23
Q

post micturition symptom=

A

terminal dribbling

24
Q

3 causes of voiding difficulty

A
  • increased outflow resistance
  • detrusor muscle failure
  • BPH
25
Q

where can the obstruction be to cause increased outflow resistance (3)

A

bladder neck
prostate
urethral stricture

26
Q

what can cause detrusor muscle failure

A

Bladder outflow obstruction (BOO)

27
Q

what is acute urinary retention

A

painful inability to void which is relieved by drainage

28
Q

volume to classify as urinary retention

A

500-800cc

29
Q

if more than 800cc urine retained=

A

acute on chronic retention

30
Q

who is BOO and retention uncommon in

A

women

31
Q

causes of retention in women

A

urethral obstruction

neurological (spinal injury)

32
Q

2 drug therapies for BOO

A

alpha blockers

5-alpha reductase inhibitors

33
Q

how can detrusor failure present

A

in voiding difficulties

34
Q

if the bladder is palpable above the pubic synthesis how much urine is retained

A

> 500ml

35
Q

what does dribble indicate about the bladder in detrusor failure

A

that function is not completely lost

36
Q

urinary incontinence=

A

involuntary loss of urine

37
Q

4 types of urine incontinence

A

stress
urge
mixed
overflow

38
Q

what is stress incontinence

A

weakness of the urinary outlet

39
Q

urge incontinence=

A

failure of bladder to store urine due to high bladder pressure

40
Q

mixed incontinence=

A

weakness of urinary outlet and bladder storage

41
Q

overflow incontinence=

A

an overfull bladder that overflows

42
Q

when would stress incontinence happen

A

by increasing abdominal pressure (cough0

43

45
Q

drugs for urinary incontinence

A

- enhance urethral resistance

47
Q

3 treatments for an overactive bladder

A

treat underlying cause
behavioural therapy
