Interstitial cystitis*/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is one of several conditions that causes bladder pain and a need to urinate frequently and urgently. Some doctors have started using the term bladder pain syndrome (BPS) to describe this condition. Your bladder is a balloon-shaped organ where your body holds urine. When you have a bladder problem, you may notice certain signs or symptoms. *See page 16 for tips on how to say the words in bold type. 1 What are the signs of a bladder problem? Signs of bladder problems include ● Urgency. The feeling that you need to go right now! Urgency is normal if you haven’t been near a bathroom for a few hours or if you have been drinking a lot of fluids.

  • Effectiveness of Ureteric Reimplantation on Non-Refluxing Obstructive
    EFFECTIVENESS OF URETERIC REIMPLANTATION ON NON-REFLUXING OBSTRUCTIVE CONGENITAL MEGAURETER SHAFIQUR RAHMAN1, MOHAMMAD ABDUL AZIZ1, MM HASAN1, NURUN NAHAR HAPPY2, TASNEEM MAHJABEEN3 1Department of Urology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, 2Department of Plastic Surgery and 100 Bed Burn Unit, DMC & H, Dhaka, 3Department of Dermatology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka Abstract: Background: One in ten thousand children born with megaureter. A significant portion of this groups are of obstructed variety and the rest are refluxing ureter. It can cause obstructions and back pressure renal damage. Early diagnosis and treatment can stop deterioration of renal function and prevent complications like renal failure. Definitive treatment is uretero-neocystostomy with or without tailoring the ureter. Objective: Objective of this study was to observe the effectiveness of ureteric reimplantation on non-refluxing obstructive congenital megaureter. To achieve this objective we had observed serum creatinine level pre and postoperatively and assessed structural changes in kidney by ultrasonogram, IVU, MCU and RGP pre and postoperatively. We also observed the split renal function and split GFR of the affected kidney both pre and post operatively. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study. This study comprise of 35 cases of congenital non-refluxing obstructed megaureter, who were admitted in BIRDEM General Hospital and multiple other hospitals in Dhaka city from July 2013 to December 2014. Diagnosis was made by intravenous urography (IVU) reveling a dilated lower third or entire ureter with narrow tapering lower end. Obstruction was also confirmed by diuretic Tc99m DTPA scan. A voiding cystourethrogram was obtained to exclude VUR. Those with poor renal function were evaluated by ultrasonography, DTPA scan and retrograde ureteropyelography.

  • Overactive Bladder: What You Need to Know Whiteboard Animation Transcript with Shawna Johnston, MD and Emily Stern, MD
    Obstetrics and Gynecology – Overactive Bladder: What You Need to Know Whiteboard Animation Transcript with Shawna Johnston, MD and Emily Stern, MD Overactive bladder (OAB) is a symptom-based disease state, which includes urinary frequency, nocturia, and urgency, with or without urgency incontinence. Symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) are similar but additionally include dysuria (painful voiding) and hematuria. OAB tends to be a chronic progressive condition, while UTI symptoms are acute and may be associated with fever and malaise. In patients whose symptoms are unclear, urinalysis and urine culture may help rule out infection. If symptoms point to OAB, you should rule out: 1. Neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, parkinson’s disease, and stroke. 2. Medical disorders such as diabetes, and 3. Prolapse, as women with obstructed voiding, usually from advanced prolapse, can have symptoms that mimic those of OAB. It is important to delineate how OAB symptoms affect a patient’s quality of life. Women with OAB are often socially isolated and sleep poorly. On history, pay attention to lifestyle factors such as caffeine and fluid intake, environmental triggers, and medications that may worsen symptoms like diuretics. Cognitive impairment and diabetes can influence OAB symptoms. Estrogen deficiency worsens OAB symptoms, so menopausal status and hormone use are important to note. Physical exam includes a screening sacral neurologic exam, an assessment for pelvic organ prolapse and a cough stress test to rule out stress urinary incontinence. On pelvic exam, look for signs of estrogen deficiency. Investigations include urinalysis, urine culture, and a post-void residual volume measurement.

    Review Special Issue: Penile Anomalies in Children TheScientificWorldJOURNAL (2011) 11, 614–623 TSW Urology ISSN 1537-744X; DOI 10.1100/tsw.2011.38 Penile Anomalies in Adolescence Dan Wood* and Christopher Woodhouse Adolescent Urology Department, University College London Hospitals E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received August 13, 2010; Revised January 9, 2011; Accepted January 11, 2011; Published March 7, 2011 This article considers the impact and outcomes of both treatment and underlying condition of penile anomalies in adolescent males. Major congenital anomalies (such as exstrophy/epispadias) are discussed, including the psychological outcomes, common problems (such as corporal asymmetry, chordee, and scarring) in this group, and surgical assessment for potential surgical candidates. The emergence of new surgical techniques continues to improve outcomes and potentially raises patient expectations. The importance of balanced discussion in conditions such as micropenis, including multidisciplinary support for patients, is important in order to achieve appropriate treatment decisions. Topical treatments may be of value, but in extreme cases, phalloplasty is a valuable option for patients to consider. In buried penis, the importance of careful assessment and, for the majority, a delay in surgery until puberty has completed is emphasised. In hypospadias patients, the variety of surgical procedures has complicated assessment of outcomes. It appears that true surgical success may be difficult to measure as many men who have had earlier operations are not reassessed in either puberty or adult life. There is also a brief discussion of acquired penile anomalies, including causation and treatment of lymphoedema, penile fracture/trauma, and priapism.

Sabine Zundel, Sameh Shehata, Holger Till, Yuri Kozlov, Philipp Szavay, Eduardo Perez (S26) PNEUMOVESICOSCOPIC CORRECTION OF PRIMARY VESICOURETERAL REFLUX (VUR) IN CHILDREN. - OUR INITIAL EXPERIENCE- A. M. Benaired, Pediatric, Surgeon; H Zahaf, Pediatric, Surgeon; Military Central Hospital Purpose: Vesicoureteral reflux is a common urological abnormality predisposing risk of childhood hypertension and chronic renal failure. It is called primitive when it is due to an abnormality of the vesicoureteral junction. Different treatment approaches have been proposed a long time. Two main trends can be identified, conservative and operative approach. The main objective of our prospective study is to demonstrate the feasibility of vesicoscopic crosstrigonal ureteral reimplantation under CO2 pneumovesicum in treatment on primary vesicoureteral reflux and analyze results of this approach. Methods: A total of 60 patients underwent transvesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation (33 boys, 27 girls) by the same surgeon from Mai 2011 to Mai 2015. All patients had primary vesicoureteral reflux, and surgery was performed because of breakthrough urinary tract infection despite antibiotic prophylaxis, persistent high grade of vesicoureteral reflux especially in association with significant renal scarring, mean age at operation was 47.47 month (5 month - 12 years). Of the 60 patients, 34 had bilateral reflux and 26 had unilateral reflux. The reflux grade in the total of 94 ureters was grade IV, V in 59.57%, grade III in 35.11% and grade II in 5.32% in association with contralateral high grade vesicoureteral reflux. Our surgical methods followed those reported by Valla et al. Results: The transvesicoscopic procedure was successfully completed in all patients without perioperative complication except one case of pneumoperitoneum that required exsufflation by open laparoscopy.
