TURP
(transurethral resection of the prostate) - the removal of excess prostatic tissue
when it becomes enlarged, Irrigation of bladder to a light pink color, no sex for
6 weeks, will dribble for up to 6 months, no NSAIDS, encourage at least 2 liters
of fluid
Tamoxifen
given to prevent breast cancer reoccurrence, lowers estrogen levels, causes early
menopause, nausea, vomiting will be taking for 5 years
gate-control theory
the theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological "gate" that blocks pain
signals or allows them to pass on to the brain. The "gate" is opened by the
activity of pain signals traveling up small nerve fibers and is closed by activity
in larger fibers or by information coming from the brain.
