Q

What is the clinical presentation of Type 1 prostatitis?

A 
local suprapubic or rectal pain 
systemic sxs: 
-fever
-chills
-malaise
-N/V
Lower urinary tract sxs: 
-dysuria 
-frequency
-urgency

more than 75% have fever and dysuria

about 50% have pelvic pain and chills

if ever there is hematuria, you have to bring the pt back once they are sxs free to assess them for bladder cancer

Q

How do you dx type 2 prostatitis?

A

urine microscopy and culture often normal

Q

How do you treat type 2 prostatitis?

A

start with NIH chronic prostatitis sxs index

ABX:
-ciprofloxacin 500mg PO BID x 6 weeks
OR
-Bactrim 80/400 PO BID x 4-6 weeks

recurrence is COMMON
-may require low dose suppressive therapy

may require alpha blocker therapy if retention occurs

Q

Type 3 prostatitis

Study These Flashcards
A

chronic abacterial prostatits/chronic pelvic pain syndrome

no demonstrable infection
local sxs - pelvic pain, urinary sxs, ejaculatory dysfunction
Use NIH CPSI to quantify/monitor severity

2 types:

  • inflammatory - WBC in semen, prostatic secretions, or urine post-massage
  • non-inflammatory - no WBCs

tx; refer to urology

20
Q

What is the treatment for type 3 prostatitis?

Study These Flashcards
A

refer to urology

21
Q

What are the 2 types of type 3 prostatitis?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • inflammatory - WBC in semen, prostatic secretions, or urine post-massage
  • non-inflammatory - no WBCs
22
Q

Type 4 prostatitis?

Study These Flashcards
A

asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis

no sxs

WBCs in prostatic secretions or in prostate tissues found incidentally during prostate evaluation for other reasons

no tx warranted

questions of increased association with BPH and/or prostate cancer

23
Q

Two glass test

Study These Flashcards
A

pre and post prostate massage sampling for urine culture to help dx type 1 prostatitis

24
Q

BPH

Study These Flashcards
A

benign prostatic hypertrophy

not really a disease, just a product of aging

25
Prevalence of BPH
increases with age 40y/o - 20% 90y/o - 90%
26
What is the path behind BPH?
testosterone is converted to dihyrdotestosterone (DHT) by enzyme 5AR high levels of DHT are found in the prostate When DHT is absent (castrated males) BPH never develops Nodule formation in the periurethral zone of the prostate results in extrinsic compression of the prostatic urethra --> impaired voiding
27
What is the clinical presentation of BPH?
LUTS - hesitancy - weak stream - interrupted stream - incomplete voiding - straining to void - dribbling - nocturia - incontinence Recurrent UTIs PE: -enlarged prostate on DRE -should be 2 fingerbreadths or less
28
How do you dx BPH?
lab work: - urinalysis - look for evidence of UTI - urine culture - only done if UA abnormal of hx suggestive of UTI - PSA -should be measured in any man who has at least 10 year life expectancy - -PSA level correlated with size of prostate imaging -US, only if significant abnormality on DRE or elevated PSA
29
American Urological association symptom index
used for BPH dx Score 0-7 = mild 8-19 = moderate 20-35 = severe
30
What is the drug therapy for BPH?
alpha blockers - selective short term: prazosin, alfuzosin, indoramin - selective long term: terazosin, doxazosin, slow-release (SR) alfuzosin - partially subtype: tamsulosin, silodosin ``` PDE5 inhibitors (phosphdiaesterase inhibitor) -Tadalafil - used when pt also has h/o of ED ``` 5 alpha reductase inhibitors - finesteride - ductasteride Anticholinergics - must have low/normal post-void residual volume (PVR)
31
What is the follow up for Type 1 prostatitis?
we must check that they have fully irradiated the infection or else it might be chronic so have them come back once they are done with their abx treatment --roughly 4 weeks --then do prostatic massage and urine culture
32
What is the most commonly dx non-skin cancer in men?
prostate cancer second most common cause of cancer DEATH in men
33
What are the risk factors of prostate cancer?
age: rarely seen in men <40 (uncommon in men <50) family hx: several potential genetic links, but not causative gene Race: White 1 in 6, AA 1 in 5 lifestyle factors do NOT seem to play a role prostatitis and BPH do not predict cancer occurence
34
What is the path of prostate cancer?
exact cause for malignant transformation unknown/varies by type most form adenocarcinoma; few for SCC location: - peripheral zone - 70% - central zone - 15-20% metastasis -- occurs late in disease --most common location --> bone
35
What is the clinical presentation of prostate cancer?
most cases detected through SCREENING (PSA or DRE) of ASYMPTOMATIC pts sxs that may be present early in disease process: - bladder obstruction (LUTS) - back pain - hematuria sxs of metastatic or advanced disease: - weight loss - anemia - bone pain - leg weakness and sensorineural deficits (spinal cord compression)
36
What is the PE of prostate CA?
GEN - evidence of cachexia? ABD - lower abdominal pain/swelling indicating bladder distention DRE - examiner dependent; precision vs accuracy favors on provider over multiple providers MSK - bony tenderness NEURO - look for evidence of compression of spinal cord or spinal nerves
37
Hyperplasia vs hypertrophy?
hyperplasia --new cell growth hypertrophy -- the preexisting cells are getting bigger
38
Nodules + LUTS =
50% chance prostate cancer
39
Elevated PSA
not specific for prostate cancer
40
PSA can be elevated in which conditions?
``` prostate cancer advanced age BPH prostatitis prostate massage cystoscopy biopsy ```
41
What are the screening guidelines for prostate cancer?
LOOK UP
42
How do you dx prostate cancer?
elevated PSA and/or suspicious DRE finding transrectal US (high false negative rates) MRI or CT - visualization of regional lymph node involvement Bone scan - helpful for staging
43
Gleason Score
prostate cancer staging histologic scoring of biopsy based on cellular architecture high gleason = poor prognosis may affect decision on how to manage
44
TMN
tumor staging tumor size node involvement metastasis used to gauge prognosis will help direct therapeutic approach
45
What is the treatment for local prostate cancer?
low risk, low grade, low gleason score - active surveillance - -DRE, PSA testing, repeat bx to monitor progression intermediate risk, high-grade, high gleason score - radical prostatectomy - not necessarily curative, dramatic impact on QOL - radiation therapy - only used post-radical prostatectomy for positive surgical margins - cryosurgery - less commonly used (provider dependent); minimally invasive, fewer adverse events compared to radical prostatectomy
46
Treatment of metastatic prostate cancer?
Androgen deprivation therapy - primary prostate cancer is hormone dependent - orchietomy and/or luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogs are first line bone targeting agents - bisphosphonates and RANK-L chemotherapy - docetaxel - reversed for those who fail ADT
