INTRODUCTION
Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition
that affects the prostate.
The prostate is an internal male organ,
Walnut –sized and located between the
bladder and the penis.
The prostate gland serves to usher urine
through the body in a tube called the Urethra.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE PROSTATE GLAND
![Page 7: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The prostate gland is a
musculo- glanduar organ about the
size and shape of walnut.
It lies just below the neck of the
bladder and surrounds the urethra
posteriorly and laterally.
It is traversed by the ejaculatory
ducts and the continuation of the
vas deferens.
![Page 8: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The gland consists of a capsule
and numerous partitions.
The cells lining the partitions
secrete prostatic fluid.
There are 10-20 short ducts that
carry secretion of the prostate
gland to the prostate part of the
urethra.
![Page 9: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The prostatic fluid is chemically
and physiologically suitable to the
needs of the spermatozoa in their
passage from the genital glands.
The fluid is a thin milky fluid that
contains calcium, citrate ion,
phosphate ion, a clotting enzyme,
and a profibrinolysin.
![Page 10: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
During emission, the capsule of the prostate gland contracts simultaneously with the contractions of the vas deferns and the prostate fluid is added to the semen.
The slightly alkaline characteristic of the prostatic fluid helps neuturalize the citric acid from the vas deferns
And therefore is important for protecting the sperm till fertilization of the ovum.

PROSTATITIS
INFLAMMATION OF THE PROSTATE
There are four types of Prostatitis including;
Acute Bacterial Prostatitis
Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
Chronic Pelvic pain Syndrome
(PPS), also called Asymptomatic
protatitis.
![Page 12: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In most cases, the causes of
the inflammation are
unknown. However, Prostatitis
can be caused by bacteria.
Bacterial Prostatitis responds
well to anti bacterial drugs
that Concentrate in the
prostate.
![Page 13: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Men of any age can be affected.
Condition is marked by pain in the
groin. Sometimes there may be
difficulty in urinating.
Acute Bacterial Prostatitis: This is
usually caused by E.coli, klebsiella or
Chlamydia organisms, symptoms are
similar to a urinary tract infection with
fever, fatigue and body aches.
![Page 14: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There may be an increase in the
urgency and frequency of
urination.
Sometimes there is blood in the
urine.
Antibiotics, pain relievers and
bed rest are the usual treatment.
![Page 15: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
Is a much milder condition than the acute form
And involves episodes of infections that come
and go.
Treatment recommendation includes
antibiotics,
Pain relievers and soothing treatments such as
sitz bath.
![Page 16: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The prostate gland becomes
swellon and painful due to
bacterial infection or any other
inflammatory source.
The prostate surrounds the
urethra, but when inflamed,
It can compress the urethra
and results to urinary
obstruction.
![Page 17: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In severe cases, prostate abscess
can occur.
Men with prostatitis mainly
complain of urination problem, such
as difficulty starting the stream
Or the need to strain on urination;
lower back pain, pelvic pain and
perineum pain are the common
symptoms
![Page 18: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Also pain during or after
ejaculation may be felt.
The patient with bacterial
prostatitis often complains of
symptoms of urinary tract
infections.
Usually they complain of
urgency, frequency, painful
micturition and haematuria.
![Page 19: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Bacteria infections results to
fever, chills and general
weakness.
Acute bacterial prostatitis
present with severe
symptoms while symptoms
of non bacterial are usually
mild.
![Page 20: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATIS INCLUDES;
Difficult and painful urination
Low back pain
Fever
Pain in the genital and pelvic areas
Painful ejaculation
![Page 21: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BENIGH PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA.
INTRODUCTION;
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a
progressive disease that is commonly
associated with lower urinary tract
symptoms (Nwoforame, 2013)
This is a benign enlargement of the
prostate gland.
![Page 22: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In many patients above fifty
(50) years of age,
The prostate gland enlarges
extending upwards into the
Bladder and obstruct the
outflow of urine by
encroaching on the vesical
orifice.
![Page 23: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It is estimated that 70% of men aged over
6o years and above should have some
prostate enlargement (Wale, 2013.)
Approximately half of these men will
experience symptoms ranging from mild to
severe.
These are due to the enlarging prostate
interfering with the free flow of urine from
the bladder into the urethra.
![Page 24: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The prostate gland is usually
small during boyhood.
But between puberty and the
age of about (20) years,
increases roughly five fold in size.
Further enlargement is
increasingly common as the
gland becomes hyperplastic.
![Page 25: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
AETIOLOGY: Generally idiopathic but factors associated
are as follows;
AGEING: Increases estrogen and Androgens
receptor while testosterone decreases.
DHT: Specific mediator for prostate development
and
Increase in prostate specific androgen growth
i. e increase prostatic DHT and AR in ageing
males
![Page 26: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Early castration in life prevents
development of prostate.
May be as a result of inflammatory
process and malignancy.
Decrease testosterone level as men
age
Failure in spermatic venous drainage
Infections like gonorrhea. (Bello,
2013.)
![Page 27: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Benign Prostate hypertropy is the
enlargment of the prostate gland
with hypertrophy and hyperplaxia of
the normal tissue in men over 50
years.
As men age, production of
androgenic hormones decreases
causing an imbalance in androgen
![Page 28: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
And oestrogen levels and high levels
of dihydrotestosterone (the main
prostatic intracellular androgen)
This results into inflammation and
enlargement of the prostate gland
(hyperplasia) and changes in
periurethral glandular tissue.
Gradually he experiences difficulty
in starting the flow of urine, reduced
urine stream, force and size,
straining.
![Page 29: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
And a feeling of incomplete
voiding, urgency and
frequent urination with
nocturia.
Incomplete voiding makes
the bladder to refill more
quickly.
In severe cases the bladder
becomes over distended,
![Page 30: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hypertrophy with small
diverticular musculature
that retains urine when the
bladder empties.
The back flow of urine
causes hydroureter or even
hydronephrosis thereby
impairing renal functions.

