  • Prostatitis Explained Prostatitis
    Prostate information Prostatitis Explained Prostatitis Prostatitis (prost-a-ty-tus) is the most common prostate problem for men under 50, but it can affect men of all ages. In fact, almost 1 out of 2 men between 18 and 50 may have at least one bout of prostatitis in their lifetime. Prostatitis is often described as an infection of the prostate but it can also mean that the prostate is inflammed or irritated. If you have prostatitis, you may have a burning feeling when passing urine, pass urine more often, be in a lot of pain, have a fever and chills and feel very tired. Once your doctor has diagnosed your symptoms as prostatitis, then the outlook tends to be good. There are many treatments available and your doctor will work with you to find the treatment(s) most suitable for you depending on the type of prostatitis you have. So, it may take slightly longer for some men to see an improvement in their symptoms. However, even when you feel your symptoms are starting to improve you should still continue with your treatment or medication. It may be reassuring to know that prostatitis is neither connected with cancer nor does it mean there is an increased risk of developing prostate cancer in the future, but it can cause worrying symptoms.

ABSTRACT Colonoscopy is a common procedure for diagnosing a wide range of conditions and symptoms affecting the large bowel. Research has shown that the examination itself may induce transient bacterial infections. Specifically acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) has little mention in medical literature as a recognized complication of this procedure. Here we discuss a 37 year old male presenting with symptoms suggesting lower urinary tract infection after having undergone colonoscopy followed by recurrent episodic haematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Physicians and endoscopists should be aware of the risk of acute bacterial prostatitis as a potential complication of colonoscopy in order to minimize misdiagnosis as well as the complications associated with the delayed treatment of it. In addition male patients and the immunocompromised should be fully counselled regarding this risk prior to undertaking this procedure.

  • Chronic Prostatitis: a Possible Cause of Hematospermia
    pISSN: 2287-4208 / eISSN: 2287-4690 World J Mens Health 2015 August 33(2): 103-108 http://dx.doi.org/10.5534/wjmh.2015.33.2.103 Original Article Chronic Prostatitis: A Possible Cause of Hematospermia Gilho Lee Department of Urology, Dankook University Medical College, Cheonan, Korea Purpose: While hematospermia is mainly caused by genitourinary inflammatory disorders, very few studies have been published on prostatitis-associated hematospermia (PAH) diagnosed using robust prostatitis evaluation methods. Therefore, we have evaluated the incidence of PAH by using systematic methods for evaluating prostatitis. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 37 hematospermia patients from a single hospital over the last five years. We classified the patients into PAH versus hematospermia without any evidence of prostatitis (HWP) by using a NIH-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index questionnaire and expressed prostatic secretion studies. Results: The mean age was 55.89±14.87 years, and the patients were grouped into two groups: one group had 12 HWP patients and the other 25 PAH patients. PAH patients were further sub-classified: chronic bacterial prostatitis (3 patients), chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (10 patients), prostadynia (7 patients), and asymptomatic prostatitis (5 patients). We found Enterococcus faecalis in the three chronic bacterial prostatitis patients. We could not find any statistically significant difference between the PAH and the HWP groups in terms of the age interval, serum prostate-specific antigen level, and prostate volume. Even though there was no statistically significant difference in the items about urination between the two groups, we found a statistically significant difference in the quality of life (QoL) impact for the patients in this study.

  • Sexual Health Information for Gay & Bisexual
    Sexual Health Information for Gay & Bisexual Men When we talk about sexual health, we often focus on HIV and other STIs, but there are a number of other illness and issues that can affect men’s sexual health. These can include erectile dysfunction (finding it difficult to get or keep an erection), testicular problems, anal pain and discomfort and other infections affecting the genital or anal area. Balanitis Balanitis is a condition where the end of the penis (or the glans) becomes inflamed, leading to redness, irritation and soreness. Men who experience this can sometimes mistake this for symptoms of an STI. Possible causes of balanitis are: a build up of yeast infection, urine, sweat or other debris under the foreskin an allergic reaction to some soaps, washing powders or cleansing products an allergic reaction to condoms phimosis – a condition where the foreskin is tight and does not pull back over the glans another sexually transmitted infection Treatments depend on the cause of balanitis, but could include: an anti-yeast cream or tablets (e.g.canesten) a steroid cream to reduce inflammation advising the use of non-latex condoms circumcision (if the man has phimosis) regular washing of the glans with water and a bland soap treatments for any STIs present Testicular Cancer This is the most common form of cancer affecting young men between the ages of 15 and 40. Men with an un- descended or partially descended testicle (one or both testicles don’t come down into the scrotum) are more likely to develop testicular cancer as do men with a family history of this cancer.

  • Urinary Retention in Adults: Diagnosis and Initial Management Brian A
    Urinary Retention in Adults: Diagnosis and Initial Management BRIAN a. SELIUS, DO, and rAJESH SUBEDI, MD, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, Ohio Urinary retention is the inability to voluntarily void urine. This condition can be acute or chronic. Causes of urinary retention are numerous and can be classified as obstructive, infectious and inflammatory, pharmacologic, neuro- logic, or other. The most common cause of urinary retention is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Other common causes include prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, and vulvovaginitis; receiving medications in the anticholinergic and alpha- adrenergic agonist classes; and cortical, spinal, or peripheral nerve lesions. Obstructive causes in women often involve the pelvic organs. A thorough history, physical examination, and selected diagnostic testing should determine the cause of urinary retention in most cases. Initial management includes bladder catheterization with prompt and com- plete decompression. Men with acute urinary retention from benign prostatic hyperplasia have an increased chance of returning to normal voiding if alpha blockers are started at the time of catheter insertion. Suprapubic catheteriza- tion may be superior to urethral catheterization for short-term management and silver alloy-impregnated urethral catheters have been shown to reduce urinary tract infection. Patients with chronic urinary retention from neurogenic bladder should be able to manage their condition with clean, intermittent self-catheterization; low-friction catheters have shown benefit in these patients. Definitive management of urinary retention will depend on the etiology and may include surgical and medical treatments. (Am Fam Physician. 2008;77(5):643-650.
