cystectomy
surgical removal of the bladder
DHT
dihydrotestosterone
increased lvl is what causes an increase in cell growth inside the prostate glad, enlarging it = BPH
CBI
continuous bladder irrigation
DRE
digital rectal examination
PSA
prostate-specific antigen (0-4 normal lvl),
orchiectomy
removal of one or both testes
, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:
BPH = benign growth of cells within the prostate gland that causes enlargement of the prostate. It has a
gradual onset.
risk factors = aging, obesity (especially increased waist circumference), lack of physical activity, a high
intake of red meat and animal fat, alcohol use, ED, smoking, and diabetes. A family history of BPH in a
first-degree relative also may be a risk factor.
BPH Symptoms:
•Obstructive
•↓ in the caliber of urinary stream
•dribbling
•Irritation
•Dysuria
•Urgency
Complications:
•Urinary retention
•UTI/Pyelonephritis/Sepsis
decrease in testosterone & increase in estrogen = increase DHT levels = enlarged prostate
BPH Diagnostic Studies
•Digital rectal exam (DRE)
•Urinalysis with culture
•PSA level (0-4 normal) (prostate-specific antigen)
