VOIDING CYCLE: storage and voiding phase
storage phase when urine is stored = around 300-400mls and 0 pressure without sensation of distension (3-4 hours) until contractile capacity is rached and pressure inc and associated with sesnation of distension voiding phase: relaxation of external sphincter which relaxes, bladder contracts and empties under voluntary control
26
4 catergoris of incontinence
4 catergories include: 1. stress 2. urge 3. mixed 4. other - if no features of stress or urge consider uncommon such as fistula or overflow incontience
27
stress incontinence + pathogenesis
urine flow increased due to activity e.g. laughing/coughing resitance in outlet reduced and overcome with inc intrabdominal pressure
28
urge incontinence
loss of urine due overwhelming urge to void during storage phase
29
etiology of stress incontience
middle aged women: pelvic floor age related atrophy due to childbirth, chronic cough, chronic constipation, smoking OTHERS: injury during surgery males (iatrogenic during prostate surgery) Neurological: spina bifida /spinal injury - due to paralysis of sphincter and bladder neck
30
investgations stress incotinence
urodynamic studies (only if surgery contemplated
31
Treatment stress inctontinece
pelvic floor exercises pubovaginal sling surgery artifical urinary sphincter
32
Grading on stress incontinence
graded on acitivty: on trampoline: mild coughing or laughing: mild rolling in bed/walking downhill:severe
33
Fistula: is this rare or common cause of incontinence
rare
34
most common fistula presenting as incotinince?
vestigovaginal fistula
35
vestigovaginal fistula presentation
dribbling incontinence
36
urge incontinence pathogenesis
increases in bladder pressure during storage phase, which causes unstable contractions of bladder and loss of compliance (inapporpriate level of pressure for amount of urine)
37
What is the etiology in neurologically normal patients for urge incontinence
Idiopathic bladder instability (common) interstitial cystitis radiation injury carcinoma in situ (TCC)
38
What is the etiology in neurologically abnormal patients for urge incontinence
poor compliance of bladder and instability due to: UMN spinal cord injury Parkinsons Multiple Sclerosis Stroke (CVA)
39
Investigations for urge incontinence
1. MSU to exclude infection 2. Post void residual to exclude retention 3. cytology if patient over 60 + haematuria 4. renal US if upper tract reflux 5. urodynmaics if resistance to anticholinergis or in context of nueorlogical disease.
40
Treatment for urge incontinence
Fluid management (over hydration and iduretics avoid) Anticholinergics sucha s oxybutin Botox Bladder augmentation
41
If men have urge incontince day and night what needs to be done and why?
Vesicouteric junction - if pressures are high enough to overcome a high resistance male outlet, they may be high enough to overcome vesicoreteric junction)
42
Mixed incontience what is this ? who is this more common in
mixed features of urge and stress incontinence: more common in women
43
Other incontinence
If patients do not describe either stress or urge incontinence, they usually describe constant dribbling, or incontinence without sensation ( just find myself wet.) This may be a reflection of severe stress incontinence when any slight movement results in leakage. Urodynamics is required to sort this out. Alternative diagnoses to be considered are: overflow incontinence or fistula
44
What is overflow incontinence ?
overflow of urine with patients with chronic retention
45
how does overflow inctonence present?
Involuntary leakage of urine that results as a complication of urinary retention NEW noctural urinating in elderly w symptoms of chronic retention
46
risk factors for fistula
``` complicated pelvic surgery chronic inflammation (Diverticular inflammatory mass or radiation) pelvic cancer (squamous cell) ```
47
Investigations for fistual
Cytoscopy MRI
48
treatment for fistula
catheter + surgery
49
chronic retention risk factors
eldelry male LMN diabetic
50
investigations overflow incontence
post void residuals upper tract US serum creatinine level, which may be elevated if there is urinary retention (overflow bladder
51
Overflow inctonience is complicaiton of chornic retnetion: What are other complications ?
``` Bilateral hydropnephorisis (kidney swelling) and hydroureter (ureter swelling) indicating g obstructive uropathy and renal failure ( urine is unable to drain into the blader because the bladder is always full and the pressure gradient even with peristalsis has been obliterated ```
52
overflow incotninence surgery
catheterisation + TURP Males + surgery females(vaginal sling
53
Paediatric: Phimosis What is this?
inability to retract the foreskin (prepuce) covering the head (glans) of the penis - can be pathological or physiological)
54
What is phimosis most common reason for ?
circumscicion Although recurrent balanitis is also indication (inflammation of the glans)
55
at birth: adhesions present between glans penis and foreskin however when does seperationg occur ?
occurs at birth and continues to seperate - finishing around aged 2 . 9some adolescent boys retain adhesions)
56
Are adhesions of prepuce normal?
Adhesions are normal and should be treated only if they persist into adolescence and cause problems with masturbation and sexual intercourse
57
uf a non retractile foreskin is free of symptoms and self limiting, is circumscision needed?
NO
58
what is difference between non retractile forskin and phimosis ?
non retractile - ballons with urination however on examination urethral meatus is visible and with time will open and allow foreskin to retract normally. Phimosis (true) is where physically cannot usually due to scarring or balantitis
59
true phimosis treatment ? | what is the two indications
circumscision steroid creams recurrent balantitis restrction to urine flow
60
Hypospadias what is this ?
condition in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip.(underdevelopment of the urethra)
61

2 in 1000 males cure rate = 90%
62
in hypospadias: what is important to remember about circumscion?
circumcision should be deferred as the foreskin may be utilised in the correction)
