- Simple urethral dilatation, endoscopic urethrotomy, and urethroplasty for urethral stricture disease in adult men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2010
Strictures of the urethra are the commonest cause of obstructed micturition in younger men and frequently recur after initial treatment. Standard treatment comprises internal widening of the strictured area by simple dilatation or by telescope-guided int
- Single versus double intrauterine insemination (IUI) in stimulated cycles for subfertile couples
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Sep-2010
Intrauterine insemination, with or without controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, is one of the treatment modalities offered to couples who have tried to conceive for at least one year (subfertile couples). It has been suggested that increasing the number o
- Sperm washing to prevent HIV transmission from HIV-infected men but allowing conception in sero-discordant couples
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2011
Sperm washing is a term used to describe the process in which individual spermatozoa are separated from the seminal fluid. Sperm washing is used to prevent HIV transmission but allow conception in sero-discordant couples, where the male is HIV positive, b
- Steroid hormones for contraception in men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2012

- Strategies for managing sexual dysfunction induced by antidepressant medication

Sexual dysfunction (including altered desire, orgasmic dysfunction, erectile and ejaculatory problems) is a relatively common side effect of antidepressant medication. These sexual side effects may compromise a person's lifestyle and result in a lack of c
- Strategies for partner notification for sexually transmitted diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Partner notification has been practiced for decades, with substantial resources directed towards it, and with little evidence on whether it has made a public health impact on disease transmission. Most of the evaluations were not randomized controlled tri
- Sucrose for analgesia in newborn infants undergoing painful procedures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2009

- Surgery or embolization for varicoceles in subfertile men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Sep-2010
A varicoceles is a meshwork of distended blood vessels in the scrotum, usually left-sided, due to dilatation of the spermatic vein. Although the concept that varicoceles causes, and varicocelectomy cures, male subfertility has been around for almost fifty
- Synchronised approach for intrauterine insemination in subfertile couples.
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Mar-2010
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) should logically be performed around the moment of ovulation. Since spermatozoa and oocytes have only limited survival times correct timing is essential. As it is not known which technique of timing for IUI results in the b
- Techniques for surgical retrieval of sperm prior to intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for azoospermia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Nov-2008
Azoospermia, the absence of sperm in ejaculated semen, is the most severe form of male-factor infertility and is present in approximately 5% of all investigated infertile couples. The advent of intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has transformed trea
