25
what causes genital warts? what do they look like? what potential, though low, do they carry? what risk factors are associated with genital warts?
HPV (6 & 11 account for 90% of infections) PAINLESS - can be bothersome due to location, soft, irregular surface ** may be dormant OR undetectable!! *cancer causing potential risk factors - associated with use of birth control due to increased sexual contact w/o the use of barriers, multiple sex partners and early sexual activity
26
what causes syphilitic cancres? how do they appear? what testing is done?
treponema pallidum solitary PAINLESS lesion NON-EXUDATIVE, INDURATED EDGE, NON-TENDER (key words!) serological testing is done as well as lymph exam - region LA will be present, nontender
27
painless lesion of the penis is ____ until proven otherwise
Syphilis
28
what causes chancroid? how do they appear? what testing is done?
haemophilus ducreyi PAINFUL, non-indurated ulcers, irregular edges, red borders. GRAY/YELLOW exudate. PCR testing is done, as well as lymph exam - regional TENDER LA will be present
29
men who are uncircumcised are at greater risk for developing what conditions?
carcinoma in situ | squamous cell carcinoma
30
what virus plays a role in the development of SCC of the penis? how does the lesion appear? How would you DX?
HPV 16 & 18 (common for women's cervical cancer*) non-painful, generally described as a "sore that does not heal" biopsy that shit.
31
what condition shows up as hair-like projections on the glans penis?
pearly penile papules
32
rut roh! this man had a rash develop after using a latex condom! What could it be?
contact dermatitis
33
what are some risk factors associated with Erectile Dysfunction (inability to attain or sustain an erection satisfactory to perform sexual activity and ejaculation)
``` drugs (SSRI, NSAID) neurogenic disorders (AD, Parkinsons, MS) surgery aging kidney failure smoking DM alcohol riding a gahdamn bike! Shit squishes the balls.. NO OXYGEN! HELP!!! ```
34
what are pertinent questions to ask for ED and what work-up would you perform?
what is the pattern? time of day? are you stressed, big guy? partner issues? ASK THEM, WHAT THEY THINK IS CAUSING IT.. Workup involves: UA, CMP, hormones
35
a young guy thought it would be super funny to take a viagra and have sex all day with his lady friend.. come to find out, he developed this condition.. what is it? What are the risk factors and how is it classified? how do you dx this?
PRIAPISM! - prolonged painful erection lasting longer than 4 hours EMERGENCY - causes ischemia or even necrosis ``` classified as: LOW FLOW (Most Common) - painful, tender, leads to local hypoxia, metabolically related HIGH FLOW - non-tender penis ``` dx'd via color doppler US
36
what are painless causes for mass/swelling of the scrotum?
``` tumors hematocele hydrocele vericocele INDIRECT inguinal hernia spermatocele edema cysts abscess (can be tender too) ```
37
what is a hematocele, what is a hydrocele? how can you differentiate the two?
hematocele - blood filled swelling, may be tender initially, DOES NOT transilluminate - generally post trauma hydrocele - serous fluid filled mass - common in kiddos - TRANSILLUMINATES and you can confirm by scrotal US
38
which condition presents as a "bag of worms" appearance? what side is most common? and what are the r/o associated with the R and the L testicle or older men. How is it dx'd?
varicocele 80% occur in the L in an older man L - tumor or mass that could occlude L renal or testicular vein R - occlusion of the vena cava is possible! RULE THIS OUT! dx via angiography
39
what condition has a risk of bowel strangulation?
indirect inguinal hernia - large, compressible scrotal mass that may auscultate bowel sounds **can't palpate above the region of swelling
40
If a patient between the ages of 10-25 presents to your office with SUDDEn, ACUTE ONSET, UNILATERAL lower abdominal pain.. which condition is this and what are the KEY factors you need to assess?
Testicular Torsion! EMERGENCY! this needs to be de-torsed in s sign (meaning, you lift the testicle and the pain is not relieved!) Send him off! Most individual who develop this condition never had the testicle attach as it should, to the posterior scrobal sac
41
which rare cause of testicular pain presents with "blue dot discoloration"?
torsion of testicular appendix | good ddx for testicular torsion, along with trauma and epididymitis
42
male pt. with painful swelling around his testicle, he complains of radiating pain along the spermatic cord to the lower abdomen.. which condition is this? what types are there? PE? what may be visualized on the overlying skin?
