Gender-affirming hormonal treatment leads in persons assigned male at birth to a reduction of LH, FSH, and testosterone, which is associated with a regression of spermatogenesis (up to complete loss) and subsequent testicular atrophy. Individuals starting gender-affirming hormonal treatment after having experienced male puberty may provide an ejaculate sample for sperm cryopreservation. In cases where no sperm is detected in the ejaculate due to gender-affirming hormonal treatment, or if the sampling of ejaculate is no longer possible or causes excessive psychological distress, (microsurgical) testicular sperm extraction [(m)TESE] should be offered. Electroejaculation under anaesthesia is rarely effective, as hormonal treatment impairs spermatogenesis. Similarly, microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA) is not typically effective for the same reason. If adolescents with gender incongruence undergo puberty blockade and/or gender-affirming hormonal treatment at an early stage of puberty (possible from Tanner stage 2), this prevents the maturation of spermatogonial stem cells into mature sperm. Puberty blockade with GnRH reduces the secretion of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland, which, in turn, suppresses the production of testosterone in the Leydig cells and the stimulation of spermatogenesis in the testicles. In such cases, the cryopreservation of spermatogonial stem cells is possible, similar to how it is offered in some countries for peri-pubertal patients prior to necessary germ cell-toxic treatments. In Germany, there is a relevant network (Androprotect), which was founded in Münster in 2012. Via Androprotect, this procedure is also offered for adolescent individuals with gender incongruence. This approach is considered experimental as no established treatment exists for the refertilisation of affected adults at a later stage, although several procedures for in-vitro sperm maturation and tissue transplantation are under development. The care of patients with gender incongruence should include individual counselling provided by experienced professionals in an interdisciplinary treatment team. Individual treatment approaches should be offered to facilitate shared decision-making (based on informed consent) to ensure that each individual can make an informed and appropriate decision regarding fertility preservation.</p>","PeriodicalId":7513,"journal":{"name":"Aktuelle Urologie","volume":" ","pages":"150-157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143254175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, an increase has been observed among young adults and women. The gender gap is closing, and gender equality (1:1) with regard to urolithiasis has already been documented for the USA. Studies have demonstrated that women have higher urine pH values than men, which promotes calcium phosphate crystallization. The tendency for men to develop calcium oxalate and uric acid stones is caused by the comparatively lower urine pH values. Malnutrition combined with a lack of exercise and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome with its underlying diseases (insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidaemia) are discussed as the causes of the increase in upper tract stone disease in industrialized countries. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as the most common liver disease, is considered one of the complications of metabolic syndrome, with a prevalence of approximately 23% in Germany. Animal experiments and clinical studies have demonstrated a connection between NAFLD and increased oxalate excretion in urine. Based on the literature, NAFLD represents a possible cross-gender risk factor for kidney stone formation and is therefore considered to be a generally modifiable risk factor for recurrent urolithiasis. Simple recommendations concerning NAFLD should complement the general and metabolic workup in everyday clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":7513,"journal":{"name":"Aktuelle Urologie","volume":" ","pages":"145-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143612771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
