Question
Answer
BPH sxs   Obstructive: hesitancy, decreased force of stream, incomplete voiding, straining, dribbling; irritative: urgency, frequency, nocturia  
🗑
ED   50% of 40-70 yo; usually organic (vs psych); poss CV/DM/ meds

🗑
Epididymitis: Sx/Sx   Gradual onset. Scrotal pain radiating via spermatic cord to flank. Firm tender scrotal mass. Possible prostate TTP. Fever, high WBC  
🗑
Prostatitis: bacterial vs nonbacterial   nonbac: no h/o UTI or pos cx; consider bladder ca in older men: do cytology & cystoscopy  
🗑
Urethritis: DDx   UTI, candida, noninfxs urethritis (FBO), stones, Reiter, chronic prostatitis  
🗑
Prostatitis bugs   GNR (E coli & Pseudomonas) & GPC (enterococci, seen in chronic dz). Younger men also GC/CT & Trichomonas  
🗑
BPH etiology   Androgen, estrogen, stromal GF dysregulation, decreased cell death, increased stem cells, genetics  
🗑
BPH obstructive sxs:   decreased force of urinary stream, hesitancy, postvoid dribbling, incomplete voiding  
🗑
BPH irritative sxs:   frequency, urgency, nocturia  
🗑
Prostate cancer prevalence by site:   95% adenocarcinoma. Peripheral zone > transition zone (periurethral area: removed by TURP) > central zone (urethra + ejac ducts)  
🗑
bladder cancer risk factors   tobacco (esp transitional cell ca), indust chem exp; schistosomiasis; cyclophosphamide  
🗑
bladder cancer: most common presenting sx   painless hematuria; also bladder irritability & infxn  
🗑
testicular cancer prevalence by type   Most common solid tumor in young males. Risk 1 in 500. Seminoma (35%); nonseminoma (65%): mixed > embryonal > teratoma > choriocarcinoma.  
🗑
entrapment of foreskin behind glans penis =   paraphimosis; poss 2/2 frequent caths  
🗑
Predictors of ED:   HTN, DM, HLD, CVD  
🗑
Hydrocele is usually 2/2:   fluid filled congenital remnants of tunica vaginalis (2/2 patent processus vaginalis)  
🗑
spermatocele =   Painless cystic mass containing sperm, usually <1 cm. Superior & posterior to testes. Aspirate: white cloudy fluid  
🗑
Varicocele =   venous varicocity within spermatic vein (pampiniform plexus); L vein > R vein (bc longer)  
🗑
Varicocele sx/sx   chronic nontender mass, does not transilluminate; bag of worms, enlarges w/Valsalva, diminishes w/elevation  
🗑
TRUS not accurate in:   determining local tumor extension  
🗑
Male infertility: most common etiologies   varicocele (37%); idiopathic (25%)  
🗑
Male factors contribute what percent to infertility cases?   40%  
🗑
BPH vs prostate cancer: findings   BPH: firm smooth enlarged prostate, normal PSA; cancer: firm, irregular, nodular non-tender prostate, elevated PSA  
🗑
Fibrous band on lateral penis   Peyronie disease  
🗑
Inability to retract foreskin; erythema, TTP, poss purulence   Phimosis  
🗑
Inflammation of glans   Balanitis  
🗑
<40 yo male with high fever/chills, perineal pain, dysuria, freq/urgency, prostate swollen/TTP   Acute prostatitis  
🗑
>50 yo obstructive voiding sx, nocturia. Firm smooth enlarged prostate; Normal PSA   BPH. (Cancer would have firm, irregular, nodular non-tender prostate, elevated PSA)  
🗑
Incontinence with straining   Stress, 2/2 inc intra-abd pressure  
🗑
Prostate cancer risk factors   AA, age, FH, testost; high Gleason: high mets risk (usu to bone); not always high PSA  
🗑
blue dot sign   Testicular appendiceal torsion  
🗑
BPH Pathophysiology   Proliferation of fibrostromal tissue -> urethral compression; develop in periurethral or transitional zone. BPH requires older age and functioning Leydig cells  
🗑
BPH Sx/Sx   AUA sx score (0-35, severe >20), IPSS; LUTS (irritative & obstructive sxs). DRE: firm smoothly enlarged, non-nodular  
🗑
BPH DDx   overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, prostatitis, prostate or bladder ca, UTI, neurogenic bladder, urethral stricture  
🗑
NGU clinical findings   Dysuria, pruritus, scant clear-white discharge  
🗑
GU clinical features   2-7 day incubation. 30-40% coinfxn with CT. Burning w/serous/milky discharge. Dyspareunia.  
🗑
GU sxs of disseminated dz   Fever, rash, tenosynovitis, conjunctivitis, arthritis  
🗑
Irritative voiding symptoms, Fever, chills, CVA tenderness =   Pyelonephritis  
🗑
Pyelonephritis risk factors   Underlying Ur tract abnormalities, stones, DM, immunocomp, elderly F in facility, pyelo episode within past year  
🗑
Testicular tumor clinical features   Firm, nontender mass. Does not transilluminate. Para-aortic LN involvement resembles ureteral obstruction. R testis > left. M 20-35yo; 5% of cryptoorchidism  
🗑
Testicular tumor workup   HCG, a-fetoprotein, LDH
