sub-urethral support employed (autologue vs. synthetic). Conclusions: a) Age influences Sexual Activity. b) Urinary loss during sexual activity is frequent in patients with stress urinary incontinence and it is associated with a negative impact in the quality of the relation. c) Surgery was responsible for cure rates above 90% to urinary losses during sexual intercourse. d) The sub-urethral support surgery did not jeopardize the sexual activity of our patients. d) The kind of sub-urethral support employed (autologue or synthetic) does not have any influence on the results. f) The patients that were cured of the stress urinary incontinence did not present improvement regarding the sexual function.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how men experience living with localized prostate cancer. It includes four substudies carried out between 1997 and 2005. To gather data, the men were interviewed at home and the interviews were recorded. The men (n=27; ages 60-70) who participated in the substudies had a PSA ≤10 ng/ml at the time of diagnosis, and had what is known as low-risk prostate cancer. Seven of the men chose to “wait and see” how the disease would progress after receiving the diagnosis. Twenty men chose curative treatment (10 men external radiation therapy, 10 men radical surgery). The interviews were analyzed using a phenomenological hermeneutical method inspired by the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur, and qualitative content analysis. Men who live with localized prostate cancer perceive the disease as life-threatening, unpredictable, and without early symptoms, which creates a sense of uncertainty, worry, anxiety, despair, and fear of death. Men primarily share perceptions of the disease and treatment with their wives and relatives, as well as with other men in the same situation. They avoid talking about their illness, and keep their innermost thoughts about their disease, prognosis, and the future to themselves. The choice to share their thoughts and feelings only sparingly with others is related in part to the perceived stigmatization of the diagnosis, as well as to consideration for friends and family. The men report that external radiation therapy and radical surgery have negative side effects such as erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and intestinal leakage. They describe the side effects as socially isolating; for example, urinary leakage can require a change of incontinence pads and clothing, and they feel that they smell bad. Men with erectile dysfunction describe themselves as maimed, and their sex lives have changed or disappeared. They report a change in their self-esteem and identity as men and they long for life as it was before the diagnosis, when they felt they had control over their bodily functions. A few men describe a sense of being literally and figuratively “exposed” when they are undressed for examinations or participate in discussions with female doctors and nurses about their erectile dysfunction. They do not describe this perception in the same way with respect to contact with male personnel. In the new situation after treatment, men try to regain a perceived sense of control in their daily lives, over the disease and the effects of treatment. They experience a sense of control over the disease through regular PSA tests; the implications of regular PSA tests can be interpreted as a life preserver in an uncertain world, considering that at the time they were diagnosed they had no symptoms and only had a PSA elevation. The PSA is important for this sense of control, and each PSA test is preceded by tense expectation. The PSA level is described as a reliable expression of the medical condition. The men cannot trust that their own perception of feeling healthy means that the disease is under control. Low and stable PSA levels over a long period of time give a sense of safety, security, and control over the situation. If the PSA climbs, the men feel that despite everything, they have caught it in time for further treatment. Discussions with other men with prostate cancer are also described as a way of having control over the situation. The men's endeavor to reconcile themselves to the new situation can be understood as a process, where they describe various strategies which can be used to forget the “cancer perspective” and achieve a perception of safety and security. Reconciliation with a new situation can be interpreted as a reorientation after the trauma of the cancer diagnosis. The study results show that the men are restrained in communicating their needs to others, which can be interpreted as their having a greater need for support and information than indicated by their signals. Having an internal image of what a man should be like can be an obstacle to showing these needs.

