male reproductive problems

increase in the number of cells

increased volume of residual urine, the urine leaks around the enlarged prostate causing dribbling

a gradual dilation of the ureters

dilation of the kidney

the result of aging and the influence of androgens that are present in the prostate tissue, such as dihydrotestosterone

attracts cytokines and other substances

inflammation and possible infection of the prostate

the effect of the patients urinary system on the quality of life

lower urinary tract symptoms

• -urinalysis
• -culture
• -cbc-systemic infection or anemia
• -bun
• -psa-prostate specific antigen and serum acid phospatase level

transabdominal ultrasound and transrectal ultrasound

proscar and dutasteride(avodart)

most commong-finastride and doxazosin

low radio frequency energy shrinks the prostate

high temperatures heat and destroy excess tissue

laser energy coagulates excess tissue

high frequency electrical current cuts and vaporizes excess tissue

placed in the urethra to maintain permanent patency after a procedure for destroying or removing prostatic tissue

Turp- transurethral resection of the prostate

when the enlarged portion of the prostate is removed through an endoscope instrument

the enlarged portion of the prostate gland is then removed in small pieces (prostate chips)

entire prostate removal

small cuts are made into the prostate to relieve pressure on the urethra

• turp-several days
• holep-over night

most of the semen flows backwards into the bladder so only a small amount will be ejaculated from the penis

prostate

patients with pin  (prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia)

no it is slow and progresses in a predictable manner

• prostate specific antigen is a glycoprotein produced by the prostate. used to screen for prostate cancer.
• normal=less than 2.5

removal of both testicles

rectal mucosa inflammation

impotence

inability to achieve or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse

swelling

monthly

• rare
• 20-54 yo

germ cell=arising from sperm producing cells

non=arising from the stoma, interstitial or leydig cells that produce testosterone

undescended testes

• alpha feta protein
• beta human chorionic gonadotropin
• lactate dehydrogenase

low sperm count

absence of living sperm

removal of the affected testi

cystic mass, straw colored fluid that forms around the testis because of impaired lymphatic drainage of the scrotum causing swelling of the tissue surrounding the testis

no treatment necessary if it is not hurting anything

sperm containing cyst that develops on the epididymis alongside the testicle

cluster of dilated veins behind and above the testis

scrotum feels worm like

can cause infertility

surgical removal of the varicocele

partial or total removal of the penis

uncontolled long maintained erection without sexual desire

affects the 2 corpora cavernosa

circulation to the penis may be compromised

inflammation of the prostate gland

pelvic floor pain

• cystitis-inflammation of the bladder
• epididymitis-inflammation of the epididymus

staph or e coli

chlamydia

removal of both testes

excision of the epididymus from the testicle

acute testicular inflammation resulting from trauma or infection

at risk for sterility
