18
Q

refractory chronic prostatitis tx

A

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)

19
Q

BPH definition

A

benign glandular and stromal hyperplasia in the periurethral or transitional zone of the prostate leading to bladder outlet obstruction

20
Q

BPH is most common in ___ because…

A

older men because prostate hyperplasia is part of normal aging

21
Q

hormones involved in BPH

A

DHT
estrogens
both are prostatic growth factors

22
Q

testosterone is converted to ____ by _____

A

DHT by 5alpha reductase enzyme

23
Q

estrogen is ______ in BPH

A

elevated

24
Q

testosterone levels are ______ in BPH because

A

decreased because it is converted to DHT which leads to hyperplasia of prostate

25
Q

_______ causes irritative symptoms of BPH

A

detrusor overactivity

26
Q

static component of BPH

A

enlargement of the prostate gland

27
Q

dynamic component of BOH

A

increase in smooth muscle tone of prostate and bladder neck that is mediated through alpha 1 adrenergic receptors

28
Q

what happens to the detrusor muscle in BPH?

A

bladder muscle thickens due to increased pressure while voiding

29
Q

FUNWISE sx of BPH

A
frequency
urgency
nocturia
weak stream
intermittent stream
straining 
emptying not complete
30
Q

DRE BPH findings

A

symmetrically enlarged smooth firm prostate with rubbery texture

31
Q

IPSS

A

international prostate symptom score that categorizes symptoms “bother” in the past 30 days

32
Q

AUASI

A

American Urological Association Symptom Index determine prostate disease severity and response to tx

33
Q

mild IPSS score tx

A

reassurance and watchful waiting for 1 year

34
Q

TURP

A

removes excess prostate tissue relieving obstruction in BPH

35
Q

TURP AEs

A

sexual dysfunction

urinary incontinence

36
Q

rapid symptom relief of BPH

A

alpha 1 blockers like tamsulosin

37
Q

suppresses prostate growth and can decrease prostate size

A

5 alpha reductase blockers like finasteride

38
Q

BPH complications

A
recurrent UTI
bladder calculi
hydronephrosis
CKD
hematuria
39
Q

hydronephrosis is

A

dilation of renal pelvis, calyces or proximal ureter due to a distal obstruction leading to oliguria

40
Q

detrusor muscle hypertrophy can lead to

A

bladder trabeculation and pseudodiverticula formation

41
Q

irritative symptoms are due to

A

urinary storage

42
Q

obstructive urinary symptoms are due to

A

voiding issues from obstruction

43
Q

first line pharmacotherapy for symptomatic BPH

A

alpha blockers (-zosin)

44
Q

decrease bladder neck and retrial sphincter tone results in

A

decreased resistance to urinary outflow (more pee)

improves LUTS