MEDICAL TREATMENT Alpha- Adrenegic Antagonists
Inhibiting these receptors relaxes the
muscle and decreases urinary outflow
resistance, thereby improving symptoms.
Phenoxybenzamina- A non selective
alpha blocker(blocks (a- 1 and a-2
receptors)
Prazosin- Relatively selective a- 1 blocker
![Page 45: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

PROSTATE CANCER
INTRODUCTION
Prostate cancer is the most common
cancer in men.
It is responsible for 10% of cancer
related deaths in men (ACS, 2003 in
Brunner and Suddarth).
Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that
develops in the prostate, a gland in the
male reproductive system.
![Page 57: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Most prostatic cancers are
however slow growing, however,
there are cases of aggressive
prostate cancers.
The cancer cells may metastasize
from the prostate to other parts
of the body particularly the bones
and lymph nodes.
![Page 58: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF PROSTATE CANCER
PROSTATE CANCER DEVELOPS PRIMARILY IN
MEN OVER 50 YEARS. THE RATES OF PROSTATIC CANCER
VARY WIDELY ACROSS THE WORLD (GLOBAL CANCER STATISTICS, 2011).
THE RATES ALSO VARY WIDELY BETWEEN CONTINENTS, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY,
PROSTATE CANCER IS LEAST COMMON AMONG ASIAN MEN, MOST COMMON AMONG BLACK MEN, WITH FIGURES OF WHITE MEN IN BETWEEN.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Cancer of the prostate
usually starts as a nodule in
the perterior lobe of the
gland that is farthest from
the urethra.
If the tumour grows large
enough, it can obstruct
urinary flow and cause
frequency, nocturia and
dysuria.
![Page 64: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The malignancy usually
spreads by the bloodstream
and lymphatics to the pelvic
lymph nodes and bones,
particularly the lumber
vertebrae, pelvis and hips.
The first symptoms the patient
usually notices is a back pain
![Page 65: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Or a pain down the leg
due to metastasis to the
nerve sheaths.
A patient with these and
other symptoms is often
in the advanced stage of
the disease.
![Page 66: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

