Q

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - PT implications - screen for obstructed voiding

A

Urinate more than every 2 hours or more than once a night
Difficulty in starting urine flow
Weak flow of interrupted stream
Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

18
Q

Prostate cancer - epidemiology

A

1st most common cancer in men
2nd leading cause of cancer death
Most common malignancy diagnosed in men
4th leading source of neoplastic metastasis to spine
Bony metastases are common to spine, ribs, pelvis

19
Q

Prostate cancer - risk factors

A
Age over 50
African American (2:)
Family hx
High fat diet
Alcohol consumption
Environmental toxins
Geography (US and Scandinavian)
20
Q

Prostate cancer - symptoms

A

Early in disease is asymptomatic

Late in disease - hematuria, impotence, metastasis to bone

21
Q

Prostate cancer - diagnosis

A

Digital rectal exam
Elevated PSA levels calls for tissue biopsy
TRUS
Urodynamic tests
Abdominal US, CT and MRI
Bone scan (only if PSA over 20 to check for metastasis)

22
Q

Prostate cancer - treatment

A

Watchful waiting being used more often
Radiation therapy
Hormonal therapy (androgen deprivation meds)
Surgery

23
Q

Prostate cancer - treatment - surgery - adverse effects of surgery

A

Sexual - ED (7/10 due to injury to nerves innervating penis)
Urinary - stress incontinence
Urinary obstruction - scar tissue btw urethra and bladder neck

24
Q

Prostate cancer - post prostatectomy

A

Hospital stay 2-5 days
Pain mngmt and antibiotics
Catheter in place for 1 to 3 wks
Allow time for healing

25
Q

PT implications with prostate cancer

A

Screening men with pre existing prostate conditions
Establish baseline for urinary function and note changes over time
Non mechanical back pain in thoracic, lumbar, and sacral area may be metastatic spread to axial skeleton

26
Q

PT implications with prostate cancer - what else besides screening

A

Pre-operative pelvic floor training
After radical prostatectomy - PFM reed, biofeedback
Complications of med tx include infection, incontinence, sexual dysfunction
Exercise

27
Q

Male urinary incontinence - epidemiology

A

Wide range reported in lit due to surgical technique and defining incontinence (6-87%)
Post prostatectomy incontinence up to 60%
Incidence is equal to females - just happens later in life

28
Q

Males and continence

A

Urethral pressure is more than bladder pressure

29
Q

Males and continence - major contributors

A
Smooth mm sphincter - removed in prostatectomy, loss of tonic mm support
Striated urethral sphincter
Levator ani
Bulbocavernosus
urethral mucosa
30
Q

Male urinary incontinence - treatment

A

Medication
Surgery
Injection of bulking agents
Pelvic floor muscle exercises

31
Q

Male urinary incontinence - treatment - PT

A
Education
PFM training
Biofeedback
Focus on urethral mechanism with most effective cues to retract penis
Breath training with PFM integration
Train pre activation of PFM before exertion
Facilitation of PFM
Bladder training
32
Q

Screening questions for pelvic floor - for all patients!

A
Do you ever leak urine or stool
Do you ever wear a pad
Do you have pain with intercourse
Do you have genital or pelvic pain
Do you have difficulty emptying your bladder completely 
Do you have constipation
33
