Abstract

Electronic cigarettes that are currently popular are used as nicotine replacement therapy. There are several substances contained in electronic cigarette liquid that have carcinogenic effects. These substances can also increase free radicals which in turn can cause oxidative stress. Nicotine, propylene glycol, and glycerin can cause disturbances in male reproductive function. Infertility can occur due to lifestyle factors, one of which is smoking. Nicotine found in cigarettes can reduce sperm quality, including concentration, mobility, viability, and sperm morphology. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of electronic cigarettes on sperm quality. The research method uses a literature review system. The twelve studies that are in accordance with the topic of discussion are experimental studies on mice and rats, two studies on human, and one study on both human and rats. Five journals showed a significant decrease in sperm count and testosterone serum level, three other journals showed a significant decrease in sperm morphology and viability, six journals showed a decrease in sperm motility, seven journals showed a significant impairment of testis histological structure, four journals showed a decrease of steroidogenesis enzymes, and one journal showed a significant increase of DNA fragmentation due to the use of electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes had an effect on sperm quality.

Abstract

Based on epidemiological data, the incidence of ED and BPH increases with the same risk factors, such as age, metabolic disease, and others. Aim: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ED and its relationship to age and the presence of hypertension (HT) and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbid in BPH patients. This is a cross-sectional study conducted at RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar and Hermina Hospital Tangku-banprahu Malang utilizes two questionnaires, including the translated version of  The Interna-tional Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and Erectile Hardness Score (EHS) in Indonesian. There were 44 research subjects with only 21 respondents to the IIEF-5 question-naire, while the EHS questionnaire was given to all subjects. The prevalence of ED was found to reach 100.0% at the age of 70-79 years through the IIEF-5 questionnaire and aged ³ 80 years through the EHS questionnaire. The prevalence of ED in BPH patients with HT was found to be higher than non-HT patients through both questionnaires. The prevalence of ED in BPH patients with T2DM was found to be higher through the IIEF-5 questionnaire and slight-ly lower through the EHS questionnaire than non-T2DM patients. Age had a significant rela-tionship with ED through the EHS questionnaire (p = 0.006), while no significant relationship was found through the IIEF-5 questionnaire (p = 1.000). HT and T2DM did not have a signif-icant relationship with ED (IIEF-5: p = 0.229 and 0.526; EHS: p = 0.518 and 1.000). The prevalence of ED in BPH patients increases with age and the presence of comorbid HT and T2DM. Even so, there was no significant relationship between HT and T2DM with ED in BPH patients. A significant relationship between age and ED was only found in the EHS questionnaire but not in the IIEF-5 questionnaire.

Abstract

Sexsomnia is one type of parasomnia that can negatively impact the quality of life for individuals affected and potentially lead to legal complications. The growing prevalence of sexsomnia demands attention due to the widespread misinformation and the misconception that it is not a medical issue. This review will delve deeper into sexsomnia, including its diagnosis and management. Parasomnia refers to undesired physical events or experiences that occur during various stages of sleep. Sexsomnia, a form of parasomnia associated with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, is characterized by unconscious, abnormal sexual behavior. Sexsomnia can manifest during any sleep phase but is most frequently observed during NREM sleep. Clinical manifestations of sexsomnia include vocalizations, fondling, kissing, masturbation, and even engaging in sexual intercourse without recollection upon waking. A comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough medical history and additional investigations such as polysomnography with electroencephalography, aids in establishing a diagnosis of sexsomnia. Presently, there is no definitive treatment for sexsomnia. Management approaches involve non-pharmacological and pharmacological. Sexsomnia, if not recognized as early as possible, can have detrimental effects on both the affected individual and the surrounding environment. Lack of awareness about sexsomnia and hesitation to seek treatment contribute to the lack of information about its prevalence. In-depth knowledge is crucial for accurate diagnosis and determining the appropriate management strategies for this condition. Further research is needed to determine sexsomnia and its management.

Abstract

Infertility is a failure to get pregnant after one year of sexual intercourse without using contraception. The causes of infertility, especially in men, are very complex, including the aging process, hormonal disorders, lifestyle, environment, metabolic disease, and genetic problems. One of the most difficult causes in male infertility  is genetic problems. In this case, a 35 year old man was reported with primary infertility and often experienced premature ejaculation and even anejaculation. Previously, the patient had repeatedly consulted about his condition at other fertility service centers. The conclusion obtained was that the patient had azoospermia with bilateral varicoceles and had been given hormone therapy but had not yet found a final diagnosis so the patient was still confused about what had happened to him. At the first visit the patient underwent a sperm analysis and the results were azoospermia. Then, based on the results of the history and physical examination, which indicated hypogonadism, a Y chromosome microdeletion examination was carried out, and a deletion was found in the AZFc region, which is a marker of infertility that causes spermatogenic failure. The examination was continued with karyotyping, the result was 47.XXY, consistent with the condition of Klinefelter syndrome. Conclusion: Carry out a karyotyping examination if you find signs and symptoms that suggest primary hypogonadism in male infertility. This can be done to streamline the diagnostic approach time in patients with primary hypogonadism, especially those with infertility.

Abstract

Puberty is a transitional period experienced by humans. This period is closely associated with physical, psychological, and emotional changes. Adolescents' responses to puberty can vary. We conducted a qualitative study to determine the definition of puberty and opinions and feelings about facing or experiencing puberty. Our research was conducted in one junior high school by conducting interviews in two focus group discussions. We found two major themes in this study: first is the definition of puberty, and second is the feeling about puberty. Both themes consisted of several sub-themes. The respondents stated that puberty is a maturity period characterized by significant physical, psychological, and emotional changes. The respondents also expressed that they were surprised by the changes they experienced. In addition, for them, puberty is the beginning of new obligations in their social environment. Attraction to the opposite sex makes them more careful and they must be able to control themselves. The need to share friends and role models is one of their recognitions in puberty. Other than that sex education indeed for better information.  This study can be used as a reference for understanding the needs of adolescents regarding puberty so that they can better adapt and maintain sexual and reproductive health for good health and well being.

Abstract

Late Onset Hypogonadism (LOH), commonly known as andropause, poses significant hormonal challenges for elderly men, impacting their overall quality of life. With testosterone levels naturally declining from the age of 30 and accelerating beyond 40, this hormonal imbalance can manifest in symptoms that degrade the well-being of men. This community service initiative aimed to improve understanding and early detection of LOH among the Indonesian male population. A web-based application, "Skrining Andropause" was developed, allowing individuals to self-assess their LOH risk through the validated Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (ADAM) questionnaire. The application included educational videos to enhance public awareness of andropause. Pre- and post-tests were conducted as success indicators, involving 40 male participants aged 40 and above in Malang Regency. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the impact on knowledge related to andropause across different educational backgrounds and age groups. Significant improvement in public understanding of andropause was observed (p=0.000). While educational backgrounds were not significantly associated with initial knowledge (p=0.100), nor with the increase in pre-to-post-test scores (p=0.100). When associating age groups with initial knowledge (p=0.308) and the increase in pre-to-post-test scores (p=0.308), results were not statistically significant. The observed substantial improvement in andropause understanding highlights the efficacy of our educational approach. Respondents, irrespective of educational background, shared a baseline understanding, with those with basic education showing the most significant improvement. Notably, the youngest age group displayed the highest baseline awareness. However, the oldest age group exhibited the least responsiveness to our educational media.
