Although vasectomy is regularly used as a form of contraception and is generally considered to be safe, the frequency of use within the United Kingdom has fallen very significantly over the past few decades. The greatest risk of the surgery is arguably post-vasectomy pain syndrome, and it is debated how frequent this outcome is, how men emotionally react to such pain—or anticipated pain related to vasectomy. This has implications for counselling men prior to surgery and management. We use public data from Reddit to analyse the perceptions of pain, the frequency of post-vasectomy pain syndrome, and how such pain is resolved. We perform a systematic natural language processing assessment of the largest Reddit communities discussing vasectomy for the first time. We show that the dominant emotional reaction to vasectomy is that of fear—especially in relation to perceived or anticipated pain. Despite this, most men ultimately hold a positive sentiment about vasectomy, albeit at various levels of subjectivity. There are, however, a significant percentage of men who experience strong and negative emotions and experiences of vasectomy—including both the procedure and post-vasectomy pain syndrome. We place a new upper limit on post-vasectomy pain syndrome of 8% using 11 244 posts and estimate life-affecting pain has an upper limit of 2%, with a similar rate of surgery regret. We show that reversal is the most frequently discussed solution to this pain by a factor of approximately 4 compared to other invasive methods. We suggest that any information and consent forms issued to prospective men no longer ethically describe vasectomy complications as “rare” or “very rare”. New onset pain is common for vasectomy. With such public discussion now firmly in place, we hypothesise that vasectomy will see further decreased use in the short term.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50281,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urological Nursing","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914075","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}

A quantitative design has been used for data collection, complemented by some qualitative questions. An evaluation questionnaire was designed and distributed to 56 participants to investigate the views of service users. Using Likert scaling statements, with the option to expand the comment text box, the strengths of patients' feelings and satisfactions towards the Trial Without a Catheter service were assessed. The mean age of the participants was 65–84 (range, 25 to 85+) years. There were 24 male and 7 female patients, with urinary retention being the most frequently stated reason for catheterisation. In relation to the experience, in total, 90% of participants who responded either agreed or strongly agreed that the preferred location to have the procedure carried out was at home. Themes raised in relation to the experience were communication, patient's level of stress and anxiety and the impact of Trial Without a Catheter procedure on patients' quality of life. In relation to satisfaction, 100% of the participants stated that they strongly agreed or agreed to being satisfied with the overall care they received from the Trial Without a Catheter service. This Service Evaluation has revealed a high level of patient satisfaction with the Trial Without a Catheter service being performed at home; however, the findings indicate areas of potential improvement regarding communication prior to the procedure.

Post-RP urinary incontinence (UI) affects up to 69% of patients, significantly impacting their quality of life. PFME is recommended to manage UI, but many patients fail to achieve the required frequency and intensity, leading to suboptimal outcomes. This study seeks to identify factors influencing PFME intention and engagement, using the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA), to fill the gaps in PFME research and practice. The literature highlights that experiential attitude, instrumental attitude, injunctive norm, autonomy, capacity and perceived UI influence PFME engagement. Previous studies have not fully explored the role of these determinants specifically among men post-RP. Additionally, the moderating effects of demographic and medical factors, such as education level and time since surgery, on these relationships remain underexamined. This gap underscores the need for targeted, evidence-based interventions to optimise UI management post-RP. This study utilised a correlational design with data collected at two points: baseline and a four-week follow-up. A total of 108 men with prostate cancer (PC) post-RP from two large hospitals in Amman, Jordan, participated. After obtaining IRB approval, we recruited patients during their follow-up visits, achieving a recruitment rate of 93.1%. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Data were collected through anonymous, printed questionnaires administered in private rooms at the hospitals. PFME engagement, RAA determinants and demographics were measured. A follow-up survey was completed by 107 participants, yielding a retention rate of 99.1%. Statistical analysis included hierarchical regression and moderation analyses. In the final model, PFME intention (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = 0.33, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001) and perceived UI (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = −0.08, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001) were significant predictors of PFME engagement. Follow-up regression showed that PFME intention predicted engagement less effectively (&lt;i&gt;B&lt;/i&gt; = 0.51, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001), and perceived UI predicted engagement more strongly (&lt;i&gt;B&lt;/i&gt; = −0.22, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001) when participants were 6 months or longer post-RP. Interactions between months since RP and intention (&lt;i&gt;B&lt;/i&gt; = −0.60, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001) and perceived UI (&lt;i&gt;B&lt;/i&gt; = −0.11, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.017) significantly impacted PFME engagement. The study suggests that the RAA framework can effectively predict PFME engagement in men post-RP, guiding the development of tailored interventions to enhance PFME engagement, ultimately improving urinary incontinence outcomes.

Although RP offers the greatest potential for a definitive cure in localised prostate cancer and improves overall survival, it is associated with various psychosocial and psychological challenges after the discharge period. These issues can lead to decreased patients' quality of life. Surgical treatment-specific side effects can lead to some problems. So, patients are often unprepared for posttreatment self-management at home. A structured follow-up programme following surgery is necessary to increase quality of life and decrease some undesirable complications. Discharge training via SMS messages sent by clinical nurses may increase quality of life in patients after RP. This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effect of SMS messages containing discharge information sent by nurses on the quality of life of patients who underwent RP. This quasi-experimental study was conducted from May to December 2022, with 57 patients (29 in the intervention and 28 in the control group) who underwent RP in Istanbul, Turkiye. The intervention group received routine follow-up and discharge information via SMS message twice a week between 09:00 and 17:00 on Mondays and Thursdays for four weeks.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of LUTS on disease-specific quality of life, functional status, anxiety and depression in individuals with chronic stroke. The secondary aim was to evaluate the coherence between Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-V8 (OAB-V8) and Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS) scores. This study was a planned single-centre prospective cohort study conducted on patients with chronic stroke undergoing inpatient treatment at a rehabilitation centre. Eighty people with chronic stroke were included. LUTS were evaluated with the CLSS and OAB-V8; functional status was evaluated with the functional independence measure (FIM); anxiety and depression levels were evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and quality of life was evaluated with the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QoL).
