Urethritis period 1
Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra caused by a bacterial or viral infection that can spread to the kidneys, bladder, and ureters causing a urinary tract infection. Risk factors include family history, multiple sexual partners, risky sexual behaviors like anal sex, and damaged condoms. In Canada, 5% of men and 3-4% of women experience urethritis most commonly between the ages of 20-35. Treatment involves antibiotics to eliminate the infection and avoiding sex or using protection to prevent spread, with the goal of resolving symptoms and preventing further infection.

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viral infections, alcohol, medications, toxins, and autoimmune diseases. The liver performs many important functions including producing chemicals and nutrients, removing waste, and guarding against infection. Hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E are the most common causes of viral hepatitis. Hepatitis can range from an acute infection that heals on its own to a chronic infection that causes long-term liver damage. Treatment and lifestyle changes can help manage hepatitis and prevent further liver damage.

Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by N. gonorrhoeae. Hippocrates referred to acute gonorrhea as “strangury” obtained from the “pleasures of Venus” in the fourth and fifth centuries B.C. (229). It was not until A.D. 130 that Galen, who mistakenly confused the purulent discharge associated with gonococcal urethritis with semen, introduced the term gonorrhea, i. e., “flow of seed” . N gonorrhoeae is the second most commonly occurring reportable sexually transmitted infection after Chlamydia trachomatis.

STD Power Point
This document provides information about several common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV/AIDS, HPV, herpes, and hepatitis B. It describes how each infection is spread and common symptoms. It also lists recommended antibiotic treatments for chlamydia and gonorrhea. The document stresses that early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent long-term health issues from these infections. Regular STI testing is encouraged for sexually active individuals.
Presentation on the Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are spread through intimate sexual contact. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts, hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, pubic lice, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. While abstinence is the best prevention method, latex condoms can help reduce transmission risk if used correctly, though they do not protect against all STIs. Untreated STIs can lead to long-term health issues like infertility, cancer, pain, and even death. Anyone experiencing STI symptoms should see a healthcare provider for testing and treatment.
Trichomoniasis
This document summarizes the symptoms, signs, facts, treatment, and prognosis of trichomoniasis. Key symptoms in women include vaginal discharge and itching or swelling of the labia, while men may experience burning after urination. Diagnosis involves examining vaginal discharge under a microscope. Trichomoniasis is treated with antibiotics, and partners must be treated to prevent reinfection. Left untreated, it can increase HIV transmission risk.
Orchitis & epididymitis
This document provides information about orchitis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles that is usually caused by a virus like mumps or bacteria that spreads from an associated epididymitis. Common symptoms include pain and tenderness in the testicles and scrotum. Diagnosis involves examination of the testicles and scrotum along with potential laboratory tests. While viral orchitis cannot be cured, it will resolve on its own. Bacterial orchitis is treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications.

