The sea and your memory

At dusk,

I saw a figure

I’m sure

it was your sign

telling me: “I’m here

just a glance away.”

The sea reminds me of you

The waves crash on the shore.

The smell of salt reminds me of you.

We were happy, here, in this place.

And today, I know you’re waiting for me.

Wherever you are…

With Achievement

Everyone’s eye on the light,

The light is attracted to the brilliant.

Improve life by keeping in the light.

Everyone wants to live with respect and respect,

Many do not know that respect and respect are not cheap.

Gains respect in the work of achievement,

To everyone is valuable in valuable work,

Life is on the way to Tatini.

Achievement in one’s own hands,

If you work hard,

Your own life must improve.

In the hope of the dream of the dream, in the hope

Only if the equation of reality will shine the light of hope.

In the eastern sky, the clouds are frozen, the clouds are erased over time.

Life is shaking the light of hope,

You have to move on with it.

Fresh Character

Fresh mind fresh character,

Fresh water everyone likes.

Fresh thinking, everything achieved.

Rule of life, everything has a margin.

Fresh air good,

Fresh character proves fresh personality,

Create an awesome mentality.

The Wandering Hat 

It was a summer night,

the stars were mirrors of a wandering soul,

my friend, a whisper of wind in the countryside,

decided that life was a vibrant song.

We boarded the train, an iron leviathan,

devouring the tracks with its fiery breath,

but in a twist in the fabric of time,

his hat, a balloon, rose into the present.

The train, a river of steel in its bed,

took its emblem, its shadow on the journey,

and he, like a navigator in search of a lasso,

ran after his star, his light, his passenger.

Laughter and wailing danced in the air,

as the train vanished into the gloom,

my friend, a poet in his own disdain,

promised he would return, and he did so in the mist.

In the end, she understood that the waves of fate

sometimes require us to let go of what overwhelms us,

like a hat that flies along a road,

laughter is a compass, and the journey, a feather.

Father’s Shadow

You’re gone, yet you’re everywhere.

In the scent of morning tea, in the quiet of the house when everything is still.

In a phrase I speak, not knowing I once learned it from you.

You loved cats, dogs, birds — every creature that breathes.

You used to say animals are more honest than people,

and you spoke to them as equals.

They loved you, just as the world did — quietly, but forever.

You would stand in the middle of the room and recite,

with hands that never sought applause,

only to let the feeling pass through you.

In your words lived dignity, warmth,

and that rare closeness that made people fall silent and listen.

You left as gently as you lived.

Without grand words, without noise.

But you didn’t disappear — you became part of everything I love.

Part of me.

Sometimes I feel you near.

In the cat curled in my lap, in the dog’s gaze waiting by the door.

In the voice that guides me when I don’t know where to go.

They say time heals.

Perhaps.

But what you were — it doesn’t fade.

It stayed.

In the way I love, in the way I remain silent, in a gaze that still seeks kindness. Sometimes I write you letters.

No address, no stamp.

Only the heart knows where they go.

And I don’t cry as often now,

but when the wind stirs the curtains —

I know it’s you.

Your gentle spirit, your silence that embraces better.

Poetry from Iskandarova Dilnoza 

Young Central Asian woman with long dark hair, brown eyes, a small necklace, and black and white patterned blouse.

Homeland

In the heart of the land, where the rivers flow,

Lies a country, rich with stories to show.

It’s a tapestry of cultures, woven with pride,

A place where diversity stands side by side.

From the bustling cities to the tranquil plains,

The country’s beauty forever remains.

Mountains reaching high, touching the sky,

And valleys so deep, where rivers run by.

In the north, the snow-capped peaks stand tall,

While in the south, golden beaches enthrall.

The east is adorned with lush greenery,

And in the west, deserts stretch endlessly.

The people here, with their spirit so strong,

Sing songs of freedom, for which they long.

They celebrate traditions, old and new,

And honor the land, in all that they do.

The country’s history, a tale of triumph and sorrow,

A journey of resilience, shaping tomorrow.

From ancient civilizations to modern-day grace,

Each chapter adds color to this vibrant place.

The cities pulse with life, a symphony of sound,

Where dreams are pursued, and opportunities abound.

Yet in the countryside, time moves at its own pace,

With fields of gold and open space.

The food is a fusion of flavors so bold,

Reflecting the heritage, centuries old.

Spices that dance on the tongue with delight,

A feast for the senses, morning to night.

The country’s soul lies in its people’s embrace,

Their warmth and kindness, a comforting grace.

They welcome strangers with open arms,

And share their stories, their joys, and their charms.

As the sun sets on this land so fair,

And stars twinkle in the evening air,

The country whispers tales of old and new,

A testament to its beauty, tried and true.

So here’s to the country, with its boundless allure,

A place of wonder, so bright and pure.

May it thrive and prosper, forevermore,

A timeless treasure to adore.

