Transitional

Most of the PERIPHERAL zone
⭐ A Portion of PERIPHERAL ZONE is left behind
Why BPH patient CAN STILL DEVELOP PROSTATE CANCER even after TURP
⭐ A Portion of PERIPHERAL ZONE is left behind
FALSE CAPSULE in BPH is formed by
Transitional zone
Between TRUE PROSTATE CAPSULE & FALSE PROSTATE CAPSULE, lies
PROSTATIC VENOUS PLEXUS
Relation NERVE Bundles responsible for ERECTION with Prostate Capsule
Posterolateral to CAPSULE
NERVE Bundles responsible for ERECTION can be injured in which PROCEDURE
Radical PROSTATECTOMY
⚡⚡ MOST COMMON COMPLICATION following TURP
Retrograde EJACULATION
Cause of Retrograde EJACULATION after TURP
Bladder neck & sphincter damage during TURP
Retrograde EJACULATION
Classical FEATURE
No SEMEN during INTERCOURSE
➕
SEMEN comes OUT LATER in URINE
Types of PROSTATIC STONES
- Endogenous
✨ Less COMMON - Exogenous
✨ MORE COMMON
✨ From KIDNEY or BLADDER
⚡⚡ MOST COMMON ENDOGENOUS Stone OF PROSTATE
Calcium PHOSPHATE
💊💉 MANAGEMENT of PROSTATIC STONE
No management required
Corpora AMYLACEA
Lamellated bodies found in PROSTATE
✨ Precursor for PROSTATIC STONES
⚡⚡ MOST COMMON CAUSE of ACUTE BACTERIAL PROSTATITIS
E. coli
Tender BOGGY PROSTATE is a Characteristic feature of
Acute PROSTATITIS
Prostatic massage should be avoided in ACUTE PROSTATITIS
WHY?
Can lead to SEPTICEMIA
Threads in URINE EXAMINATION seen in
Acute PROSTATITS
Chronic PROSTATITIS
Long ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY is needed for ACUTE PROSTATITIS
Why?
Antibiotics don’t penetrate PROSTATIC CAPSULE

Continue for longer duration
2-3 WEEK Therapy
Causes of CHRONIC Prostatitis
Repeated episodes of ACUTE PROSTATITIS
🧑🏻⚕️ Clinical Features of CHRONIC PROSTATITIS

- Dysuria

💊💉 MANAGEMENT of ACUTE RETENTION OF URINE
Put FOLEY’S CATHETER (OR) SUPRAPUBIC CATHETER
Definition of CHRONIC RETENTION of Urine
≥ 250 ml of RESIDUAL URINE is present chronically
🧑🏻⚕️ Clinical Features of CHRONIC RETENTION of URINE
NO PAIN
➕
1. Incomplete emptying of Bladder
2. Overflow INCONTINENCE
3. PALPABLE BLADDER
4. Renal Impairment
💊💉 MANAGEMENT of CHRONIC RETENTION
Urgent CATHETERIZATION with INTERMITTENT CLAMPING
Rapid Decompression in CHRONIC RETENTION can cause
HEMATURIA
Adequate fluid needs to given after POST-OBSTRUCTIVE DIURESIS in CHRONIC RETENTION of urine
Dehydration can occur
