Which of the following results in a clinically INSIGNIFICANT
increase in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA)?
A. Digital rectal exam
B. Ejaculation
C. Prostatitis
D. Prostate biopsy
A.
Digital rectal exam (DRE) leads to a clinically insignificant
increase of 0.26-0.4 ng/mL for about 48-72 hours afterwards.
Prostate biopsy increases the PSA about 8 ng/mL for up to 4
weeks following biopsy. Prostate infection and ejaculation both
can significantly increase the PSA levels in varying amounts.
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors work by producing:
A. dilation of the detrusor vessels.
B. a decrease in the size of the prostate.
C. increase blood flow to the prostate.
D. inhibition in the prostate tissue synthesis.
B.
The class of drugs known as the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like
dutasteride (Avodart) or finasteride (Proscar) reduces the size of
the prostate gland but benefits are not usually realized for
several months; sometimes 6-12 months. For men who need
relief of symptoms related to prostate enlargement, an alpha-
blocker will provide significantly faster symptom relief. These
two drugs can be used in combination.
, A localized tumor in the prostate gland associated with early-
stage prostate cancer is likely to produce:
A. urinary hesitancy.
B. low back pain.
C. urinary frequency
D. no symptoms.
D.
Localized tumors associated with early-stage prostate cancer
usually produce no symptoms or clinical manifestations.
Occasionally, localized tumors produce UTI symptoms, nocturia,
daytime voiding frequency, and diminished force of urinary
stream. These symptoms are common with benign prostatic
hypertrophy (BPH). An uncommon manifestation of prostate
cancer is hematuria.
What is the effect of digital rectal examination (DRE) on a male’s
PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level if it is measured on the
same day as DRE?
A. The change is insignificant
B. A decrease in the PSA will occur
C. An increase in the PSA will occur
D. There will be a change, but it is not predictable
A.
There is an inconsequential rise in PSA levels within 72 hours
after DRE. DRE should not prevent a patient from having a PSA
level measured at any time.
A 40-year-old male has been diagnosed with acute bacterial
prostatitis. His prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is elevated on
diagnosis. How soon should his PSA be rechecked?
A. 2-3 days
B. 1 week
C. 2 weeks
D. 4 weeks
