Objective:
To explore the clinical application value of transurethral ureteroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of hemospermia.
Methods:
We summed up and analyzed the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 43 hemospermia patients by transurethral ureteroscopy and douching therapy.
Results:
The disease causes were clearly determined and the therapeutic procedures successfully accomplished in all the cases. The mean surgical time was 20 (18 -45) minutes. No significant complications developed either intraoperatively or postoperatively. The patients were followed up for 1 -24 months, during which hemospermia symptoms completely disappeared in 35 and were relieved in 6 of the cases, but the other 2 remained unimproved. All the patients had normal sexual life and none experienced retroinfection postoperatively.
Conclusion:
Transurethral ureteroscopy, advantageous for its safety, high rate of detection, good effect of treatment and fewer complications, deserves to be popularized in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of hemospermia.
