why Lower urinary tract symptoms are seen in men with BPH
changes in bladder function
-reduces bladder compliance
-reduces detrusor contractility
drug treatment for renal BPH
tamsulosin-> a-adrenergic antagonist
finasteride-> 5-a-reductase inhibitor
surg treatment for renal BPH
TURP= trans-urethral resection of prostate
urinary incontinence treatment
lifestyle - weight loss, smoking cessation, pelvic floor exercise
pharm- oestrogen therapy
surg- artificial urinary sphincter (AUS)
urge urinary incontinence (overactive bladder= increased urinary frequency, urgency) treatment
lifestyle- loss weight , stop smoking
pharm- anti-cholinergic drugs= trospium
b-3-agonsit =betmiga
surg= PTNS- Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation//BOTOX
Where are baroreceptors found - low Vs high BP
– Low BP receptors: atria, RV, pulmonary
vasculature
– High BP receptors: carotid sinus, aortic arch, JGA
