- Male circumcision for prevention of homosexual acquisition of HIV in men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-May-2011
Previous systematic reviews found inconsistent effects of male circumcision on HIV acquisition in men who have sex with men (MSM). However, a number of new studies have become available in the three years since the last systematic review.
- Maximal androgen blockade for advanced prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2011
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Long standing observations have found prostate cancer responsive to androgen suppression. The primary approach to androgen suppression for men with advanced disease (cancer that has sprea
- Neo-adjuvant and adjuvant hormone therapy for localised and locally advanced prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jun-2009
Hormone therapy for early prostate cancer has demonstrated an improvement in clinical and pathological variables, but not always an improvement in overall survival. We performed a systematic review of both adjuvant and neo-adjuvant hormone therapy combine
- Nonoxynol-9 for preventing vaginal acquisition of sexually transmitted infections by women from men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Dec-2011
The incidence and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and other reproductive tract infections (RTI) is high in much of the developing and parts of the developed worlds. STIs and RTIs are associated with the vaginal transmission of HIV. Add
- Non‐surgical interventions for late radiation cystitis in patients who have received radical radiotherapy to the pelvis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2002
Chronic radiation cystitis occurs a minimum of three months after completion of pelvic radiotherapy and represents a range of clinical symptoms for which there is as yet no recommended standard management.
- Number of embryos for transfer following in vitro fertilisation or intra‐cytoplasmic sperm injection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Aug-2020
Transfer of more than one embryo during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) increases multiple pregnancy rates resulting in an increased risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity. Elective single embryo transfer offers a
- Pain relief for neonatal circumcision
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2004
Circumcision is a painful procedure that many newborn males undergo in the first few days after birth. Interventions are available to reduce pain at circumcision; however, many newborns are circumcised without pain management.
- Phosphodiesterase inhibitors for erectile dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Erectile dysfunction is a common multi-factorial complication of diabetes mellitus. Numerous strategies have been tried to overcome this diabetic complication. In recent years, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors have been introduced in the manage
- Population-based biomedical sexually transmitted infection control interventions for reducing HIV infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2011
The transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is closely related to the sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Similar risk behaviours, such as frequent unprotected intercourse with different partners, place people at high
- Primary cryotherapy for localised or locally advanced prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-May-2018
Traditionally, radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy have been the main treatment options to attempt to cure men with localised or locally advanced prostate cancer. Cryotherapy is an alternative option for tre
- Prostaglandin E1 for treatment of erectile dysfunction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Apr-2004
Erectile dysfunction (ED), the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity, is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions in men. ED may have a dramatic impact on the quality of life of many men and their partn
- Psychosocial interventions for erectile dysfunction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2008
Normal sexual function is a biopsychosocial process and relies on the coordination of psychological, endocrine, vascular, and neurological factors. Recent data show that psychological factors are involved in a substantial number of cases of erectile dysfu
- Psychosocial interventions for premature ejaculation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jun-2011
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a very common sexual dysfunction among patients, and with varying prevalence estimates ranging from 3% to 20%. Although psychological issues are present in most patients with premature PE, as a cause or as a consequence, rese
- Pygeum africanum for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-1998
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate, can lead to obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The pharmacologic use of plants and herbs (phytotherapy) for the treatment of LUTS associated with BP
- Radical prostatectomy versus deferred treatment for localised prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jun-2020
Prostate cancer is a common cancer but is oftentimes slow growing. When confined to the prostate, radical prostatectomy (RP), which involves removal of the prostate, offers potential cure that may come at the price of adverse events. Deferred treatment, i
- Scalpel versus no‐scalpel incision for vasectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2014
Currently, the two most common surgical techniques for approaching the vas during vasectomy are the incisional method and the no-scalpel technique. Whereas the conventional incisional technique involves the use of a scalpel to make one or two incisions, t
- Screening for prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2013
Any form of screening aims to reduce disease-specific and overall mortality, and to improve a person's future quality of life. Screening for prostate cancer has generated considerable debate within the medical and broader community, as demonstrated by the
- Screening for testicular cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2011
Testicular cancer commonly affects men aged between 20 and 35 years. Screening for testicular cancer may reduce both morbidity and mortality, yet the effectiveness of any method is unknown. Equally, screening may also promote treatment procedures that are
- Serenoa repens for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate, which can lead to obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The pharmacologic use of plants and herbs (phytotherapy) for the treatment of LUTS associat
- Short term urinary catheter policies following urogenital surgery in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Urinary catheterisation (by the urethral or suprapubic routes) is common following urogenital surgery. There is no consensus on how to minimize complications and practice varies.
