MALE GU 2 Flashcards
Lower UTI:
bladder (cystitis),
prostate (prostatitis)
Upper UTI
pyelonephritis
Urethritis
normal renal structure and function
Uncomplicated UTI:
structural/functional abnormality of the GU tract
Complicated UTI :
Risk factors for UTI
↑bacterial inoculation
i.e. sexual activity
↑binding of uropathogenic bacteria
i.e. decrease estrogen, menopause
↓urine flow
i.e. dehydration, obstruction
Frequency, dysuria, urgency, polyuria, hematuria
Suprapubic pain/ tenderness/ distension
Cystitis
Vaginal d/c: consider PID
Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting
NO DYSURIA
Pain/ tenderness: flank, CVA
Acute pyelonephritis
Dysuria only if with cystitis
Pain: perineum, rectum, scrotum, penis, bladder, lower back
Fever, malaise, nausea, vomiting
Urinary Sx
Swollen or tender prostate
Prostatitis
Infection-induced inflammation of the urethra (typically from a STI)
Majority are asymptomatic
Urethral discharge
Dysuria (in men)
Urethritis
UTI investigations
Urinalysis
Gram stain and urine culture
DNA probe/ NAAT
CBC
Imaging should be considered in a MALE patient with
Hx of kidney stones (esp. struvite - staghorn calculi
Diabetic Pt
Polycystic kidneys
TB
Plain film imaging (KUB)
May show radiopaque stones
Renal Ultrasound
to detect hydronephrosis, pyonephrosis, and perirenal abscess
Transrectal U/S
prostate abscess
CT scan
helpful for stones
Non-contrast: obstructive nephrolithiasis
F>M
Associated with psychiatric disorders (anxiety) & pain syndromes (fibromyalgia)
Clinical presentation:
Chronic bladder (suprapubic) pain with filling, relief with voiding
Urgency, frequency
Dyspareunia
Diagnosis:
Bladder pain with no other attributable cause for > 6 weeks*
Urinalysis: normal; Culture: negative
Cystoscopy: Hunner lesions or glomerulations (submucosal petechiae)
Interstitial Cystitis
Age < 35: Sexually transmitted (Chlamydia, gonorrhea)
Age > 35: Bladder outlet obstruction (E. coli)
Gradual* onset of testicular pain
Epididymal tenderness
Positive Prehn’s sign: pain relief with testicular elevation
U/S: Enlarged, thickened epididymis with increased blood flow on color Doppler;
Acute Epididymitis
Ultrasound r/o testicular torsion
Mumps (most common)
Could be bacterial
Abrupt onset of testicular pain
U/S**
Swollen testicles with hypoechoic and hypervascular areas; striated testicle
Acute Orchitis
Ddx: Testicular torsion