ACUTE EPIDIDYMITIS!!! Infectious vs Non-infectious Infectious - teen to 35 think GC/CT; 35+ think UTI from coliform bacilli non-infectious - heavy lifting, local trauma PE - Positive Prehn's sign (elevate testes, pain is relieved) swollen epididymis upon palpation overlying skin may look like peau d' orange, it's moveable (fixed suggests abscess)
43
what male genitalia issue may be caused by TB?
chronic epididymitis - inflamed with no signs of infxn. non-tender. TB can cause by often associated with recurrent acute epididymitis
44
when the testes fail to descend during infancy, what is this condition called and what are the variations? Patients with this are at a high risk of..
cryptorchidism True - testes remain in abdomen due to mech. obstruction or hormone abn incomplete - testis in inguinal canal ectopic testis - lies outside the usual descent path hypermobile/retractile - sometimes in scrotum (hot bath) sometimes retracted up into the inguinal canal HIGH RISK OF DEVELOPING TESTICULAR CANCER!!! (2.5-20X more likely)
45
what is the most common solid cancer in males 15-34? what are the ssx of this condition? how do you work it up?
Testicular Cancer painless, testicular nodule, smooth enlargement, firm, nontender *sensation of heaviness scrotal US, pelvic CT increased: alpha-fetoprotein, HCG, LDH (esp. LDH1)
46
if a male presents and can't seem to void or empty his bladder.. what should this trigger in your mind to start thinking about?
PROSTATE! any condition that narrows the prostatic urethra will lead to voiding symptoms.
47
what is the average size of the prostate?
4 cm in length and width
48
what can consistency of the prostate tell you about a potential condition?
normal - like tip of the nose BPH - feels rubbery Congested - boggy (like your cheek) Indurated - nodules (infxn) hard! - consider tumor, esp. if distinct edge.
49
PSA - what in the hell is this?
prostate specific antigen protein produced only by the prostate. levels increase from: cancer bacterial infxn damage due to infarct normally a little PSA is found in the blood, if the prostate is enlarged, this leakage appears exaggerated.
50
Two types of PSA measures that are used:
PSA velocity (how quickly it elevates) Free/Bound PSA ratio (less free seen with cancers)
51
this condition is commonly seen in men over the age of 50, it presents with urinary urgency and frequency due to incomplete emptying and rapid refill of the bladder. the force of the stream is decreased and they will generally complain of "dribbling" whether initially or after relieving themselves, nocturia may also be present - what condition is this? what is seen on PE and what needs to be r/o?
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) DRE - enlarged, rubbery prostate is palpated, with the loss of it's central sulcus due to hyperplasia. Non-tender cancer needs to be ruled out, this can be done with TRUS, or biopsy.
52
BPH though benign, may coexist with what condition?
prostate cancer!!
53
young man ptc with sudden onset of spiking fever, chills, lower back pain and the inability to void - what condition should be considered and what should be avoiding pertaining to this condition?? and what work up would you perform?
Acute bacterial prostatitis DO NOT PERFORM PROSTATIC MASSAGE - MAY LEAD TO SEPTICEMIA!!!!!! PE - Gentle DRE reveals exquisitely tender prostate, swollen, warm. may see d/c after DRE, culture that for urinary pathogens (cause of acute bacterial prostatitis) UA - WBCs
54
male ptc with recurrent UTIs, he's fatigued, he has chronic lower abdominal or perianal pain, but lately - he's been experiencing sexual dysfunction, pain with ejaculation and a milky d/c.. what condition is this? what is seen on PE? what labs will you run?
chronic bacterial prostatitis upon PE - DRE, moderately tender, boggy, enlarged, soft labs - after PERFORMING A PROSTATE MASSAGE (yes, it's ok for chronic, NOT acute) - urine C&S, EPS culture, semen culture
55
what's the deal with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS)?
who the hell knows - many different ideas, but nothing set in stone - a lot of times, however, it's becoming increasingly more common that it's a natural process to empty the prostate (this happens during ejaculation), men may have encountered an emotional breakup and stopped sexual intercourse - and with implementation of ejaculate frequency, the prostate's inflammation will decrease - What guy doesn't want to hear that?!
56
what are the signs and symptoms of CP/CPPS?
``` pelvic pain for > 3 mo ** disability out of proportion to PE/lab findings ** dysuria, sexual dysfunction post ejaculation pain****** decreased libido ```
57
prostate cancer kills many men (true or false)
FALSE! More men die WITH prostate cancer.. They generally don't die FROM prostate cancer. it's the most common cancer in men over the age of 50, african american males are at higher risk.
58
what are some risk factors for prostate cancer?
``` family history hormones diet obesity smoking medications vasectomy (controversy) ```
59
what is found on PE for prostate cancer? what labs should be ordered?
DRE - asymm, NT prostate, firm, stony hard, irregular nodules **pathognomonic** PSA velocity increase of >0.75 ng/ml/year or higher (based on 3 PSA measurements over 18-24 months) when PSA is 4-10 ng/ml, CaP should be a suspicion
60
How is prostate cancer diagnosed?
TRUS w. biopsy Axial CT or MRI (for staging)