CLASSIFICATION OF PROSTATE CANCER
An important part of evaluating
prostate cancer is determining the
stage or how far the cancer has spread.
Knowing the stage helps define
prognosis and useful when selecting
therapies.
![Page 74: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
The most common system is the four
stage TNM System (abbreviated
from tumour/nodes/metastases).
It components include the size of
the tumour,
The number of lymph nodes
involved and the presence of any
other metastases.
![Page 75: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
The most important distinction made by any staging system is whether or not the cancer is still confined to the prostate.
In the TNM system, clinical T1 and T2 cancers are found only in the prostate,
While T3 and T4 cancers have spread elsewhere.
![Page 76: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
MANAGEMENT OF PROSTATIC CANCER
Prostate cancer especially
the most common, low grade
forms found in the typically
elderly patient
Often grow so slowly that no
treatment is required at all.
![Page 77: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Because of PSA screening,
almost ninety percent of
patients are diagnosed when
the cancer is localized to the
prostate gland
And its removal by surgery or
radiotherapy will in most cases
lead to a cure.
![Page 78: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
RADIATION THERAPY
HORMONAL THERAPY
CHEMOTHERAPY: High dose of
ketoconazole (HDK) lowers
testosterone through its ability
to decrease both testicular and
endocrine production of
androgen.
Oral chemotherapeutic drugs
like Temozolomide (TMZ).
![Page 79: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
CRYOSURGERY OF THE
PROSTATE: It is used to ablate
(remove or excise) prostate
cancer in patients who cannot
tolerate surgery and in those
with recurrent prostate cancer.
Chemotherapy agents such as
cyclophosphamide may also be
used.

![Page 86: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
and treatment plan helps
decrease his anxiety and
promotes co-operation.
ASSESS HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL
REACTIONS TO HIS
DIAGNOSIS/PROGNOSIS AND HOW
HE HAS COPED WITH PAST
STRESSES,
![Page 87: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Assessment of his psychological reaction provides clues in
determining appropriate measures to facilitate coping.
ENCOURAGE PATIENT TO ASK QUESTIONS AND
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, Encouraging patient
to ask questions helps to correct
misconceptions and to allay patient’s fears.
EVALUATION
Patient becomes relaxed and verbalizes that
anxiety has been reduced. Demonstrates
understanding of illness. Engages in open
communication with others.
![Page 88: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
NURSING DIAGNOSIS (2)• Acute Urinary retention related to urethral obstruction secondary
to prostatic enlargement and loss of bladder tone.
NURSING OBJECTIVE
Patient’s pattern of urinary
elimination will improve within
forty eight hours of hospitalization.
![Page 89: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Determine patient’s pattern of urinary
function, Determining patient’s usual
urinary pattern provides a base line
for comparison and goal to work
towards.
Assess for signs and symptoms of
urinary retention e.g. amount and
frequency of urination, supra pubic
distention, complaints of urgency and
discomfort.
Because Voiding 20 to 30 ml
frequently and output less than intake
suggest retention.
![Page 90: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Catheterize patient to determine
amount of residual volume,
Catheterization determines amount of
urine remaining in bladder after
voiding.
Monitor catheter function and
maintain sterility of closed system,
Catheter function ensures the bladder
is emptied and also prevents Infection.
![Page 91: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Prepare patient for
surgery if indicated,
Surgical removal of
obstruction is necessary
EVALUATION
Patient voids at normal
interval, maintains
balanced intake and
output.
![Page 92: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
NURSING DIAGNOSIS (3)
Imbalanced nutrition less than
body requirements related to
decreased oral intake because of
anorexia, nausea and vomiting
caused by cancer/ its treatment.
NURSING OBJECTIVE
Patient will maintain optimal
nutritional status.
![Page 93: Conditions of prostate; refers to any condition that affects the prostate. The prostate is an internal male organ, Walnut –sized and located between](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e0e5503460f94af8c85/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Assess the amount of food eaten,
Assessment will help determine nutrient
intake.
Weigh patient routinely, Weighing the
patient on the same scale under similar
conditions can help to monitor changes in
weight.
Elicits patient’s explanation of why he is