As disfunções urinárias ou sexuais do idoso são subnotificadas. Porém, são de alta prevalência e associadas a diversos prejuízos psicossociais. O presente estudo visa à identificação da prevalência dessas condições por meio de questionários. Utilizou-se o Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male (ADAM) para avaliação de função sexual do homem, questões sobre função sexual feminina e masculina e, o International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) para avaliação de função urinária masculina e feminina. Temos o objetivo de realizar uma investigação nos indivíduos não institucionalizados, acima de 60 anos de idade, para obtermos dados referentes à sua saúde sexual e urinária nas cidades: São Paulo, Campinas, Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo, São Caetano e Londrina. Foram distribuídos cerca de 6000 questionários, sendo utilizados para estudo 3425, com 1575 homens e 1850 mulheres. Em relação ao ADAM, obtivemos 92,49% dos 1385 avaliados com suspeita de apresentarem distúrbio androgênico do envelhecimento masculino (DAEM). Quanto à função sexual masculina, evidenciamos que 383 (32,19%) apresentavam queixas eretivas, 458 (37,54%) de ejaculação precoce e 790 (59,13%) admitiram a necessidade de tratamento para melhorar o desempenho sexual. Quanto à função sexual feminina, 1300 (74,07%) não praticam relação sexual e os principais motivos foram: falta de parceiro, falta de desejo sexual e problema de saúde do parceiro. Além disso, 988 (78,41%) das mulheres que não têm relação sexual admitem estar bem assim e não querem sexo e mais importante: aproximadamente 21% dessas gostariam de ter relação sexual. Quanto à qualidade da relação sexual feminina, 272 (64,92%) acham a relação boa para ambos, 105 (25,06%) boa só para o parceiro e 33 (7,88%) ruim para ambos. Em relação ao IPSS masculino, observamos piora gradual no padrão miccional com o aumento da idade, dos sintomas moderados e graves, principalmente após os 75 anos, sendo os mais prevalentes: nictúria, urgência miccional e aumento da frequência urinária. Quanto ao IPSS feminino, notamos que, mesmo após os 80 anos, a maioria das mulheres (53,37%) apresenta sintomas leves relacionados à disfunção miccional; com o aumento da idade, ocorre um aumento gradual do resultado do IPSS, relacionado com os sintomas moderados e graves, sendo que o pico ocorre após os oitenta anos. Sendo assim, devido ao grande número de distúrbios sexuais e urinários encontrados, deixamos um alerta para que um maior número de medidas de Saúde Pública sejam implantadas, melhorando promover uma melhor qualidade de vida nessa população idosaUrinary or sexual dysfunction in the elderly are underreported. However, are highly prevalent and associated with various psychosocial damage. This study aims to identify the prevalence of these conditions. We used the Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male (ADAM) to assess sexual function of men, questions of male and female sexual function, and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) for evaluation the urinary function. The aim is to carry out an investigation in non-institutionalized individuals over 60 years of age, to obtain data on its sexual and urinary health in: São Paulo, Campinas, Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo, São Caetano and Londrina. They were distributed about 6,000 questionnaires being used to study 3425, with 1575 men and 1850 women. Compared to ADAM, obtained 92.49% of the 1385 evaluated suspected of presenting androgen disorder of aging male (ADAM). As for the male sexual function, we showed that 383 (32.19%) had erective complaints, 458 (37.54%) of premature ejaculation and 790 (59.13%) admitted the need for treatment to improve sexual performance. As for the female sexual function, 1300 (74.07%) did not practice sexual intercourse and the main reasons were: lack of partner, lack of sexual desire and partner health problem. In addition, 988 (78.41%) of women who haven\'t sexual intercourse admit to being like that and not want sex and, more importantly, about 21% of them would like to have sexual intercourse. As for the quality of the female sex, 272 (64.92%) think the relation is good for both, 105 (25.06%) only good for the partner and 33 (7.88%) bad for both. IPSS when compared to males, we see gradual worsening of urinary pattern with increasing age, related with the moderate and severe symptoms, especially after 75 years, being the most prevalents: nocturia, urinary urgency and urinary frequency. As for the female IPSS, we note that even after 80 years, the majority of women (53.37%) have mild symptoms related to voiding dysfunction; with increasing age there is a gradual increase in the result of the IPSS, associated with moderate and severe symptoms, where the peak occurs after the age of eighty. Thus, due to the large number of sexual and urinary disorders found, left a warning to a greater number of public health measures are implemented, improving promote a better quality of life in this elderly population

AbstractUreteral stents have a major role in urology and are used mainly to achieve correct renal drainage. Ureteral stents are very effective and their use in recent decades has clearly increased. However, more than 80% of patients with an ureteral stent present associated symptoms, such as pain, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), sexual dysfunction… leading to an important drop in the quality of life (QoL). Our objective is to describe ureteral stent related symptoms and their impact on the quality of life of patients.

