    Abstract We sought to characterize the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and barriers to treatment among male physicians. Between June and December 2022, male physicians were invited to complete a questionnaire regarding sexual function. Surveys were disseminated electronically via social media and professional medical societies using Qualtrics (Provo, UT). In totla, 235 responses were included in the final analysis. The mean age of respondents was 36.3 ± 7.4 years (range 23-72). 27 (11.5%) reported having seen a doctor for sexual health. Of these 27, 40.7% saw a physician for erectile dysfunction, 29.6% for low libido, 22.2% for premature ejaculation, 7.4% for delayed ejaculation, and 33.3% for other concerns. An additional 29 (12.3%) considered establishing care for sexual issues but didn't, mostly due to being too busy. 46 (19.6%) respondents reported having taken medication to improve erectile function. Therefore, in a cohort of young male physicians, 23.8% had seen or considered seeing a doctor for sexual health concerns, and nearly 1 in 5 had taken medication for erectile dysfunction. Male physicians appear to be at higher risk for sexual dysfunction than the general population and face significant and unique barriers in access to care for sexual dysfunction.

    Abstract Background: Male factor infertility (MFI) is a common medical condition which requires high-quality research to guide clinical practice; however, systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) often vary in quality, raising concerns regarding the validity of their results. We sought to perform an objective analysis of SRs and MAs in MFI treatment and management and to report on the quality of published literature.
    Methods: A comprehensive search in PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase was used to identify relevant publications. Primary search terms were male infertility, male sterility, and male subfertility. Two authors independently performed searches, screened citations for eligibility, extracted data for analysis, and graded methodological quality using the validated AMSTAR (A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews) instrument, a validated tool used in the critical appraisal of SRs/MAs.
    Results: Of 27 publications met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Mean AMSTAR score (± SD) among all publications was 7.4 (1.9) out of 11, reflecting "fair to good" quality. Non-pharmacological medical treatment for MFI was the most commonly assessed intervention (n = 13, 48.1%). No publications met all AMSTAR criteria. While the number of SRs/MAs has increased over time (P = 0.037), the quality of publications has not significantly changed (P = 0.72). SRs/MAs of the Cochrane Library had higher AMSTAR score than non-Cochrane SRs/MAs (8.5 vs 6.3, P = 0.002).
    Conclusions: The methodological quality of SRs/MAs should be assessed to ensure high-quality evidence for clinical practice guidelines in MFI treatment and management. This review highlights a need for increased effort to publish high-quality studies in MFI treatment and management.

    Abstract Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of elevated blood pressure (EBP), hypertension (HTN), and obesity among men presenting for fertility evaluation. Methods We retrospectively evaluated all men presenting for male infertility consultation at a single institution from 2000 to 2018. Blood pressure (BP) measurements were abstracted from the electronic health record, and EBP/HTN was defined according to American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines (systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 120 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 80 mmHg). Descriptive statistics were used to compare demographic and clinical characteristics of men with and without EBP/HTN or obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m

    Abstract INTRODUCTION We sought to describe clinical characteristics and identify prognostic factors among patients with primary malignancies of the epididymis (PMEs).
    Materials and methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975-2015) was queried to identify patients with PME. Descriptive statistics and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used.
    Results: Eighty-nine patients with PME were identified. Median age was 57 years (5-85), and median overall survival (OS) was 16.8 years. The most commonly represented histologies were rhabdomyosarcoma (19.1%), B-cell lymphoma (16.9%), leiomyosarcoma (16.9%), and liposarcoma (12.4%). In multivariable analysis, tumor size ≥ 4 cm was associated with worse OS (HR = 4.46, p = 0.01) compared to tumors < 4 cm. Patients with nonsarcomatoid histology had OS similar to patients with sarcomatoid histology (HR = 0.95, p = 0.92). Disease with regional invasion (HR = 5.19, p = 0.007) and distant metastasis (HR = 29.80, p = 0.0002) had worse OS compared to localized disease. Receipt of radiotherapy was associated with enhanced OS (HR = 0.10, p = 0.006), whereas receipt of chemotherapy was not associated with OS.
    Conclusions: We describe the largest cohort of PMEs to date. Larger lesions and tumor stage were independently associated with poor overall survival, while receipt of radiotherapy was associated with enhanced overall survival.

