Loss of urine from pressure exerted on the bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting something heavy.

Stress Incontinence

Occurs when the sphincter muscle of the bladder is weakened. Contributing factors: pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, cystocele, prostate removal, obesity, and chronic coughing

Stress Incontinence

Often hemorrhage is the first indicator because the ulcer develops rapidly and tends to be masked by the primary problem

Stress ulcer

Develop because of a major physiological stressor on the body due to local tissue ischemia, tissue acidosis, bile salts entering the stomach, and decreased GI motility.

Stress ulcers

Most frequently develop in the stomach; multiple ulcers can form within hours of the precipitating event.

Stress ulcers

Increased renal water retention caused by excessive antidiuretic hormone

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone

Ulcerative infection caused by Treponema pallidum, a spirochete that requires a warm, moist environment to survive. Transmitted from skin or mucous membrane contact with chancres and from the mother to child through the placental barrier. Prevalence rates have remained constant for the last 50 years. Rates are highest in men, men who have sex with men (MSM), African Americans, and those living in District of Columbia.

Syphilis

Abnormal rotation of the testes on the spermatic cord

Testicular Torsion

Causes of?: trauma, but can also occur spontaneously (Reproductive system)

Testicular Torsion

Manifestations of?: sudden scrotal edema and pain

Testicular Torsion

What degree?: cervix and uterus bulge through the vaginal opening.

Third Degree

Also called thyrotoxicosis. A sudden worsening of hyperthyroidism symptoms that may occur with infection or stress. Fever, decreased mental alertness, and abdominal pain may occur. Medical emergency

Thyroid Crisis (Storm)

Causes of?: delirium, infection, atrophic vaginitis, use of certain medications, psychological factors, high urine output, restricted mobility, fecal impaction, alcohol, and caffeine

Transient Incontinence

Urinary incontinence resulting from a temporary condition

Transient Incontinence

HPV is benign?

True

Previously called non-insulin-dependent and adult-onset. In adults, accounts for about 90-95% of all newly diagnosed cases. Usually begins as insulin resistance. The pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes

Risk factors: advancing age, obesity, family history of DM, history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, physical inactivity, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders. Usually managed initially with oral antidiabetic medications that increase insulin production and action. As the condition progresses, supplemental insulin is often necessary as pancreatic production declines.

Type 2 Diabetes

Previously called insulin-dependent and juvenile-onset. Develops when the body's immune system destroys pancreatic beta cells. Must have insulin. Usually strikes children and young adults, although disease onset can occur at any age. Exact cause unknown, but most likely a viral or environmental trigger in genetically susceptible people that causes an autoimmune reaction. Cannot be prevented

Type I Diabetes

A condition in which the urethra, or the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body, becomes inflamed and irritated

Urethritis

Causes of?: Urinary tract infections, bladder irritants, bowel conditions, smoking, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, injury, and nervous system damage.

Urge Incontinence

Sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine

Urge Incontinence

Complications of?: skin problems, recurrent urinary tract infections, negative psychological consequences, and interruption of usual activities

Urinary Incontinence

Loss of urinary control

Urinary Incontinence

Risk factors of?: being female, advancing age, being overweight, smoking, and other diseases

Urinary Incontinence

Causes of?: conditions that stretch or weaken the pelvic support

Uterine Prolapse

Descent of the uterus or cervix into the vagina

Uterine Prolapse

Manifestations of?: asymptomatic, visualization of the cervix or uterus from the vaginal opening, feeling of fullness in the pelvis or vagina, difficult or painful sexual intercourse, vaginal bleeding, and difficulty with urination and defecation.

Uterine Prolapse

Reflux of urine from the bladder to ureter and renal pelvis; urine is allowed to flow backwards into the ureters and possibly into the kidneys CAUSES? - Shortened ureteral tunnel through the bladder wall resulting in lateral displacement of valvular mechanism making it incompetent TREATMENT? - About 80% of cases resolve spontaneously as a child grows; conservative treatment is management of cystitis with antibiotics, sometimes continuously

Vesicoureteral Reflux
