infection of the prostate gland
-more common in young and middle aged men

risk factors:

  • Smoking
  • HIV
21
Q

what are the typical bacteria in Prostatitis

A

Gram negative bacilli:

  • E.Coli
  • Klebsiella pneumonia
  • proteus mirabilis
  • pseudomonas aeruginosa

Gram positive cocci

  • entercococcus species
  • normal skin flora
22
Q

Classic presentation of acute bacterial prostitis

A

Patients typically appear acutely ill
-fever chills, malaise, N/V, and even signs of sepsis

Irritate voiding symptoms

Obstructive symptoms

suprapubic or perineal pain

23
Q

classic presentation of chronic bacterial prostatitis

A

Patients typically present with more subtle signs and symptoms compared to acute prostatitis

symptoms of recurrent UTIs

Obstructive symptoms

suprapubic or perineal pain

pain with ejaculation or blood in semen

24
Q

what is the diagnosis of acute or chronic prostatitis

A

Acute:

  • digital rectal exam
  • urinalysis and urine culture

Chronic prostatitis

  • digital rectal exam
  • urinalysis and urine culture
  • diagnostic standard is prostatic massage (4 glass test or 2 glass test
25
Q

What is the treatment of prostatitis and for how long?

A

Fluoroquinolones
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole

duration of antibiotics is 4-6 weeks

26
Q

what are the risk factors of BPH

A
age
metabolic syndrome
Obesity
genetic susceptibility
excessive coffee or caffeine intake
27
Q

Pathogenesis of BPH

A

results from increased total number of stromal and glandular epithelial cells within the prostate

28
Q

pathogenesis of Lower urinary tract symptoms

A

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) from BPH

and detrusor muscle overactivity secondary to BOO

29
Q

Clinical presentation of BPH and LUTs

A

Storage symptoms:
-urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, and urinary incontinence

Voiding symptoms
-slow urinary stream, straining to void, urinary intermittency (starting/stopping micturition), splitting of voiding stream, terminal dribbling

30
Q

Diagnosis of BPH

A
Digital rectal exam
Urinalysis
BMP 
Prostate specific antigen
-often elevated in BPH

Post void residual U/S

31
Q

Pharmacologic Treatment of BPH

A

A1-blockers

  • improvement in 1-2 weeks

5a-reductase inhibitors

  • finasteride, dutasteride
  • improvement in 6-12 months

Anticholinergic agents

  • oxybutynin, tolterodine, fesoterodine, darifenacin
