| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Male sex hormones (Androgens) | Testosterone |
| Erectile Dysfunction | Inability to attain and maintain an erection (great variations), May or may not effect libido |
| Risk Factors for ED | Age-related changes in anatomy (Collagen, Elasticity) and Chronic Illnesses (Diabetes, Kidney disease, Vascular disease, Smoking, Medications) |
| ED Medications | Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, Injectables, Hormone Replacements |
| Sildenafil citrate (Viagra), vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra) | 1/day, No more than 1 hr before sex |
| Tadalafil (Cialis) | 36 hour |
| Contraindications of Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis | Nitrates, Alpha blockers, certain antibiotics or antifungals can cause issues with meds, Persons at risk for priapism (sustained, painful erection) |
| ED Injectables | Papaverine and Prostaglandin E (Urethra gel), Alprostadil (Caverject)(Suppository), Relaxes smooth muscles, allows engorge, 30 min to 4 hours |

| Treatment of Penile Cancer | Flourouracil cream, Radiation, Laser therapy, Surgical removal (penectomy) (Urinate sitting), Chemo if metastasis |
| 3 types of Benign Scrotal Masses | Hydrocele, Spermatocele, Varicele |
| Hydrocele | fluid filled mass in the scrotum, Usually from trauma or tumor, If it becomes painful or too large it can be drained |
| Spermatocele | Cystic mass on epididymis. Typically mobile and painless. Caused by trauma or infection. No treatment necessary. |
| Varicele | Dilation of spermatic cord vein. Usually on the left side. Causes decreased blood flow to the testes. Worry about infertility. If it is small may only intervene with scrotal support. Support with briefs, jock strap, or even pillow. |
| Epidiymitis | Infection or inflammation of epididymis. Sexually-active men <35. Usually r/t STI (that has travelled up to epididymis). May be related to unprotected anal sex. In men >35: associated /c UTI or prostatitis, Chemical epidiymitis r/t reflux of urine. |

| Orchitis Manifestations | High fever, > WBC’s, Unilateral or bilateral scrotal redness, swelling, and pain, If both testes involved sterility may result. |
| Treatment for Orchitis | Antibiotic therapy based on urine culture. Bed rest, scrotal support and elevation. Hot or cold compresses. Analgesics for pain. |
| Testicular torsion | Medical emergency! Twisting of the spermatic cord with scrotal swelling and pain (Usually found with ultrasound). Decreased or absent testicular circulation with vascular engorgement and ischemia (death). Less common after 20. |
| Treatment for Testicular Torsion | Determined by history and physical exam. Scanning to determine blood flow pattern. Surgical detorsion. Orchiectomy (removal of testicle). |
| Testicular Cancer | Most common in men ages 15-40. Improved outcomes with newer therapies. Cause unknown: Some congenital component (Exposures when infant), Cryptorchidism (undescended testicals). Affects white/American men 5 times more than others. |

| Invasive Treatment for BPH | Transurethral microwave thermotherapy and Transurethral needle ablation: heat kills some prostate, <s/s. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): Clean out prostate. Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP): 0 tissue removed, <pressure. |
| Other Invasive Treatment for BPH | Laser. Stent. Complementary therapies to treat symptoms. Open prostatectomy (not done often, may cause erectile problems) |
| Urinary retention BPH care | Double voiding. Avoid OTC decongestants they increase urinary retention. Increase fluids over the day not all at one time. No liquids that stimulate voiding (coffee/alcohol). |
