genito-urinary Flashcards
prehns sign
decreased pain with scrotal elevation
+ in epididymitis
- in torsion
what is urge incontinence
bladder contractions that cannot be controlled by the brain
stress incontinence
dysfunction of the urethral sphincter, allow urine to leak with increased intra abdominal pressure
overflow incontinence
when urinary retention leads to bladder distention and overlow of urine
functional incontinence
untimely urination caused by physical or cognitve disability, preventing a person from reaching a toilet
tx for urge incontinence
anticholinergics such as oxybutynin or tolterodine
tx for stress incontinence
estrogen, kegel, electrical muscle stimulation, bladder training, pessaries or implants
sling
tx for overactive and overflow bladder
overactive: tolterodine and oxybutynin
overflow: cath with or w/out indwelling
asymptomatic abdominal mass found in childhood
do u/s then CT][po, look for wilms tumor
dactinomycin, vincristine, doxorubicin
tx for wilms tumor since it is chemo-sensitive
cystitis commonly caused by what organism
coliform bacteria (E. Coli 80-85%)
occ gram + bacteria
cystitis route of infection and gender
ascending from urethra
women
clinical findings in cystitis
irritative voiding sx(frequency, urgency, dysuria)
suprapubic discomfort
microscopic hematuria
exam nml in elderly
UA and culture for cystitis
UA: pyuria, bacteriuria, varying hematuria
culture: positive for offending organism
tx of uncomplicated cystitis in women and men
FQ or nitrofurantoin 3-5 days
resistant E coli is common, bactrim can be used
men rarely have this
phenazophridine
urinary analgesic
turns urine dark orange or red
epididymitis acquired how
retrograde spread of organisms through the vas deferens
epididymitis organisms
younger than 35 y/o: chlamydia and gonococci
older than 35 y/o: E. Coli
epididymitis presentation
history may reveal what
heaviness and dull aching discomfort which can radiate up the ipsilateral flank
maybe heavy lifting, trauma, or sex
epididymitis exam
markedly swollen and TTP
eventually warm, erythematous, enlarged scrotal mass
maybe fevers/chills
prehn sign classic, not very reliable
epididymitis UA and culture
UA: pyuria and bacteriuria
culture: positive for organism
epididymitis tx
younger than 35 y/o: ceftriaxone 250 IM plus doxy 100mg BID
or azithromycin 1 gm po 1 week. test in 1 week
older than 35 y/o: cipro 500mg BID for 10-14 days
orchitis caused by what process
in who/when
caused by ascending bacterial infection from the urinary tract
occurs in 25% postpubertal males who have mumps infection
occurs in 25% postpubertal males who have mumps infection
orchtitis
orchitis sx
testicular swelling and tenderness
usually UNIlateral
fever and tachycardia
orchitis UA, culture,
other test
UA: pyuria and bacteriuria
culture: + for organism
ultrasonography if abscess or tumor suspected to rule out testicular torsion
orchitis tx
if mumps is the cause: symptomatic relief
if bacteria is the cause: treat like epididymitis
scrotal elevation and ice
painful etiologies of scrotal swelling
epididymitis, STDs, prostatis, and testicular torsion
all prostatitis forms present how
irritative bladder symptoms: frequency, urgency, dysuria
and some obstruction
chronic pelvic pain syndrome commonly assoc with what
cause
chronic nonbacterial prostatitis
most common of the prostatitis syndromes
cause unknown
sudden onset of high fevers, chills, and low back and perineal pain
acute prostatitis
UA in prostatitis
pyuria
may have hematuria and bacteriuria
how to distinguish a chronic prostate infection from another urinary tract infection
4 glass localization test
what occurs in 25% postpubertal males who have mumps infection
orchitis
prostatitis presentation on exam
prostate swollen and tender; BOGGY
NO vigorous prostate exam because it can cause septicemia
painless etiologies of scrotal swelling
hydrocele, varicocele
prostatitis fluid
reveals leukocytosis
acute infections will have E. Coli
Chronic infections will have recurrence of same organism or enterococcus
prostatitis tx
acute
uncomplicated
chronic
hospitalize acute. treat with FQ, or gentamycin and ampicillin
uncomplicated: Cipro 500 BID or Levaquin 500 qd for 2-6 wks or
bactrim 160/800 BID for 6 weeks
do culture urine after 1 week
chronic: FQ 1-3 weeks more effective than bactrim 1-3 months
LONG TIME TREATMENT
effective analgesicis for prostatitis
what if lower urinary tract symptoms present
NSAIDs
alpha blockers
chronic, recurrent, or resistant prostatitis with or without prostatic calculi
may require transurethral resection of the prostate for ultimate resolution
