UROLOGICAL DISEASES IN MIDDLE AGED MEN AND WOMEN Dr. BIOKU Muftau
OUTLINE • INTRODUCTION • CLASSIFICATION OF UROLOGICAL DISEASES • COMMON UROLOGICAL DISEASES IN MIDDLE AGED MALES AND FEMALES
INTRODUCTION • Urological dxs are pathological conditions of male genitourinary tract and female urinary tract. • Account for about 1/3rd of all surgical admissions • Many of the cases are not life threatening • MIDDLE AGE : 45 – 65 YEARS
CLASSIFICATIONS • URODYNAMIC • ONCOLOGIC • STONES • RECONSTRUCTIVE • ANDROLOGIC
CONT’D URODYNAMIC ONCOLOGIC PROSTATE CANCER BLADDER TUMOUR RENAL TESTICULAR PENILE • BPH • NEUROGENIC DBLADDER • URINARY INCONTINENCE
CONT’D STONE DISEASES ANDROLOGIC ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION MALE INFERTILITY INTERSEX DISORDER • KIDNEYS • RENAL PELVIS • URETER • KIDNEYS • BLADDER • URETHRAL
CONT’D CONGENITAL DXS OTHERS UTI EPIDIDYMO-ORCHITIS URETHRAL STRICTURE PENILE FRACTURE • PUJ OBSTRUCTION • POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY • RENAL AGENESIS
URINARY TRACT INFECTION • Inflammatory response of urothelium to bacterial invasion CLASSIFICATIONS • Urethritis • Prostatitis -Complicated UTI • Cystitis -Uncomplicated UTI • pyelonephritis
Risk Factors 1. Aging • a. Increased incidence of diabetes mellitus • b. Increased risk of urinary stasis • c. Impaired immune response • Females: short urethra, having sexual intercourse, use of contraceptives that alter normal bacteria flora of vagina and perineal tissues; with age increased incidence of cystocele, rectocele (incomplete emptying) • Males: prostatic hypertrophy, bacterial prostatitis, anal intercourse 4. Urinary tract obstruction: tumor or calculi, strictures
Cystitis - Most common UTI General manifestations of cystitis a. Dysuria b. Frequency and urgency c. Nocturia d. Urine has foul odor, cloudy (pyuria), bloody (hematuria) e. Suprapubic pain and tenderness
Pyelonephritis 1. Inflammation of renal pelvis and parenchyma (functional kidney tissue) Results from an infection that ascends to kidney from lower urinary tract
Manifestations Rapid onset with chills and fever Malaise Vomiting Flank pain Costovertebral tenderness Urinary frequency, dysuria
d. Urine culture and sensitivity e. WBC with differential: leukocytosis and increased number of neutraphils Diagnostic Tests for adults who have recurrent infections or persistent bacteriuria a. Intravenous pyelography (IVP) or excretory urography
b. Voiding cystourethrography c. Cystoscopy d. Manual pelvic or prostate examinations to assess structural changes of genitourinary tract, such as prostatic enlargement, cystocele, rectocele
TREATMENT • Antibiotics used are; Beta lactams Tetracyclines Co- trimoxazole Quinolones Aminoglycosides NitrofurantoinPhenazopyridine • SURGERY :to correct anatomic abnormality
Preventive measures • Good personal hygiene. • Drinking plenty of fluids (water). • Emptying the bladder as soon as urge is felt • Vitamin C makes the urine acidic
Anatomy PROSTATE
EPIDEMIOLOGY EXCLUSIVELY A MALE PHENOMENON MOST COMMON BENIGN TUMOUR IN MEN MOST COMMON DISEASE OF THE PROSTATE (80%) INCIDENCE IS 1 IN EVERY 10 MEN, AFTER AGE 50 YRS (i.e. AGE-RELATED INCIDENCE) PREVALENCE OF SYMPTOMATIC BPH @ AGE 55YRS = 25% @ AGE 75YRS = 50%
RISK FACTORS Poorly understood; includes : AGING POSITIVE FAMILIAL & GENETIC FACTORS 50% of men < 60yrs undergoing surgery for BPH, have a heritable form of disease Most likely an autosomal dominant trait First-degree relatives of such pxs carry an increased relative risk of ~ 4-fold
AETIOLOGY NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD APPEARS TO BE MULTIFACTORIAL & ENDOCRINE-CONTROLLED PROSTATE COMPOSED OF BOTH STROMAL & EPITHELIAL ELEMENTS HISTOLOGIC & SYMPTOMATIC BPH CAN ARISE FROM EITHER ELEMENT : Singly, or in Combination
CONTD. • THE DIFFERENTIAL REPRESENTATION OF THE HISTOLOGIC TYPES IN BPH, EXPLAINS IN PART, THE POTENTIAL FOR RESPONSIVENESS TO DIFFERENT MEDICAL THERAPIES • Smooth muscle predominance = α1a – blockers sensitive • Epithelial cell predominance = 5-αreductase inhibitors sensitive • Mixed smooth muscle & epithelial cell predominance = Combination of above two (2) drugs effective • Fibrous tissue/Collagen predominance = No drug effective; an indication for surgery
AETIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS PRESENCE OF FUNCTIONING TESTES Castration results in regression of established BPH & improvement in urinary symptoms Rare occurrence in eunuchs NORMAL ANDROGEN LEVELS INCREASE IN 5-α REDUCTASE ACTIVITY FREE TESTOSTERONE/OESTROGEN IMBALANCE May explain association b/w BPH & aging Suggests that increased oestrogen levels with aging causes induction of androgen receptor Thereby sensitizing prostate to free testosterone No demonstrable elevated oestrogen receptor levels in human BPH
FILLING Frequency & volume Urgency Nocturia Dysuria The Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) VOIDING Hesitancy Weak stream Intermittency Terminal dribbling Feeling of incomplete emptying
BPH and its treatments can provoke sexual dysfunction BPH BPH treatments LUTS Sexual dysfunction
The physical examination 1. Abdominal examination rule out other possible urinary or rectal conditions 2. Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) fundamental method for assessing the shape and the volume of the prostate
Standard examination for the detection of: - Haematuria, - Proteinuria, - Pyuria. Urinalysis
The I-PSS is based on the answers to 7 questions concerning urinary symptoms. Each question is assigned points from 0 to 5 indicating increasing severity. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic). Mild 0-7 Moderate 8-19 Severe 20-35 The I-PSS - symptom assessment
