Male Sex Function and Dysfunction, Prostate/Penis/Testes Flashcards
neurogenic ED causes
central (parkinson’s, alzheimers, CVA, tumor, trauma)
spinal cord (trauma, disc, spina bifida, syringomyelia, tumor, MS)
peripheral (pelvic trauma - post surgical, EtOH, vitamin deficiency, DM)
Drugs leading to ED
b-blockers spironolactone ketoconazole cimetidine antipsychotic meds
ED tx
PDE5 inhibitors
intraurethral PGE1
vacuum
intracavernosal injection (CCBs, alpha-blockers, vasodilators)
Injectables for ED tx
3Ps
papavarine
phenoxybenzamine/phentolamine
prostaglandin E1
papavarine
ED tx
- inhibits phosphodiesterase
- blocks Ca++ influx
phenooxybenzamine/phentolamine
ED tx
- alpha-blockade
- vasodilataion
PGE1
ED tx
vasodilation
Most ED is of which etiology
vasculogenic
ED tx begins with
oral agents (PDE5 inhibitors)
- inc intracellular cGMP
- inc intracavernosal smc relaxation
tx of low flow priapism
URGENT TX!!!!!!!
- corporal aspiration
- intracavernosal phenylephrine (sympathetic –> constriction)
- surgery
BPH histo
inc epithelial and stromal cells in the periurethral area
BPH etiology
androgens/estrogens –> impaired apoptosis –> inc cellular accumulation
Type 2 5-alpha reductase primary location
stromal cells
play central role in androgen-dependent growth
90% of prostatic androgen is
DHT
bladder response to BPH obstruction
- detrusor instability or dec compliance –> freq/urgency
2. dec contractility –> dec flow rate, hesitancy, inc PVR –> detrusor failuresa
BPH complications
bladder decomposition/
urinary incontinence
upper tract deterioration/renal insufficiency
hematuria
clear indication for surgery for BPH
acute urinary retention
–> Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
primary determinant of tx response or disease progression of BPH
Intl prostate sx score (IPSS)
medical therapy for BLH
alpha1-antagonists
5alpha-reductase inhibitors
aromatase inhibitors
plant extracts
BPH, bladder outlet obstruction assoc w/ _____ in prostate smc
alpha-adrenergic receptors
5alpha-reductase inhibitors for BPH
suppress DHT synthesis, dec prostate size
prostate cancer natural history
mostly death from other causes
PSA screening effects on dx of prostate cancer
declining age at diagnosis, diagnosis at earlier stages, decreased tumor volumes, and increased treatment rates
unclear effect on mortality
PSA
secreted in high concentrations into seminal guid and is involved in liquefaction of the seminal coagulum but it is found in low concentration in serum.
Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy indication
if a patient has a digital rectal exam that is suspicious for cancer and/or an elevated and rising PSA level.
gold standard for long term control of clinically localized prostate cancer in young healthy men
radical prostatectomy
prostatitis sx
dysuria dribbling/hesitancy pain in abd, groin, lower back pain in perineum painful ejaculation
prostatitis tx
alpha blockers
pain relievers
prostatic massage
lifestyle changes/home remedies
most common solid tumor in young adults
testicular cancer
*gern cell
testicular cancer, spread via
lymphatics, predictable fashion
retroperitoneal lymph node is most comm
testicular cancer non-normal mets
lung, liver, brain, bone, kidney, adrenal, GI, spleen
testicular carcinoma
more comm pure seminoma or non-seminoma?
non-seminoma 60-70%
bell clapper deformity
testicular torsion
premalignant penile lesions
bowenoid papulosis
carcinoma in situ
bowenoid papulosis
20-30 y/o
circumcised
HPV detected
rare risk of SCC devel
penile carcinoma in situ
50-60 y/o
uncircumcised
HPV detected
10%
premalignant penile lesions tx
topical 5-fluorouracil
laser ablation
partial penectomy
