Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: Condyloma acuminatum is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus and with a high recurrence rate in the urethra. We report the intraurethral instillation of 5-fluorouracil cream for intraurethral condyloma acuminatum with suprapubic cystostomy after transurethral surgery. A 64-year-old man had gross hematuria for several days. At cystourethroscopy, multiple papillary mass lesions were identified on the entire urethra. Transurethral resection of the urethral masses confirmed the diagnosis of condyloma acuminatum. However, recurrent multiple warts were identified on the whole urethra. After re-surgery, intraurethral instillation of 5-fluorouracil cream with suprapubic cystostomy was achieved to prevent a recurrence. After one year of 5-fluorouracil instillation, there was no recurrence of intraurethral condyloma acuminatum.

Importance to Promote Awareness in Patients with Recurrent Cystitis: Sun-tae Ahn, Mi-mi Oh; Urogenit Tract Infect 2022;17(3):71-75. Published online December 31, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.14777/uti.2022.17.3.71

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: In spite of a high cure rate, cystitis is a common disease in women that often recurs within a year. The uncomfortable symptoms associated with recurrent cystitis affect the quality of life and overall daily life. However, the awareness pertaining to the treatment or prevention of recurrent cystitis has remained the same. Physicians and patients are unaware that recurrent cystitis can lead to several problems, such as socioeconomic burden and antibiotic abuse. Therefore, there is a requirement to enhance awareness of the socio-economic burden of recurrent cystitis, the effects on the quality of life of patients, and the importance of prevention and management after treatment.
