Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Men's Health

Background:

Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) significantly impacts quality of life for middle-aged men.
Current treatments (pharmacologic, invasive) have variable effectiveness and side effects.
Rezum therapy presents a novel, minimally invasive option for BPH management.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rezum therapy for symptomatic BPH.
To report the initial outcomes of Rezum treatment in Dubai, UAE.
To compare Rezum's outcomes with existing BPH treatment modalities.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 49 patients with symptomatic BPH treated with Rezum.
Assessment of prostate volume, pre- and post-operative post-void residual (PVR), and peak urinary flow (Qmax).
Evaluation of safety, side effects, and follow-up parameters over a mean of three months.

Main Results:

Significant improvement in Qmax (8.11 ml/s, p=0.001) and reduction in PVR (94.32 cm³, p=0.001) post-Rezum therapy.
No significant variation in Qmax and PVR changes based on initial prostate volume.
Rezum demonstrated a favorable safety profile with low rates of sexual dysfunction compared to TURP or medical therapy.

Conclusions:

Rezum therapy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic BPH.
The procedure offers comparable outcomes to trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with improved quality of life.
Further long-term studies are recommended to assess Rezum's implications up to five years post-operatively.
