Male Reproductive Disorders Flashcards
Prostatic pain conditions - Category 1
Acute bacteria prostatitis
Prostatic pain conditions - Category 2
Chronic bacteria prostatitis
Prostatic pain conditions - Category 3
Non bacterial prostatitis, prostatodynia, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Prostatic pain conditions - Category 4
Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis
Category 3 - Non bacterial/chronic pelvic pain syndromes - diagnostic tests
Physical exam is unremarkable
Might have tenderness at prostate
Urine test with white or red blood cells
No bacteria present
Category 3 - Non bacterial/chronic pelvic pain syndromes - treatment
NSAIDS or alpha blocker to relax muscle in prostate
PT
Category 3 - Non bacterial/chronic pelvic pain syndromes - Symptoms
Blood in urine or semen Inc urine urgency and frequency Dec urinary stream Pain or burning with urination Pain patters vary - suprapubic, perineal, low back, scrotum, urethra, penis)
PT implications in prostatitis
Screen for fever/chills, frequent and painful urination, erectile dysfunction
Unknown cause of back pain in younger males (under 45) may be chronic prostatitis (more of a spasm of PFM)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is what
Enlargement of prostate gland
Grows from pea size to walknut shape
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - epidemiology
Commonly begins around 40-50 yrs old
75% of males over 50 yrs old
Theory based on hormonal changes related to aging
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - growth of prostatic tissue takes over
true prostate tissue which encroaches on prstatic urethra leading to symptoms
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - symptoms
Urinary obstruction Hesitancy and itnermittency Weak stream Terminal dribbling Overflow incontinence Straining to void Trigone hypertrophy
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - advanced symptoms of urinary retention
Post void residual Bladder infection Bladder, kidney stones Hematuria Retention, kidney failure, death
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - diagnosis
Digital rectal exam
Urodynamic tests
Abdominal US
Elevated PSA levels call for tissue biopsy
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - treatment
Mild - monitor condition
Meds - Alpha adrenergic blockers to relax bladder neck, 5 alpha reductase inhibitors to shrink glandular tissue
Surgical - TURP, TUIP
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - PT implications
Screen for obstructed voiding
Bladder training if overactive or inc freqnecy
Strength training for incontinence related to BPH procedures