AbstractDouble ureteral stents are amongst the commonest procedures performed in urology. However, there are complications such as infection, and encrustation associated with its use, together with uncomfortable lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The latter are known as stent related symptoms (SRS) and are commonly reported in the scientific literature. SRS mentioned in literature are urgency, frequency, dysuria, haematuria, pain in the suprapubic and flank region. These can result in decreased sexual activity, reduced work performance, as well as decreased quality of life (QoL) in more than two-third of the patients. Drugs still hold the key in reducing the morbidity related to the ureteral stents.In terms of monotherapy, Alpha blockers as well as Antimuscarinics are effective in reducing SRS. Role of Mirabegron in the field is currently gaining importance. However, combination therapy reaches better outcomes than monotherapy alone while in cases with sexual dysfunction along with stent related symptoms, PDE5-I are better than other options. The role of complementary therapy for SRS with natural remedies is promising but needs to be assessed further. More randomized studies and laboratory trials are necessary to analyse possible alternative treatments for SRS that can heavily affects patients’ quality of life.

The vagina plays a focal point in support by directly supporting the bladder, urethra, uterus, and rectum. The vagina also is a central location for connective tissue and muscle attachments. Failure in any component of this intricate support system can lead to the development of pelvic floor disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary and fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction.

A cross-sectional observational study was carriedout, with 31 female patients, aged between 20 and 35 years (26.0 ± 4.2),divided into group G1 with 18 women practicing physical activity with practicetime less than 3 years and the G2 group with 13 women practicing physicalactivity for more than 3 years. As evaluation instruments were used: TheInternational Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ –SF) and theICIQ-VS questionnaire. The results showed a greater severity of voidingsymptoms in women in group G2, with a severity score of 6.0 and group G1 hada severity score of 3.1, chi-square=5.19 and p=0.07. Regarding vaginalsymptoms, G2 showed a prevalence of 61.5%, which may be indicative of POP.In the present study, a high prevalence of UI symptoms was observed inwomen who practice physical activity, when related to the time of practice, therewas the presence of mild UI in Group G1 andmoderate in Group G2 (p=0.07),presenting a higher impairment of the quality of life of the G2 group (p=0.01).

Full textAbstract:
Context: Arteriovenous dural fistulas are the most common spinal vascular malformations and constitute a reversible cause of progressive myelopathy. This disease affects elderly men and are classically found at the thoracolumbar region. Case report: A 69year-old man was admitted to the Neurology outpatient clinic with weakness in his left inferior limb for the past 10 years; 2 years before the evaluation, the weakness progressed also to the right inferior limb, causing inability to walk, and 1 year after the patient noticed urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Physical evaluation showed grade-II paraparesis with spastic hypertonia; hypoesthesia below T-10 dermatome; hyperreflexia with clonus and Babinski sign in inferior limbs. Investigation with MRI showed abnormal hypersignal within spinal cord from T6-T7 to the medullary cone; CSF sample had hyper protein count without pleocytosis. Before the hypothesis of non- compressive, non-inflammatory and non-infectious myelopathy, we performed a spinal angiography – which diagnosed a dural arteriovenous fistula at the level of T8 connecting spinal with extradural vessels. The patient was then treated by endovascular therapy with fistula embolization. Conclusion: Although being the most common vascular spinal malformation, arteriovenous dural fistulas are rare and underdiagnosed because of their nonspecific symptoms. The aim of treatment is the shunt occlusion but its prognosis depends on the duration and intensity of symptoms before treatment. This report’s aim is to exemplify a typical case of this condition.

Full textAbstract:
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a condition of the female pelvic system suffered by a significant proportion of women in the U.S. and more across the globe, every year. POP is caused by the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and musculo-connective tissues due to child birth, menopause and morbid obesity. Prolapse of the pelvic organs namely the urinary bladder, uterus, and rectum into the vaginal canal can cause vaginal discomfort, strained urination or defecation, and sexual dysfunction. To date, success rates of native tissue POP surgeries vary from 50–70% depending on the definition of cure and time-point of assessment. A better understanding of the mechanics of prolapse may lead to improvement in surgical outcomes. In the current work, the mechanics of progression of anterior and posterior vaginal prolapse were modeled to understand the effect of bladder fill and posterior vaginal stresses using computational approaches. A realistic and full-scale female pelvic system model, comprised of the urinary bladder, vaginal canal, uterus, rectum, and fascial connective tissue, was developed using image segmentation methods. All of the relevant loads and boundary conditions were applied based on a comprehensive study of the anatomy and functional morphology of the female pelvis. Hyperelastic material models were adopted to characterize all pelvic tissues, and a non-linear analysis was invoked. In the first set of simulations, a realistic bladder filling and vaginal tissue stiffening in prolapse were modeled and their effects on the anterior vaginal wall (AVW) were estimated in terms of the induced stresses, strains and displacements. The degree of bladder filling was found to be a strong indicator of stress build-up on the AVW. Also, vaginal tissue stiffening was found to increase the size of the high stress zone on the AVW. The second simulation consisted of modeling the different degrees of posterior vaginal wall (PVW) prolapse, in the presence of an average abdominal pressure. The vaginal length was segmented into four sections to study the localized stresses and strains. Also, a clinically well-known phenomena known as the kneeling effect was observed with the PVW in which the vaginal wall displaces away from the rectum and downward towards the vaginal hiatus. All of these results have relevant clinical implications and may provide important perspective for better understanding the mechanics of POP pathophysiology.

