Q

Normal- smooth rubbery, firm, symmetrical

Evaluation for BPH

A

GU
DRE: Size, consistency, nodules (bladder), induration (infxn), symmetry
Neurologic exam- sphincter tone
UA-UTI/prostatitis- hematuria
Serum creatinine, blood glucose-Bladder outlet obstruction, renal/pre-renal dz, DM

Serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)* >4.0 ng/mL prostate cancer

Total serum PSA, %free PSA ration:
% free PSA
LOW= prostate cancer,
HIGH= BPH

(Urology):Maximal urinary flow rate
<15 mL/sec indicates obstruction
Post void residual urine volume
>12 mL abnormal in men

Q

TX OF BPH MOD

A

Moderate BPH-combo no EVB, long therapy
DOC 1st- **α-1-adrenergic antagonists (terazosin, doxazosin)
helps outlet obstruction d/t tension of prostatic smooth muscle
NO change in volume
SE-orthostatic hypotension, start low 1-6wks titrate to TD

5-α-reductase inhibitors-(finasteride, dutasteride)
NO ED
Inhibit conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone
Reduce size of the prostate
Side effects: decreased libido, erectile dysfxn
Decrease in serum PSA levels-

Phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors
BPH with ED
Tadalafil (Cialis) approved by FDA for this purpose
also dec BP- Inc hypotensive effects of α-blockers

Q

Erectile Dysfunction:

A

Inability to acquire or sustain erection
Impotence = symptoms >75% of the time

Normal Requires vascular, neurologic, hormonal, and psychological systems

Sexual competency - libido, erection, ejaculation and orgasm

ROS-Rapidity of onset
local trauma
Nocturnal or early morning erection
interpersonal conflict
PMH
Risk Factors
Cigarette smoking
Diabetes mellitus
Hypertension
Underlying cardiovascular disease
Hypogonadism 
Substance abuse
Obesity
Depression
18
Q

Erectile Dysfunction:Physical Examination

A
CV, Neuro, GU exam
PV- pulses,  bruits
Breast: gynecomastia L
Abdomen: ascites
GU:  penile lesions, testicular atrophy, asymmetry or masses
Endocrine-
Acanthosis nigricans-DM, central obesity
Visual field defects if pituitary tumor
19
Q

Erectile Dysfunction:Treatment

A

Lifestyle modifications to reduce risk factors
Restore the capacity to acquire and sustain penile erection
Reactivation of libido
Medication

Penile self-injections
Vacuum erection devices
Penile prostheses

Medications
1st Phophodiesterase-5 inhibitors
Increase intracavernosal cyclic GMP levels to restore erectile function (vasoactive)
**caution in any patient with CV disease
**Contraindicated in patients taking nitrates and α-adrenergic antagonists (hypotension)

Psychogenic- SSRI’s

20
Q

Hypogonadism

A

Decrease in sperm and/or testosterone production
Primary: dz of testes
Secondary: dz. of pituitary or hypothalamus

S/S-dec. energy and libido, loss of body hair and muscle mass, infertility, gynecomastia, hot flashes, dec. bone density
obesity
aging;

Diagnosis: serum total testosterone
If low, repeat and order LH
Infertility eval: order semen analysis; if sperm count low, order FSH

Primary: testosterone and/or sperm count low, LH and/or FSH high

Secondary: testosterone and/or sperm count low, LH and/or FSH normal or low

Refer

21
Q

Hypogonadism Treatment i

A

androgen replacement therapy
Check PSA in men >50 yrs, Hct

Contraindications: prostate ca, severe OSA, Hct >50%, severe LUTS, uncontrolled CHF

ADE: inc PSA, worse BPH, erythrocytosis, worse OSA

FU: at 2-3 mos, then q 6-12 mo: Serum testosterone, serum LH if primary hypogonadism, Hct, PSA

22
Q

Varicocele

A

Collection of dilated and tortuous veins in the pampiniform plexus surrounding the spermatic cord
d/t increased venous pressure and incompetent valves

10-25% adolescents
L side

S/S- dull ache or fullness in scrotum on standing
“bag of worms” that increases with Valsalva or standing
Grade 1: small; palpable only with Valsalva
Grade 2: moderate; not visible on inspection, but palpable upon standing
Grade 3: large; visible on gross inspection

23
Q

Varicocele: Management

A

observation
Abnormal: if right sided, acute onset, or persist when supine
-Order Doppler US
- IVC obstruction (IVC thrombus, right renal vein thrombosis, abdominal mass)

Surgery:
Cosmetic
Pain
Infertility
Testicular Atrophy
Surgical ligation or testicular vein embolization
smaller than unaffected side
Bil
Grade 3
Scrotal pain is present
24
Q

Hydrocele

A

Fluid accumulation in the potential space of the tunica vaginalis d/t:
Peds: processus vaginalis not close
Adult: epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, torsion of the appendix testis, tumor, or trauma

S/S
Soft, cystic, anterior scrotal mass
Communicating-increase during day disappear at night
Non communicating-do not change with straining
transilluminates to indicate fluid

TX-Treat underlying cause
Non-communicating- < 2 y is supportive care
Communicating risk for incarcerated inguinal hernia

Surgical repair child-> 2 y or if scrotum tense to improve blood flow to testicles
