  • recent history of UTI, unprotected sex, catheter, mumps
20
Q

Common exam findings in epididymo-orchitis

A
  • pyrexial
  • scrotum erythematous
  • testis/epididymis enlarged + tender
  • reactive hydrocoele
  • fournier’s gangrene (rare)
21

  • epididymyal cancer
  • hydrocoele
  • reducible inguino-scrotal hernia
23
Q

If a man presents with a scrotal lump that you can’t ‘get above’, what is it likely to be?

24
Q

Common exam findings of hydrocoele?

A
  • testis not palpabale separately
  • can get above
  • transilluminates
25
Q

Describe a hydrocoele

A

Scrotal swelling due to imbalance of fluid production + resorption between tunica albuginea + tunica vaginalis

26
Q

Common exam findings of epidiymal cyst

A
  • painless
  • separate from testis
  • can get above
  • transilluminates
27
Q

If a man presents with a scrotal lump with a dull ache at the end of day, what is it likely to be?

A

Varicocele

28
Q

Common exam findings of Varicocele

A
  • feels like bag of worms above testis
  • not tender
29
Q

Treatment of testicular tumour

A

Inguinal orchidectomy
Removal of testicle through an incision in inguinal region

30
Q

Treatment of epidiymal cyst

A

Reassure
Excise if large

31
Q

Treatment of adult hydrocoele

A

Reassure
Remove is large or symptomatic

32
Q

Causes of urinary retention

A
  • BPH or prostatic cancer
  • phimosis, meatal stenosis
  • urethral stricture
  • drugs
  • UTI
  • over distension
  • following surgery
  • neurological
33
Q

What do older men with nocturnal enuresis have until proven otherwise?

A

Chronic retention with overflow incontinence

34
Q

What could be causing voiding symptoms?

35
Q

A

Phimosis
Urethral stricture
BPH

36
Q

What does spraying of urine suggest?

A

Urethral stricture

37
Q

Managment of BPH

A
  • reduce caffeine intake + fizzy drinks
  • no need to drink >2.5L per day
  • a blockers e.g. tamsulosin
  • 5a reductase inhibitors e.g. finasteride
38
Q

Why are alpha blockers used in Managment of BPH?
Example

A
  • relax smooth muscle within prostate + bladder neck > symptoms relief
  • e.g. tamsulosin
39
Q

Why are 5a reductase inhibitors used in management of BPH?
Example

A
  • act by ‘shrinking’ prostate via androgen deprivation
  • slow progression + reduces risk of retention
  • e.g. finasteride
40
Q

List two drugs used in BPH management + their drug class

A

tamsulosin - a blocker
finasteride - 5a reductase inhibitor

41
Q

Indications of surgical treatment of BPH

A
  • Failed lifestyle + medical management