Poetry from Elbekova Shohsanam

Young Central Asian woman with a white headdress, long dark hair, brown eyes, and a white and black patterned top standing in front of the Uzbek flag.

Oh life, why do you torment my father so?

Day and night he works, without rest at all.

Oh life, why so many trials must he know?

Aren’t his graying hairs proof enough of his toll?

So we lack nothing, he gives all he can,

His hands are worn, scarred, and bruised.

Without pause he runs, a tireless man,

Yet never complains — his pure heart’s not abused.

Oh life, and what about my mother dear,

Why bring sorrow to her gentle soul?

She worked hard, shared her wisdom clear,

Surely joy is her rightful goal?

Oh life, just look at my parents both,

They fulfilled every wish I ever spoke.

If I wanted fancy clothes, they’d say “yes”,

While they themselves wore old, torn cloaks.

So that I wouldn’t lack, when I had asked,

You gave more than enough — my shield, my dad.

“Protect your honor, know your worth,” you’d say,

With teary eyes, my mother would guide my way.

If I were a man, I’d help with the chores,

Even if not much, I’d do something more.

But now — I only ask, this and that,

My troubles I tell you in an endless chat.

In this world, I’m truly in your debt,

May God grant you a long life yet.

Your service to me — I can never repay,

Even if I walked you to Hajj all the way.

My shield, dear father, purest mother mine,

This debt I owe — I know I’ll never unwind.

But if God wills it, in the life to come,

All my blessings I’ll give you — every one!

UROLOGICAL DISEASES AND THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENT: A COMPREHENSIVE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW

Anorov Sirojiddin Nozimjon o’g’li

A student of the Faculty of Medicine, Alfraganus University

Abstract: This comprehensive review explores common urological conditions—urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), kidney stones, neurogenic bladder, and urological fibrosis syndromes—and their evidence-based medical and minimally invasive treatments. We summarize current pharmacological therapies, endo-urologic procedures, and emerging interventions while highlighting prevention strategies and future research directions.

Keywords: Urological diseases; Urinary tract infections; BPH; Urinary incontinence; Kidney stones; Neurogenic bladder; Pharmacotherapy; Endo-urology; Minimally invasive procedures; Urological fibrosis

Introduction: Urological diseases significantly impact global health, affecting over 26 million individuals annually and causing more than \$11 billion in healthcare expenditures.Effective management of these conditions is critical to improving patient quality of life and reducing the burden on health systems.

COMMON UROLOGICAL DISEASES & THEIR MEDICAL MANAGEMENT

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

UTIs remain one of the most common infections in primary and hospital care, especially in women

Antibiotic therapy: remains first-line but contributes to increasing antimicrobial resistance

Non-antibiotic adjuncts(cranberry products, D-mannose, probiotics, NSAIDs, estrogens, immunotherapy) show promise but evidence lacks to fully replace antibiotics

Probiotics: with anti-inflammatory and microbiome-modulating effects, are gaining attention for UTI prevention and recurrence reduction .

Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence (UI) encompasses stress, urge, overflow, and functional types and significantly impairs quality of life.

Conservative method: pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle adjustments, absorbent aids.

Pharmacotherapy: anticholinergics and β3-agonists for urge UI.

Surgery/devices: slings, tension-free tape, artificial sphincters, particularly when conservative methods fail.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): BPH affects >60% of men over 50 and causes lower urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, weak flow, and nocturia.

α1-blockers (tamsulosin, alfuzosin) and 5α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) are first-line therapies.

Minimally invasive procedures: Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) offers symptomatic relief with fewer complications, though with higher retreatment rates than TURP.

Surgical gold standard: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is highly effective, albeit with risks.

Kidney stones are commonly managed with non-invasive or minimally invasive approaches:

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the standard therapy for stones <20 mm, achieving 80–85% success, with risks of renal hematoma and trauma.

Adjunct α-blockers post-ESWL enhance stone passage.

Endoscopic and percutaneous options** include ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy .

Neurogenic Bladder

Neurogenic bladder arises from neurological disorders (spinal injury, MS, Parkinson’s) and causes retention, incontinence, recurrent UTIs, stones, and renal damag .

Management involves clean intermittent catheterization, behavioral interventions, botulinum toxin injections, antimuscarinics, and surgical reconstruction for refractory cases .

Urological Fibrosis Disorders: Conditions such as Peyronie’s disease and urethral strictures involve fibrotic scarring.

Antifibrotic agents (collagenase injections, mitomycin C, verapamil, interferon) reduce fibrosis and recurrence, with collagenase (CCH) approved for Peyronie’s disease.

CONCLUSION: Urological disorders span infections, functional dysfunction, obstructive, calculi, neurogenic, and fibrotic etiologies. Treatment strategies range from lifestyle modification and antibiotics to pharmacotherapy, minimally invasive procedures, advanced surgeries, and emerging therapies like robotics and tissue engineering. A multidisciplinary, evidence-based, patient‑centered approach is essential to optimize outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce health-care costs.