Full textAbstract:
Objective. To update findings from previous Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)- and American Urological Association (AUA) funded reviews evaluating therapies for clinically localized prostate cancer (CLPC). Sources. Bibliographic databases (2013–January 2020); ClinicalTrials.gov; systematic reviews Methods. Controlled studies of CLPC treatments with duration ≥5 years for mortality and metastases and ≥1 year for quality of life and harms. One investigator rated risk of bias (RoB), extracted data, and assessed certainty of evidence; a second checked accuracy. We analyzed English-language studies with low or medium RoB. We incorporated findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) identified in the prior reviews if new RCTs provided information on the same intervention comparison. Results. We identified 67 eligible references; 17 were unique RCTs. Among clinically rather than prostate specific antigen (PSA) detected CLPC, Watchful Waiting (WW) may increase mortality and metastases versus Radical Prostatectomy (RP) at 20+ years. Urinary and erectile dysfunction were lower with WW versus RP. WW’s effect on mortality may vary by tumor risk and age but not by race, health status, comorbidities, or PSA. Active Monitoring (AM) probably results in little to no difference in mortality in PSA detected CLPC versus RP or external beam radiation (EBR) plus Androgen Deprivation (AD) regardless of tumor risk. Metastases were slightly higher with AM. Harms were greater with RP than AM and mixed between EBR plus AD versus AM. 3D-conformal EBR and AD plus low-dose-rate brachytherapy (BT) provided a small reduction in all-cause mortality versus three dimensional conformal EBR and AD but little to no difference on metastases. EBR plus AD versus EBR alone may result in a small reduction in mortality and metastases in higher risk disease but may increase sexual harms. EBR plus neoadjuvant AD versus EBR plus concurrent AD may result in little to no difference in mortality and genitourinary toxicity. Conventionally fractionated EBR versus ultrahypofractionated EBR may result in little to no difference in mortality and metastases and urinary and bowel toxicity. Active Surveillance may result in fewer harms than photodynamic therapy and laparoscopic RP may result in more harms than robotic-assisted RP. Little information exists on other treatments. No studies assessed provider or hospital factors of RP comparative effectiveness. Conclusions. RP reduces mortality versus WW in clinically detected CLPC but causes more harms. Effectiveness may be limited to younger men or to those with intermediate risk disease and requires many years to occur. AM results in little to no mortality difference versus RP or EBR plus AD. EBR plus AD reduces mortality versus EBR alone in higher risk CLPC but may worsen sexual function. Adding low-dose-rate BT to 3D-conformal EBR and AD may reduce mortality in higher risk CLPC. RCTs in PSA-detected and MRI staged CLPC are needed.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: The aims of this study are: 1. To compare urinary complications of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP) in patients with prostate cancer; 2. To compare sexual complications of RARP and LRP in patients with prostate cancer. Condition being studied: Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer; according to 2018 statistics, prostate cancer was responsible for 7.1% of all cancer in men. The primary intervention in such patients is radical prostatectomy surgery (RP), which could be performed in different methods in patients that cancer has not spread beyond the prostate gland or has not spread much. One of the most common types of RP is laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. There are several techniques for performing RP; two are Conventional Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRP) and Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP). Sexual and urinary difficulties can occur in prostate cancer patients due to cancer itself or the treatment. Like any treatment option and surgery, radical prostatectomy can carry risks, like urinary(e.g., incontinency) and sexual complications(e.g., Impotence). In this review, we compared urinary and sexual complications of LRP and RARP.
