Study Notes
Men's Health
- Prostate Screening: Generally involves PSA test and digital rectal exam (DRE). Typically recommended starting at age 50 or earlier if additional risk factors exist. Rarely indicated in young patients without urinary complaints. Older patients with BPH symptoms may require a prostate exam.
- Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer: Higher risk in men over 50, African American men, and those with family history.
- Prostate Cancer Diagnostics: PSA levels, DRE and if needed biopsy.
- Prostate Cancer Referral and Follow-up: Patients with elevated PSA or abnormal DRE results should be referred to a urologist.
- Common Prostate Cancer Symptoms: Urinary difficulty, pain, or erectile dysfunction.
Testicular Cancer
- Screening: Self-exams are essential, especially for men between 15-35.
- Risk Factors for Testicular Cancer: Cryptorchidism, family history, and genetic predispositions.
- Assessment of Testicular Cancer: Presence of a painless lump, swelling, or heaviness in the scrotum.
- Treatment for Testicular Cancer: Surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation.
- Testicular Cancer Referral and Follow-up: Early referral to oncology or urology is crucial for effective treatment.
Cryptorchidism
- Risk Factors for Cryptorchidism: Premature birth, low birth weight, family history, hypospadias, prenatal exposure to endocrine disruptors (e.g., pesticides), maternal smoking or diabetes, high maternal alpha-fetoprotein levels, and Kleinefelter syndrome.
- Assessment Findings for Cryptorchidism: Absence of one or both testes upon palpation of the scrotum, or both testicles in a location other than the scrotum (infant examination: supine, frog-leg or sitting position; older child: supine or sitting upright cross-legged position). Most patients have an inguinal hernia.
