To determine the efficacy of dried cranberry on reducing symptoms of overactive bladder in women. Eligible women aged 18 or older with overactive bladder were randomized to either daily dried cranberry powder (500mg) or placebo (500mg) and followed for 24-weeks.
Nearly all patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). Untreated NLUTD is a risk factor for renal damage and can significantly affect quality of life (QoL).
An overactive bladder (OAB) is a constellation of lower urinary tract symptoms, including urgency, increased frequency of urination during the day and/or night (nocturia), and, in some cases, urge incontinence.
International Children’s Continence Society (ICCS) recommends urodynamics repeated at least twice for the optimal result. We aimed to search if three times repeating filling urodynamics in the same session would change the urodynamics parameters in children with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) due to myelodysplasia.
We investigated the quality of life (QOL) of a homogenous group of ambulant patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction without significant comorbidities to elucidate the impact of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) on QOL.
Indwelling urinary catheterization is one of the major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI) in hospitalized patients worldwide. A catheter serves as a surface for the colonization and formation of biofilm by UTI-related pathogenic bacteria.
To develop the first Turkish version of the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index Questionnaire?(NIH-CPSI) and to investigate its validity and reliability in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and healthy controls.
Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a connective tissue disorder of the penis characterized by fibrosis and plaque formation within the tunica albuginea. PD is characterized by painful penile curvature that impairs sexual intercourse.
To undertake a prospective multicentre national audit of penile prosthesis practice in the UK over a 3-year period. Data were submitted by urological surgeons as part of the British Association of Urological Surgeons Penile Prosthesis National Audit.
In recent years, there has been a surge in non-conventional therapies for Peyronie’s disease (PD). With increasing interest in these novel therapies, we conducted a narrative review to explore the efficacy and safety of these treatments to provide clarity for patients and providers.
