Cards in this deck (9)
- 1BPH Patho Static ComponentProliferation of Glandular Epithelium
(alterations of testosterone, estrogen, DHT) - 2BPH Patho Dynamic componentIncrease in prostatic smooth muscle tone linked to altered activity of PICs
(possibly contributes to increased prostate contractility) - 3BPH Pharmacology Finasteride5Alpha Reductase inhibitor
Blocks conversion of testosterone into DHT
Altered libido / Impotence - 4BPH Pharmacology TamsulosinAlpha1a adrenoceptor antagonist
blocks prostatic smooth muscle receptors :- decreases Ca++ availability
(decreased prostate contractility)
Postural hypotension / GIT - 5BPH diagnostics DRE (digital rectal exam)Physical exam determines the state and size of the external surface of the prostate gland
