Its natural history is spontaneous regression, leading to conservative management adoption. We report an exceptional case of a 13-year-old female with a persistent congenital paraurethral cyst, leading to dysuria. We surgically excised the cyst, and the outcomes were unremarkable 20 months postoperatively.展开更多

Acupuncture with the needle warmed by burning moxa at Guanyuan point was added for the patient of Yang-deficiency of the spleen and kidney; Acupuncture at Taixi (KI3) point was added for the patient of Yin-deficiency of the kidny; Electroacupuncture at Zhibian point was added for the patient with stagnation of qi and stasis of blood. As a result, 8 cases were basically cured, 3 were markedly effective and one was lneffective. The effective rate was 92 %.展开更多

Methods To analyze 66 cases of dysuria after hyperplasia of prostate operation retrospectively. Result The most common reasons to dysuria are orderly stenosis of bladder neck; inflammatory edema of bladder neck; urethral stricture; rehyperplasia of remained prostate tissue; neruogenic bladder; prominence of ureteral crest; clot obstruction. Conclusion Prevention of dysuria after hyperplasia of prostate operation consists in preoperative satisfied diagnosis and correct treatment in operation and after operation.展开更多

No fuzi-cake-separated moxibustion was performed in the control group. After treatment, the score for symptoms of first urination, urinary time, urinary volume, 24 h remaining urinary volume, incidence of uroschesis, and rate of controlling dysuria were compared to evaluate the curative effect of preventing post-operative dysuria.RESULTS: The score for symptoms of first urination,24 h remaining urinary volume(maximum 120 m L vs 250 m L, and less than 10 m L in 24 cases vs 15 cases), and the rate of controlling dysuria(83.34% vs30%) were significantly better(P<0.05, P<0.05, and P<0.001, respectively) in the treatment compared with the control group. There was no statistical difference(P>0.05) between the two groups in first post-operative urinary time, urinary volume, or incidence of 24 h uroschesis.CONCLUSION: Fuzi-cake-separated moxibustion at Zhongji(CV 3) and Guanyuan(CV 4) can better prevent post-operative dysuria, effectively promote the functional restoration of the urinary bladder,and control the incidence of post-operative dysuria.展开更多

Objectives: Check if office ultrasound is beneficial in the outpatient clinic, helpful in the management, affected by the economic crisis, and determine in which condition it is sufficient. Materials and Methods: Between 2012 and 2022, one thousand files were prospectively collected randomly. Many objectives were chosen to evaluate the impact of the economic crisis on the use of ultrasound, identify the clinical conditions where ultrasound is beneficial, determine the conditions where ultrasound was sufficient, and determine if ultrasound findings were helpful for management. Results: The economic crisis did not impact the use of ultrasound, when the chief complaint was flank pain, 56.7% had positive findings. In 54%, ultrasound was helpful to avoid the need for further imaging, and in 93.5%, ultrasound was helpful in the management of patients. When the chief complaint was LUTS, 25.6% had positive findings while 82.9% did not require further imaging, in 78.6%, ultrasound was helpful in the management. In the case of hematuria, 60.7% had positive findings, 20% did not need further imaging, and 81% of ultrasounds were helpful in the management. When patients present with urgency 31% had positive findings, 93.7% did not require more imaging and 76% of ultrasounds were helpful in management. In the case of dysuria as the chief complaint, 35.8% had positive findings, 77.7% did not need more imaging, and helpful in the management of 62.8%. Conclusion: Ultrasound is a valuable cost-effective tool in the outpatient clinic urology clinic for diagnosing and monitoring. It is safe, painless, and can be repeated easily which makes it the precious Urologist’s stethoscope.展开更多
