Objectives: The purpose of this study was to see the effect of parenteral testosterone injection on penile length, glans diameter, and diameter at the base of the penis in hypospadias patients before surgery. Material and Methods: The study was conducted from September 2019 to March 2021. This study comprised a total of 20 hypospadias patients. At a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight, an injection testosterone propionate was administered deep intramuscularly in three doses with a 3-week gap before reconstructive surgery. Before surgery, the penile length, glans diameter, and penile diameter at the base of the penis were all measured. Results: The mean increase in penile length, glans diameter, and diameter at the base of penis following parenteral testosterone therapy was 1.07 ± 0.23 cm (P < 0.001), 1.01 ± 0.46 cm (P < 0.001), and 0.92 ± 0.12 cm (P < 0.001), respectively. All three measurements were statistically significant. Conclusion: Intramuscular testosterone increased penis size, glans diameter, and penile diameter without causing any notable side effects. Development of fine pubic hair, acne, and aggressiveness is minor adverse effects.

Background:To compare the treatment outcome of Silodosin alone and Silodosin with Tadalafil as a medical expulsive therapy (MET) of lower ureteric stone in western part of Rajasthan. Material And Methods:The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital of Dr. S.N. Medical College, Jodhpur over a period of 12 months (1st January, 2020 to 31st December, 2020). Out of 108 patients, 100 meet the inclusion criteria who were purposively assigned into 2 groups. 48 patients included in Silodosin alone group and 52 in Silodosin with Tadalafil group. Result:There was a significant higher stone expulsionrate in Silodosin with Tadalafil than Silodosin alone which was 88.46% vs75% respectively (P value 0.02). The mean stone expulsion time of Silodosin alone was14.33 (±3.1) days and Silodosin plus Tadalafil was 11.48(±2.3) days (P value 0.001). The episodes of pain in Silodosin alone were 0.7(±0.06) and 0.6(±0.2) in Silodosin with Tadalafil group that was statistically significant. Conclusion:The present study suggested that Silodosin with tadalafil combination therapy significantly increases ureteric stone expulsion rate and decreases the expulsion time and pain episodes than treatment with silodosin alone.
