The research is a kind of observational analytic research to find out the correlation of testicular volume to semen analysis on male patients in Andrology clinic RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya by using secondary data. Based on the results of statistical tests of 64 samples by using chi square test can be seen that the value of significance or p-value 0.005 <0.05.

Impaired sexual function due to loss of libido and erectile dysfunction can interfere with quality of life and relationships with partners. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by vasculogenic, endocrinopathy, hormonal imbalance, neurogenic, trauma, iatrogenic and also due to psychological causes. This research to understand and overcome the problems related to sexual function in man with genetic abnormality. \u0000Case: A 32-year-old patient came for a sperm analysis examination because he was planning to get married soon. At first, there were no sexual problems complained of but the patient admitted that he was not too much interested in sexual matters since he was young. Nocturnal and morning erection happened rarely. Puberty at 15 years old and currently in a relationship with a woman and planning to get married. At this time libido was good. There was no history of mumps and orchitis. From the physical examination, it was found that the height was 180 cm, weight was 100 kg, and the arm span was 186 cm. waist circumference 104 cm.

There are two types of azoospermia, which are obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. Non-obstructive azoospermia's main mechanism is because the testes fail to produce the sex hormone and induce spermatogenesis (primary testicular failure). \u0000Case: A patient is 28 years old and has a job as a car paint worker. He came with the chief complaint of infertility since two and a half years ago. He and his wife were having intercourse 3-4 times a week. Past medical history is unremarkable. His wife’s medical history is also unremarkable. Physical examination and ultrasound of the testes are normal. The semen analysis in this patient was azoospermia for 2 different times in the span of 2 weeks with no abnormalities in the accessory gland. Hormonal profiles results are testosterone level 2,32 ng/mL and FSH 15,03 mIU/mL, which indicatehypergonadotropic hypogonadism. The patient was suggested to evaluate further (complete hormonal profile, karyotyping analysis, and Y-Chromosome microdeletion) and educate about the possibility to conceive with assisted reproductive technology (ART). \u0000Discussion: Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism is a challenging case that needs a complete assessment such as complete hormonal profile, karyotyping analysis, Y-chromosome microdeletion analysis, and also, in this case, the paint thinner exposure in the workplace is needed to be considered. The chance of normal conception is very small, and the assisted reproductive procedure is necessary. \u0000Conclusion: Some abnormalities are usually present in the physical examination of azoospermia patients. This case convinces us of the importance of thorough history taking and other investigations. Managing this patient will be challenging, with the goal of the therapy is to achieve spermatogenesis to be able to use the spermatozoa available for ICSI.","PeriodicalId":385352,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Andrology and Biomedical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122677700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research was located at the Kasih Ibu General Hospital Denpasar. Purposive sampling was chosen as the sampling technique. The samples were 50 male patients aged 25-45 years who checked themselves at the Kasih Ibu General Hospital Denpasar between January and December 2020.

One of the causes of secondary osteoporosis is diabetes mellitus (DM). The prevalence of both disorders keeps increasing with time. Therefore, this review is conducted to find a possible solution to prevent DM-induced osteoporosis. Diabetes mellitus mainly affects the bone through glucose uptake during the bone remodeling process. Glucose uptake through GLUT 1 is regulated by MST 1, which is an upstream kinase of the Hippo signaling pathway. MST 1 is responsible for regulating cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. In the bone remodeling process, MST 1 plays a role by regulating actin ring structures and the integrin signaling pathway. Moreover, DM is also associated with increased oxidative stress. Increased oxidative stress will activate Hippo signaling pathway. This will trigger cellular apoptosis as the Hippo signaling pathway plays a role mainly as a tumor suppressor. Increased cellular apoptosis will cause an imbalance in the bone remodeling process, disrupting bone quality. Inhibition of MST 1 through the Hippo signaling pathway will increase cell growth and reduce cellular apoptosis. Increased cell growth might increase osteogenesis during the bone remodeling process, thus resulting in better bone quality in DM-induced osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":385352,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Andrology and Biomedical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116591439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concerns can be focused on the penile length or width or even both, whether erect or flaccid. Men who are worried about the penile size also want to increase the size of the penis. Concerns about men’s penile size are also increasing because they think normal penile size is what is shown in pornography. These worries can affect self-esteem, sexual function, and satisfaction, to physical and mental health. Small penis anxiety is an anxiety that arises when a man observes his flaccid penile size and feels concerned that his penile size is less than the normal size. In addition, this concern persists even though it has been refuted by clinical examination. Penile dysmorphic disorder is excessive self-concern, distress, and a preoccupation with trivial or even non-existent deficiencies in penile size and shape that can lead to impaired function. Until now, there have not been effective guidelines for managing patients with complaints of penile size. Some of the treatments that can be conducted are psychosexual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, penile traction devices, and invasive procedures. Various modalities of therapy have been tried to overcome excessive concern about penile size. Yet, so far, no good results have been obtained.

The high MMR is caused by the large number of pregnancies and deliveries in Indonesia. One of the ways to prevent it, is by reducing the number of pregnancies and one of the most effective way is through the Family Planning (FP) program.
