Influence of hypogonadism on the results of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains unexplored. At the survey included 98 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent TURP. Revealed that the postoperative period in patients characterized by a significant decrease in the level of performance testosteronemii in all cases, and against the background of hypogonadism accompanied by the development of more complications. Preoperative correction of hypogonadism for 2 weeks prior to surgery allows a 2-3 times lower risk of postoperative complications.
The results of 2500 implantations we have developed semi-rigid prostheses, made between 1981 and 2013. Demonstrated surgical technique, its high efficacy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction resistant to drug therapy, and the low rate of postoperative complications.
We developed a questionnaire to determine the male sexuality , which is determined by sexual history retrospectively in 105 patients aged 39 to 81 years. According to the results of the survey in a group of patients with normal sexuality included 33,33%, of the men in the group with reduced sexuality 35,24%, in the group with increased sexuality – 31,43% men. It was determined that the questionnaire can effectively divide the men by their level of sexuality. A number of trusted dependency between sexuality of patients with symptomatic BPH , and the following criteria: the severity of symptoms of the lower urinary tract , the average size of the prostate gland, PSA blood, testosterone levels. Separation of patients in terms of sexuality by the author questionnaire can serve as a tool to assess the main clinical manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia , and also identify early signs of hypogonadism .
According to existing ideas erectile dysfunction is one of the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) associated with prostatic pathology . However, erectile dysfunction is not pathognomonic for this state. This paper presents the results of 249 patients CPPS obtained by filling out questionnaires NIH-CPSI; I-PSS; IIEF-5 . Shown separately symptomatology of inflammatory and non-inflammatory forms of CPPS . The frequency of an identified pain, symptoms of the lower urinary tract in detail the structure of erectile dysfunction and its relationship between the presence and severity of pain and urinary disorders.

There is presentation of paths of the pathogenesis of renal scaring from vesico-ureteral reflux at this article. Author demonstrated the role of macrophage and tissue monocyte in process of the inflammatory remodeling of interstitial renal tissue. Different cell signals affects interstitial tissue and activates fibroblast ploliferation and interstitial volume increasing. Cytokines such us monocyte chemotactic peptide-1, epidermal growth factor, macrophage colony stimulating factor, transforming growth factor-β1plays important role within process renal scaring and remodeling. Urinary tract infection causes expressed medullar renal scaring by toxins and inductive endogenic cytokines.
