Q

5 alpha reductase inhibitor

A

ex: finasteride and dutasteride
decreases dihydrotestoerone which reduces size of the prostate
may need to take for as long as 6 months before improvement noticed
AE: erectile disfunction, decreased libido, dizziness due to orthostatic hypotension

Q

Alpha 1 selective blocking agens

A

tamsulosin
relaxes smooth muscles in the prostate gland, creating less urinary resistance and improved urine flow
also cause vasodilation and reduce peripheral vascular resistance
side effects: assess for orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, syncope
most effective drug therpay approach is a combination of the two.

Q

Post TURP care

A

continuous bladder irrigation in place after surgery, assess color, consistency and amount of urine output, check the drainage tube frequently, after catheter is removed, may experience burning on urination, urinary frequency, dribbling and leakage, increase fluid, monitor for infection, prevent complications of immobility, assess pain and VS q 2-4 hours

24
Q

prostate cancer risk factors

A

over the age of 65, race (African American males are more often affected) family history of prostate cancer

25
Q

prostate cancer health promotion and maintenance

A

screening (consider screening at age 50)
healthy balanced diet (decrease animal fats in diet especially, red meats. increased fruits, vegetables, and high fiber foods)

26
Q

prostate cancer assessment

A

history, clinical manifestations, labs, other diagnostic assessments

27
Q

early clinical manifestations of prostate cancer

A

urinary rentention, frequent bladder infections, difficulty starting urination

28
Q

advanced disease symptoms of prostate cancer

A

hematuria, swollen lymph nodes (especially in groin), pain, unexpected weight loss

29
Q

labs for prostate cancer

A

prostate specific antigen, early prostate cancer antigen, elevated serum acid phosphatase

30
Q

Prostate specific antigen (PSA)

A

normal is less than 2.5 ng/mL for age less than 50 and increases with age (possibly up to 6.5 ng/mL). used as a screening lab because other prostate problems can increase the level

31
Q

Early prostate cancer antigen (EPCA-2)

A

can detect changes in the prostate gland early and is very sensitive

32
Q

elevated serum acid phosphatase

A

with advanced disease

33
Q

Other diagnostics for prostate cancer

A

transrectal ultrasound
biopsy

34
Q

prostate cancer interventions

A

active surveillance, surgery, nonsurgical management

35
Q

active surveillance for prostate cancer

A

after initial diagnosis will monitor and only purse active treatment if the symptoms become bothersome
usually done if cancer is in the early state because it is very slow growing cancer

36
Q

surgeries for prostatic cancer

A

laparoscopic radial prostatectomy- removal of entire prostate
open radial prostatectomy- removal of entire prostate
bilateral orchiectomy- removal of both testicles

37
Q

nonsurgical interventions for prostate cancer

A

can be used as an adjunct to surgery or alternate intervention- used if the cancer is widespread or the patient’s condition or age prevents surgery, radiation, drug therapy (hormone or chemo)

38
Q

prostatitis

A

inflammation of the prostate gland

39
Q

acute bacterial prostatitis

A

occurs with urethritis or an infection of the lower urinary tract. organisms may reach the prostate via bloodstream or urethrea

40
Q

symptoms of acute bacterial prostatits

A

fever, chills, dysuria, urethral discharge, boggy and tender prostate

41
Q

chronic bacterial prostatitis

A

occurs in older men, symptoms less dramatic

42
Q

chronic bacterial prostatitis symptoms

A

hesitancy, urgency, dysuria, difficulty initiating and terminating the flow of urine and decrease strength and volume of urine/ discomfort in the perineum, scrotum and penis

43
Q

prostatitis treatments

A

antibiotics, acute bacterial prostatitis may require hospitalization with aggressive IV antibiotics.

44
Q

prostatitis complications

A

epididymitis- inflammation of the epididymis
cystitis- inflammation of the bladder

45
Q

testicular cancer

A

rare cancer, most often affecting men between 20 and 35 years of age

46
Q

common manifestations of testicular cancer

A

painless, hard swelling or enlargement of the testicle

47
Q

lab assessment for testicular cancer

A

Alpha- fetoprotein (AFP)
beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)

48
Q

other diagnostics assessments for testicular cancer

A

ultrasonography- identify fluid or solid mass and benign versus malignant
CT and MRI- check for metastasis

49
Q

surgical management for testicular cancer

A

radical unilateral orchiectomy
radical retroperitoneal lymph node dissection may also be done

50
Q

non surgical management of testicular cancer

A

chemotherapy- may be used as adjuvant therapy or as primary treatment
external beam radiation therapy (EBRT)- may be used after orchiectomy for localized disease