Vesicoureteral reflux period 4
Vesicoureteral reflux is an abnormal flow of urine from the bladder back up the ureters into the kidneys. It can develop as primary reflux, caused by a birth defect in the valve between the bladder and ureter, or secondary reflux caused by a blockage in the urinary system. Risk factors include family history, lighter skin color, and female sex. While most children outgrow reflux by age 5, treatment with antibiotics may be needed to prevent urinary tract infections from reaching the kidneys.
Urethral strictureblock4
Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra caused by inflammation or scarring that results in difficult or painful urination. It can be caused by injuries, medical procedures, infections, or birth defects. Symptoms include bloody or dark urine, difficulty urinating, and pelvic or abdominal pain. Risks include infections of the bladder, prostate, or kidneys. Treatments may include dilation to widen the urethra, surgery to remove or bypass the stricture, or stents or catheters to keep the urethra open.
Nephrosis period 4
Nephrosis, also known as nephrotic syndrome, is a condition caused by damage to the glomeruli in the kidneys which results in excessive protein being released into the urine. It can be caused by various kidney diseases, medications, infections, genetic disorders, and immune system issues. Symptoms include swelling in the hands and feet from protein in the urine. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause through medications, dietary changes, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Nephritisperiod4
This document discusses nephritis, which is inflammation of the kidneys that causes them to lose function. There are several types of nephritis, including interstitial nephritis caused by allergic reactions, glomerulonephritis which is inflammation of the glomeruli, and pyelonephritis resulting from urinary tract infections. Risk factors include age, diabetes, heart defects, and viral infections. Nephritis most commonly affects Canadians between 40-90 years old, with over 200,000 Canadians diagnosed each year. Treatment depends on the type of nephritis but may include antibiotics, pain relievers, blood pressure medication, and in serious cases, kidney transplantation.
Nephritisperiod4 (1)
Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys that can be acute or chronic. It occurs in the glomeruli, tubules, or surrounding tissue of the kidneys. To determine treatment, tests are run to diagnose the type and cause of nephritis. Corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation but require careful monitoring due to side effects. Treatment is tailored based on test results and severity of each case.
Kidneystonesmichelbeyan4
Kidney stones form when minerals crystallize and separate from urine inside the kidney. They are typically small in size but can cause pain by blocking the flow of urine. Common symptoms include pain during urination, back pain, and blood in the urine. While diet and dehydration are key risk factors, kidney stones sometimes form without a clear cause. Diagnosis involves x-rays or ultrasounds to detect stones in the kidneys or ureters. Shock wave lithotripsy is a common treatment that uses sonic waves to break up stones so they can pass naturally in urine.
Gout period 4
Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by painful swelling in one or more joints. It occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints, causing inflammation. Risk factors include diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes, certain medications, and being a man over 40 years old. Gout is treated through medications that reduce uric acid levels, relieve pain and inflammation during acute attacks, and prevent future attacks.
Urethral stricture period 1
Urethral stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the urethra that can be caused by inflammation, scar tissue from injury or surgery, or pressure from a tumor. Symptoms include a decreased urinary stream, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and difficulty urinating. Treatment involves surgery to widen the urethra if symptoms cannot be controlled. Urethral stricture affects around 4% of Canadians between the ages of 18-75, with risk increasing with age.
Nephrosis period1
Nephrosis is a degenerative kidney disease where the kidneys start to lose function over time. It can be caused by defects in the glomeruli or be secondary to other conditions like diabetes or hypertension that damage the kidneys. Symptoms include swelling in the face and legs from fluid retention, protein in the urine, high cholesterol, and low blood protein. Treatments may include medications to reduce inflammation, antibiotics for infection, dialysis for kidney failure, and following a low-salt, low-fat diet with exercise.
Kidneystones period1
The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine. Kidney stones can form when there is a decrease in urine volume or an excess of stone-forming substances in the kidneys, usually calcium combined with phosphate or oxalate. Men are more prone to kidney stones than women. Treatments for kidney stones include surgery, sound waves to break stones into smaller pieces, and drinking water to pass small stones. To prevent stones, people should stay hydrated and limit salty and processed foods.
Kidneystonesperiod1 (1)
The document discusses kidney stones, which are hard masses formed in the kidney from insoluble calcium compounds. Risk factors include being overweight, having insulin resistance, low estrogen levels, high protein diets, and digestive or surgery issues. Kidney stones most commonly affect adults aged 30-50 and are more prevalent in men than women. Approximately 1 in 10 Canadians will experience kidney stones, which is 12% of men and 7% of women. Treatment options include medical therapy, using sound waves to break up stones, or surgery to remove stones, while smaller stones may be treated using a ureteroscope.
Gout period1
Gout is caused by excess uric acid in the body which forms needle-like crystals in the joints, causing sudden and severe pain. It is more common in overweight men over 30 and post-menopausal women. Risk factors include diet high in purines, alcohol consumption, family history, and certain medical conditions. Treatment focuses on reducing uric acid levels through medication, diet, and lifestyle changes to relieve pain and prevent further attacks.
Cystitis --period 1
Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder that is usually caused by a urinary tract infection from bacteria. Common symptoms include a strong and persistent urge to urinate, burning during urination, and passing frequent small amounts of urine. Risk factors include older age, weak immune system, use of bladder catheters, and not urinating frequently enough. Treatment involves antibiotics for mild cases or regular antibiotics for recurrent cystitis.
Bladder cancer period 1
Bladder cancer begins with malignant tumors in the inner lining of the bladder. There are two main types: superficial bladder cancer, which only affects the inner lining, and invasive bladder cancer, which spreads to the muscle walls. Risk factors include smoking, workplace exposures like the rubber/dye industries, and some birth defects. In Canada, bladder cancer is the 5th most common cancer and affects mostly older individuals, with symptoms including blood in the urine, frequent urination, and pain during urination. Treatments may include surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Vesicoureteral reflux period 1
Vesicoureteral reflux is a physical defect where urine flows back from the bladder to the ureters and kidneys. It can be either primary, where the child is born with an undeveloped ureter, or secondary, caused by a blockage that increases urinary pressure. Symptoms include urinary tract infections. Left untreated, bacteria from infections can scar the kidneys, potentially leading to issues like high blood pressure or kidney failure. Treatment options include long-term antibiotics, surgery, or deflux liquid to prevent infections and scarring.
