    BPH Pathophysiology

    Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) happens in men over 60 due to hormonal changes. Decreased testosterone leads to a higher estrogen-to-testosterone ratio. Estrogen increases androgen receptor activity in the prostate's median lobe, causing cell proliferation.

    BPH Treatment (Finasteride)

    Finasteride is a drug that treats BPH by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, reducing prostate cell growth.

    BPH Voiding Symptoms

    Voiding symptoms of BPH include hesitancy (trouble starting urination), dribbling, and retention (unable to empty bladder completely).

    BPH Storage Symptoms

    Storage symptoms of BPH include nocturia (frequent nighttime urination), urgency (sudden need to urinate), and frequency (urination often).

    Gleason Score

    The Gleason score is a grading system used to assess the aggressiveness of prostate adenocarcinoma cells. It examines the microscopic appearance of the tumor and assigns a score based on how much the cells resemble normal prostate cells. Grade 1 cells are well-differentiated, while grade 5 cells are poorly differentiated.

    Study Notes

    Benign and Malignant Diseases of the Male Reproductive System

    • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) primarily affects men aged 60 and above
    • Hormonal imbalance, specifically an increase in the estrogen-to-testosterone ratio, contributes to the development of BPH
    • As testosterone converts to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5α-reductase, this increase in DHT stimulates the proliferation of glandular and stromal cells in the prostate, leading to median lobe enlargement
    • The enlarged median lobe compresses the urethra, causing bladder outlet obstruction
    • Symptoms often include nocturia, urinary retention, dribbling, and urgency
    • Finasteride is a common treatment for BPH, inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT
    • Patients may experience voiding symptoms (hesitancy, dribbling, retention) and storage symptoms (urgency, nocturia, frequency)
    • Common complications of BPH include urethral obstruction and bladder atony

    Prostate Adenocarcinoma

    • Prostate adenocarcinoma originates from the glandular epithelium
    • It disrupts the prostate architecture through abnormal gland formation within existing glands
    • Manifestations often include large nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and loss of basal cells
    • Potential metastasis leads to bone involvement, resulting in osteoblast or osteoclast activity
    • Diagnosis methods such as digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, and MRI are employed

    Testicular Tumors

    • Testicular tumors encompass germ cell and non-germ cell types
    • Germ cell tumors include seminoma, spermatocytic carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, and embryonal carcinoma
    • Non-germ cell tumors include Leydig cell and Sertoli cell tumors
    • Seminoma tumors do not secrete any tumor markers, and treatment is typically possible even in malignant cases

    Diseases of Vulva, Vagina, and Cervix

    • Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a neoplasm of the vulva
    • This disease, potentially caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11, can manifest as anogenital warts
    • This isn't typically considered malignant, but early detection is necessary
    • Vaginitis is often caused by Gardnerella vaginalis

    Diseases of the Uterus

    • Leiomyoma, or uterine fibroids, are benign tumors arising from the smooth muscle layer of the myometrium
    • Risk factors may include genetics, oral contraceptives, and estrogen
    • Symptoms may be asymptomatic, or include menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, or possibly both

    Endometriosis

    • Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity
    • Potential causes include implantation theory, coelomic metaplasia theory, and chemical substance induction
    • Common symptoms include period pain (dysmenorrhea), painful intercourse (dyspareunia), excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), and chronic pelvic pain

    Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD)

    • GTD comprises conditions with abnormal trophoblastic tissue development
    • Two main types are hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma.
    • Hydatiform mole exhibits grape-like, fluid-filled villi
    • Possible complications include choriocarcinoma

    Diseases of the Fallopian Tubes and Ovaries

    • Ovarian cysts, including luteal, corpus luteum, follicular, and polycystic, are potential conditions
    • Risk factors of polycystic ovarian disease include obesity, hirsutism, anovulation, and oligomenorrhea

    Diseases of the Breast

    • Fibrocystic disease of the breast is a benign condition characterized by the formation of lumps, nipple discharge, calcification, apocrine metaplasia, and fibrosis
    • Ductal carcinoma in situ involves malignant cells within the ducts of the breast but does not penetrate the basement membrane; invasive ductal carcinoma involves malignant cells that breach the basement membrane. Malignant breast diseases can metastasize, leading to more serious health concerns.
