invx LUTS
urinalysis // PR // PSA
what scoring system affects LUTS affect on daily life
IPSS
mx voiding LUTS symptoms
physio // alpha blocker eg doxasocin,tamulosin // 5a reductase eg finasteride // anticholinergic eg Oxybutynin
mx overactive bladder (urge)
reduce fluid // bladder retraining // oxybutiin, tolterodine // mirebegron
mx nocturia LUTS
furosomide 40mg // desmopressin
symptoms BPH

complications BPH
UTI, retention, obstrictive
invs BPH
urinalysis // U+Es // PSA // urinary frequency // IPPS
medical mx PBH
1 = alpha antagonist eg tamulosin // 2 = 5alpha eg
medical mx PBH
1 = alpha antagonist eg tamulosin // 2 = 5alpha eg finasteride // 3 = combination of alpha 5a if voiding symptoms // 3 = alpha + anticholinergic if storage and voiding
mechanism + SE alpha antagonists
decrease smooth muscle tone of bladder and prostate // dizzy, postural hypotension, dry mouth, depression
mechanism + SE 5a reductase inhibitors
block testosterone –> DHT (causes BPH) // ED, reduced libido, ejaculation problems, gynaecomastia
when are 5a reducatase inhibitors indicated in BPH
significantly large + progressing prostate // symptoms can take 6 months to resolve
surgery for BPH
transurethral resection (TURP)