    Abstract Background: Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) is the gold standard treatment for men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). However, many men do not elect to pursue this surgical intervention. We aimed to identify factors associated with NOA patients undergoing mTESE after initial evaluation by a reproductive urologist (RU) through a retrospective cohort study.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed NOA patient who underwent evaluation by a RU between 2002-2018. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Our primary outcome was electing to undergo mTESE.
    Results: 44.4% (75/169) of NOA men underwent mTESE. These patients earned significantly higher median neighborhood income ($133,000
    Conclusions: Higher neighborhood income and marital status were positively associated with patients undergoing mTESE, while couples who attempted to conceive for a longer period of time before seeking infertility care were less likely to undergo mTESE.

    Abstract Objective Varicocele is considered the most common reversible cause of male infertility. However, some men do not clinically improve after surgical repair. We aimed to identify preoperative factors associated with decreased semen parameters and clinical "downgrading" of total motile sperm count (TMSC) following varicocelectomy. Methods We examined men with preoperative laboratory testing and pre- and postoperative semen analyses (SA) who underwent varicocelectomy between 2010 and 2020. Ejaculate volume, sperm motility, sperm concentration, TMSC, and clinical grade of TMSC (in vitro fertilization: <5M sperm, intrauterine insemination: 5-9M sperm, natural pregnancy: >9M sperm) were used to determine postoperative outcomes. Demographic and clinical factors were compared between cohorts. Results Among 101 men who underwent varicocelectomy, 35 (34.7%) had decreased postoperative TMSC with a median follow-up of 6.6 months (interquartile range 3.9-13.6 months). Eleven (10.9%) men experienced TMSC clinical "downgrading" following surgery. Clinical grade III varicocele was significantly associated with decreased sperm motility on postoperative SA (OR 4.1, 95% CI 1.7-10.0, p=0.002), and larger left testicle volume (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.8, p=0.02) was associated with clinical "downgrading" after varicocelectomy. Conclusion A small but significant proportion of men experienced a "downgrading" of semen parameters after varicocelectomy. Larger left testis size was associated with clinical downgrading, whereas clinical grade III varicoceles were associated with lower post-treatment sperm motility. These data are critical for preoperative patient counseling.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the prevalence of abnormal hormone parameters among men with and without oligospermia to determine the value of universal hormonal screening during initial fertility evaluation.
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated men who underwent semen analysis and hormonal evaluation (morning testosterone [T] and follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH]) between January 2002 and May 2021. Sperm concentration was dichotomized at 15 million/mL according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. We compared median and interquartile range (IQR) T and FSH levels according to sperm concentration using Kruskal-Wallis test. Differences in prevalence of low testosterone (<300 ng/dL) and abnormal FSH (>7.6mIU/mL) were determined using chi-square test.
    Results: 1164 men had a morning serum T. There was no difference in median T among men with normal vs abnormal sperm concentration (316 ng/dL, IQR 250-399 vs 316 ng/dL, IQR 253-419; P = .52). FSH was measured in 1261 men. Median FSH was higher among men with sperm concentration <15 million/mL (6.0IU/mL, IQR 3.9-10.7 vs 3.8IU/mL, IQR 2.7-5.7; P < .001). Among men with ≥15 million/mL concentration, 44.1% were found to have low T (P = .874) and 10.8% had an FSH ≥7.6 mIU/mL (P < .001). Among men with ≥15 million/mL sperm concentration who underwent both T and FSH evaluation, 43.6% had at least 1 hormonal abnormality.
    Conclusion: Almost half of men with normal sperm concentration had low T. As low T may have long-term implications for both fertility and overall health, providers should consider universal T screening in men presenting for fertility evaluation.
