In a 12-month period, oxidase-positive, Gram-negative cocci showing similar characteristics in biochemical tests have been isolated from the urogenital tract of 39 male and female patients. Although these organisms superficially resemble Neisseria gonorrhoeae, biochemical characterization and the results of DNA base composition analysis indicate that they do not belong to the genus Neisseria. T...

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is a complex biopsychosocial phenomenon. Screening, identifying and managing urogenital and sexual symptoms often result in significant improvement in women's quality of life. Providers must proactively question patients about possible presence of FSD. When a sexual problem is present, identify the type of FSD, counsel patients on the appropriate approaches to tr...

The incidence of urogenital chlamydia infections among selected patients in Kumasi, Ghana was evaluated using an immunofluorescent monoclonal antibody technique. Chlamydia trachomatis was identified in 4 of 110 patients presenting for prenatal care, 2 of 55 female patients with infertility and 6 of 15 males with acute urethritis. The findings demonstrate that C. trachomatis is a frequently iden...

Congenital malformations of the female genital tract are defined as deviations from normal anatomy resulting poor embryonic development Mulllerian or para-mesonephricducts. The importance these varies greatly depending on stage embryological condition, which can range a simple vaginal septum to total absence utero-vaginal axis. They relatively common and affect around 3-4% women represent 10% c...

we report a case of human urogenital myiasis in an 86-year-old rural man with a penil ulcer and numerous alive and motile larvae from urethra and glans penis. entomological studies on adult flies showed the larvae were lucilia sericata   and wohlfahrtia magnifica . the clinical presentation and treatment strategies are discussed.

BACKGROUND Urogenital mycoplasmas are potentially pathogenic species causing genitourinary tract infections that may be initially asymptomatic but can progress and lead to severe complications and threaten reproductive health. However, the overall prevalence rate of this bacterium and its probable impacts on fertility potential have yet to be determined. METHODS We searched both English and P...

Female genital schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Schistosoma haematobium. Infected females may suffer from symptoms mimicking sexually transmitted infections. We explored if self-reported history of unsafe water contact could be used as a simple predictor of genital schistosomiasis. In a cross-sectional study in rural South Africa, 883 sexually active women aged 16-22 ye...

The prostate develops in the urogenital sinus (UGS) under the influence of androgens. Whilst free androgens can enter the cell to activate the androgen receptor and induce prostate development, approximately 98.5% of androgens in plasma are bound to binding proteins such as sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). There is increasing evidence that an alternative pathway for androgens to enter targe...
