Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2008
Oligo-astheno-teratospermia (sperm of low concentration, reduced motility and increased abnormal morphology) of unknown cause is common and the need for treatment is felt by patients and doctors alike. As a result, a variety of empirical, non-specific tre
- Antibiotic prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2011
Transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB) is a well established procedure used to obtain tissue for the histological diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate. Despite the fact that TRPB is generally considered a safe procedure, it may be accompanied by traumatic a
- Antioxidants for male subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-May-2022
The inability to have children affects 10% to 15% of couples worldwide. A male factor is estimated to account for up to half of the infertility cases with between 25% to 87% of male subfertility considered to be due to the effect of oxidative stress. Oral
- Assisted hatching on assisted conception (in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI))
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2021
Failure of implantation and conception may result from inability of the blastocyst to escape from its outer coat, which is known as the zona pellucida. Artificial disruption of this coat is known as assisted hatching and has been proposed as a method for
- Assisted reproductive technologies for male subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Feb-2016
Intra-uterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are frequently used fertility treatments for couples with male subfertility. The use of these treatments has been subject of discussion. Knowledge o

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jul-1999
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

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Dec-2017
The prevalence and incidence of pain and skeletal complications of metastatic bone disease such as pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression and hypercalcemia is high and an important contributor to morbidity, poor performance status and decreased qua

- Cernilton for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2011
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
- Chemotherapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Jun-2008
Prostate cancer mainly affects elderly men, and its incidence has steadily increased over the last decade. The management of this disease is replete with controversy. In men with advanced, metastatic prostate cancer, hormone therapy is almost universally
- Cleavage‐stage versus blastocyst‐stage embryo transfer in assisted reproductive technology
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-May-2022
Advances in embryo culture media have led to a shift in in vitro fertilisation (IVF) practice from cleavage-stage embryo transfer to blastocyst-stage embryo transfer. The rationale for blastocyst-stage transfer is to improve both uterine and embryonic syn
- Clomiphene citrate for unexplained subfertility in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
The effectiveness of clomiphene citrate has been demonstrated in the treatment of subfertility associated with infrequent or irregular ovulation. The physiologic effects and clinical benefits in ovulatory women with unexplained subfertility are less clear

- Day three versus day two embryo transfer following in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Dec-2016
Embryo transfer (ET) was traditionally performed two days after oocyte retrieval; however, developments in culture media have allowed embryos to be maintained in culture for longer periods. Delaying transfer from Day two to Day three would allow for furth
