Q

How does urine flow? (protecting mechanism)
(8)

A
  1. Flows downward to prevent urine back flowing to kidneys
  2. Ureters connect to bladder = ureterovesical valves (one-way valves)
  3. Muscles of bladder (detrusor)
  4. Pressure created by urine in bladder
  5. Urine itself is sterile
  6. pH of urine is acidic: prevents bacteria
  7. Prostate gland: secrete antimicrobial fluid to prevent infection
  8. Normal flora of vagina: Lactobacillus

95
Q

1 diagnostic test - PSA blood test:

A

produces psa liquifies semen small amount will circulate in blood
higher than normal amount can show prostate cancer

96
Q

Medication for BPH: (OSIN) (3)

A

adrenergic receptor blockers (most end in osin)

A
  1. Antagonize alpha 1 receptors, relaxing smooth muscles of the prostate which helps to improve urine flow
  2. Also causes vasodilation
    NOTE: side effect is hypotension; change positions slowly
98
Q

Medication for BPH (RIDE):

A
  1. Finasteride (Proscar) also helps with male propecia
  2. Dutasteride (Avodart)
99
Q

Mode of action for RIDE medications:

A
  1. 5a reductase inhibitor is the enzyme that prevents conversion of testosterone
  2. Reduces the size of the prostate
    NOTE: side effects – erectile dysfunction, gynecomastia; pregnant women should not handle finasteride
100
Q

Q

Complications of BPH- Causes 5 :

A
  1. blockage of outflow of urine or reflux of urine from bladder to kidney

Post procedure 3 way indwelling urinary catheter inserted to provide hemostasis & urinary drainage
Continuous 3-way bladder irrigation (murphy drip) to prevent obstruction of the catheter after surgery

104

Manual irrigation for bladder
spasms, clots decreasing outflow
