Male GU Flashcards
urethral discharge dysuria, abd pain/abnml vaginal bleeding
Uretheritis
NAAT or urinalysis/dipstick with positive leukocyte esterase or large amount of wbc
urethritis
Chlamydia treatment
Azithromycin
Gonorrhea treatment?
Cetriaxone
All males with cystitis
complicated cystitis
MC pathogen of cystitis
E. coli.
Dysuria, bruning, frequency & urgency, hematuria, suprapubic pain, and tenderness.
Cystitis
Urinalysis/dipstick with pyuria (<10 WBC/hpf), hematuria, leukocyte esterase, nitrites, cloudy urine.
cystitis
Definitive diagnosis for cystitis
Urine culture w/ 100,000 CFUs and exact pathogen
What diagnosis for cystitis do you do for complicated cases
urine culture
First line cystitis treatment
Nitrofurantoin
Complicated cystitis treatment
Fluoroquinolones
Terrible dysuria treatment
phenazopyridine- don’t use for more than 48 hrs and orange pee
Pregnant cystitis
Nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin, augmentin or amoxicillin.
involuntary urine leakage when the bladder is full
overflow incontinence `
when bladder detrusor muscle is underachieve or with bladder outlet obstruction (enlarged prostate)
overflow incontinence
MCC of overflow incontinence
neurologic disorder or autonomic system dysfunction like MS, spinal injuries, sclerosis/stenosis
loss of urine with no warning and leakage or dribbling in setting of incomplete bladder emptying, weak or intermittent urinary stream, hesitancy, frequency, and nocturia.
overflow incontinence
Diagnose overflow incontinence
Post void residual > 200 ml
First line overflow incontinence
intermittent or indwelling catheter
med to increase detrusor activity
Cholinergics (Bethanechol)
overflow incontinence treatment if enlarged prostate
alpha blockers
involuted leakage of urine with increased abdominal pressure that is greater than urethral pressure
stress incontinence aka laugh n pee
stress incontinence risk factors
young women who have had vaginal deliveries, surgery, estrogen loss, and prostatectomy.
urine leakage with no urge to urinate prior to leakage
stress incontinence
stress incontinence treatment
kegels, lifestyle modification- protective garments, weight losses smoking cessation, drinking less water
2nd line stress incontinence treatment
Pessaries, surgery (midurethral sling), alpha agonists
involuntary leakage preceded by or accompanied by sudden urge to urinate- strong urge to void with inability to make it to bathroom to urinate
urge incontinence
urge incontinence mc in
older women
cause of urge incontinence
detrusor muscle overactivity (involuntary contractions). Occur with increased age and bladder infections.
increased urgency and frequency, small volume voids, and nocturia.
urge incontinence
Treatment for urge incontinence
bladder training and Kegels
First line med treatment for urge incontinence
Antimuscarinics (oxybutynin)- antispasmics that increase bladder capacity and they are anticholinergic
cause bladder relaxation
Mirabegron
anticholinergic effect and alpha adrenergic agonist
TCAs
Surgery for urge incontinence
bottom to relax bladder muscle
bedwetting while sleeping in children 5 y/o or older
enuresis
enuresis primary
Absence of any period of time with nighttime dryness. May have a family history. Most common type
enuresis secondary
Enuresis after a dry period of at least 6 months. Usually due to a stressful event (parental divorce, birth of sibling, etc.)
First line enuresis
motivational therapy, education. Bladder training.
Most effective long term treatment for enuresis
enuresis alarm: sensor on bed pad and goes off when wet continued until min of 2 wks of consecutive dry nights
Desmopression in enuresis
nocturnal polyuria with normal bladder function capacity.
Refractory enuresis
TCAs
MC GU cancer
Bladder cancer
MC of bladder cancer
Urothelial (Transitional cell) carcinoma
MC risk factor for bladder cancer
smoking, male, over 40 y/o, occupational exposure to dyes, leather, rubber.
painless int hematuria (often gross), dysuria, urgency and frequency
Bladder cancer
Diagnosis for bladder cancer
urinalysis, CT urology, cystoscopy w/ biopsy –> gold standard
Treatment for bladder cancer
Localized or superficial = tumor resection with f/u every 3 months
Invasive = cystectomy, chemotherapy, radiation
Recurrent = injection of BCG vaccine b/c immune reaction will stimulate cross reaction with tumor antigens
increased estrogen or decreased androgens
gynecomastia
gynecomastia risk factors
high maternal estrogen, puberty, older males
palpable mass of tissue at least 0.5 cm in diameter and centrally located under nipple, symmetrical, tender to plapation
gynocomastia
management for gynocomastia
Supportive = stop offending medications
Tamoxifen = selective estrogen receptor modifier that is an estrogen antagonist in the breast
Surgery if refractory to medical therapy
narrowing of lumen due to infection, injury, or surgical manipulation produces a scar that reduces the caliber of urethra
urethral strictures
chronic obstructive voiding sxs (weak urinary cream & incomplete bladder emptying)
urethral strictures
urethral strictures diagnosis
Cystourethroscopy (or variation of)
urethral strictures treatment
Dilation or surgical reconstruction
MC urethral injury
men
MCC of urethral injury
blunt force trauma, pelvic fractures, MVA
gross hematuria, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, lower abd pain, blood at urethral meatus, swelling or ecchymosis of scrotum, penis or perineum or high riding prostate.
TRIAD: Blood at meatus, inability to void, distended bladder
urethral injuryq=
urethral injury diagnosis
Retrograde urethrogram
urethral injury treatment
surgery, catheter placement & healing for mild
hypospadias
ventral placement of urethral opening
MCC of hypospadias
