    Study Notes

    Renal Calculi in Pregnancy

    • Right flank pain is a common symptom in pregnant patients with renal stones.
    • Struvite stones are infectious in nature; they can evolve into staghorn stones due to urea-splitting bacteria.
    • The least likely urease-producing organism must be identified in differential diagnosis.

    Calcium Oxalate Stones

    • Dietary advice given to first-time calcium oxalate stone formers should be based on their serum calcium and urine collection results.
    • Emphasis on restricting oxalate-rich foods is crucial.

    Ureteric Colic Management

    • Analgesia is vital for patients with acute ureteric colic; rectal NSAID administration is beneficial, especially in patients with vomiting.

    Treatment of Renal Pelvic Stones

    • Size of renal pelvic stones (1.5 cm in this case) plays a significant role in determining treatment approaches.
    • The ammonium chloride acidification test can indicate renal tubular acidosis if urinary pH is >5.5.

    Imaging and Diagnosis of Ureteric Stones

    • Non-contrasted CT scans provide key insights into ureteric stones, including size and location.
    • The underlying stone composition can pivot on the patient's health history, particularly in patients with gout and diabetes.

    Penile Pain and Emergencies

    • Rapid onset of penile pain during coitus may indicate severe complications, such as hematoma.
    • Surgical exploration is necessary to address significant injuries, often revealing blood clots or ruptured structures during hematoma evacuation.

    Management of Scrotal Pain

    • Sudden scrotal pain with tender presentation may require further investigation, especially with a history of multiple sexual partners.
    • The next step in management typically involves physical examination and possible imaging studies or surgical intervention.

    Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

    • Patients with erectile dysfunction may benefit from PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra), which enhance blood flow via inhibition of phosphodiesterase.
    • Counseling on lifestyle changes such as weight loss, smoking cessation, and glucose control can improve overall outcomes.

    Clinical Presentation of Breast Cancer Patients

    • Vigilance is necessary when assessing sudden severe symptoms in chemotherapy patients due to possible complications from cancer treatment.
