A

getting up to urinate more than 2x a night

2

A

inability to control the urine flow

3

5
Q

What are internal and external dysuria?

A

internal: localized to the internal genital structures (urethra, bladder, suprapubic area)

external: localized to external genital structures (labia minora and majora) and occurs as urine exits the body

6
Q

What is a complicated UTI?

A

UTI in individuals w/ functional or structural abnormalities of the urinary tract

at higher risk of tx failure

7
Q

What is stress incontinence?

A

leakage of urine upon coughing, sneezing, or standing

due to urethral incompetence

common in older men - can be due to prostatic enlargement, urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or prostate cancer

in women - cystoceles or other anatomic problems

8
Q

What is urge incontinence?

A

urgency and inability to delay urination

due to detrusor overactivity

most common cause of geriatric incontinence, usually idiopathic

9
Q

What is overflow incontinence?

A

variable presentation

involuntary loss of urine caused by detrusor underactivity

idiopathic or due to sacral lower motor nerve dysfunction

10

A

DIAPPERS

Delirium

Infection

Atrophic urethritis and vaginitis

Pharmaceuticals

Psychological factors

Excess urinary output caused by diuretics, excess fluid intake, metabolic abnormalities, peripheral edema

11
Q

What is DHIC?

A

detrusor hyperactivity with incomplete contractions

subtype of urge incontinence that can present with urgency w/ incomplete bladder emptying

12
Q

Who gets stress incontinence most often?

A

women

(can be seen in men following prostatectomy)

13
Q

What are sx of urethral obstruction?

A

dribbling, urge incontinence, and overflow incontinence

detrusor overactivity (coexists in 2/3 of cases) may cause sx of urgency

14
Q

petechiae

erythema

16
Q

what lab tests should you run to evaluate incontinence?

A

review medications

check urinalysis and urine culture

consider tests for hyperglycemia, hypercalcemia, diabetes insipidus

17
Q

What diagnostic test do you do for stress incontinence?

A

have pt relax her perineum and cough once while standing w/ full bladder

instant leakage –> stress incontinence if urinary retention has been excluded by postvoid residual determination using ultrasound

delay of several seconds or persistent leakage –> problem is caused by an uninhibited bladder contraction induced by coughing

18
Q

What diagnostic procedures should you do for detrusor overactivity/urge incontinence and why?

A

detrusor overactivity may be due to bladder stones or tumor

if abrupt onset, esp if accompanied by perineal or suprapubic discomfort or sterile hematuria –> do cystoscopy and cytologic exam of the urine

19
Q

What is the difference btw prostate hypertrophy and hyperplasia and its clinical management?

A

hypertrophy tends to have more malignant potential

hyperplasia tends to be more benign

ensure no cancer –> Sx management

20
Q

What is the significance in tx choice of prostate cancer?

A

prostate cancer is super common in old men

always do risk benefit - are they going to die of this cancer or are there other co-morbidities that make the cancer less significant?

21
Q

What are the two things that contribute to LUTS sx in BPH?

A

both size of prostate and also age-related detrusor dysfunction

“I like to think of the size of the bagel up someon’s butt vs the ability for them to adequately squeeze out pee” - Dr. Tyler

22
Q

What are urine flow studies, bladder US, and Pressure-flow studies used for in BPH management?

A

urine flow studies: can ID those with normal flow rates who are unlikely to benefit from tx

bladder U/S: can id those w/ high postvoid residuals who may need intervention

pressure-flow (urodynamic) studies: detect primary bladder dysfunction

23
Q

when would you do a cystoscopy in BPH/ LUTS sx?

A

if ther is hematuria

to assess urinary outflow tract before surgery

24
Q

urinary frequency, urgency, retention, and incontinence

trouble starting urine stream

weak or interrupted stream

dribbling at end of urination

nocturia

pain after ejaculation or during urination

urine w/ unusual color or smell

26
Q

What are the respective effects of alpha Receptor inhibitors and 5 ARIs in tx of BPH?

A

Alpha blockers: tx dynamic aspect of BPH by reducing sympathetic tone of bladder outlet

5 ARIs: treat static aspect by reducing prostate volume; delayed effect

(often used in combo to tx sx and delay progression)

27
Q

A

second line therapy done after a trial of medical therapy that has failed

29
Q

why should you take a genitourinary family hx?

risk of being dx w/ prostate cancer increases 2.5-fold if one 1st degree relative is affected

fivefold if two or more are affected

(estimated 40% of early onset and 5-10% of all prostate cancers are hereditary)

30
Q

How effective are DRE and PSA at detecting prostate cancer?

A

DRE = 3.2% detection

PSA = 4.6%

combined = 5.8%

31
Q

How should you use DRE and PSA?

A

do not measure PSA in asymptomatic men with a short life expectancy

DRE and PSA not recommended in routine screening

determine risk for BPH and prostate cancer before getting PSA

for men w/ PSA of 4-7, refer to urology if sx score is moderate to severe

32
Q

What is the difference btw UTI and ASB?

A

ASB = asymptomatic bacteruria

dont have to tx this w/ antibiotics

tx UTI bc this implies it is symptomatic
