What a Urologist can offer Further evaluation History and Physical How often Association Disability (bother) How often is this occurring When does it happen Association with behaviors – ie caffeine Difficulty with getting to restroom 2/2 movement Dementia play a role Bother? What a Urologist can offer
Voiding diary UDI 6 questionnaire Males- IPSS Tools for evaluation
Irritative vs Obstructive Irritative Symptoms Frequency Urgency Nocturia Sensation of incomplete emptying If they have a lot of irritative symptoms then the treatment options are decidedly different than obstructive Often times it starts with something for the outlet; if we’re talking about women, then we’re not talking about a prostate and usually not something causing outlet obstruction in Parkinson’s patients Irritative vs Obstructive

Treatment options Treatment options depend on what urinary symptoms we are dealing with
Bladder? Outlet? Treatment options Comes down to is it the bladder or is it the outlet or a little bit of both Urge/frequency may be as easy as reducing fluid intake to 2L per day, modifying behavioral habits such as no fluids 2 hours prior to bed, or not drinking that pot of coffee before bed When that fails we start to go down the pathway of medications and surgeries Briefly: mainstay medication for urge/frequency - anticholinergics
Treatments Behavioral therapy Timed voiding Decrease caffeine Limit fluids before bedtime Avoid constipation!!! Behavioral therapy Treatment options depend on what urinary symptoms we are dealing with Urge/frequency may be as easy as reducing fluid intake to 2L per day, modifying behavioral habits such as no fluids 2 hours prior to bed, or not drinking that pot of coffee before bed When that fails we start to go down the pathway of medications and surgeries Briefly: mainstay medication for urge/frequency - anticholinergics Treatments
Treatments Constipation Not just drinking 8 glasses 35-40 grams of fiber Ambulation Medications can contribute Treatment options depend on what urinary symptoms we are dealing with Urge/frequency may be as easy as reducing fluid intake to 2L per day, modifying behavioral habits such as no fluids 2 hours prior to bed, or not drinking that pot of coffee before bed When that fails we start to go down the pathway of medications and surgeries Briefly: mainstay medication for urge/frequency - anticholinergics Treatments

Treatments Anticholinergic/antimuscarinics Oxybutynin Trospium Benefits: reduction in urge/frequency and leak episodes Risks: constipation/dry mouth most common risks Treatment options depend on what urinary symptoms we are dealing with Urge/frequency may be as easy as reducing fluid intake to 2L per day, modifying behavioral habits such as no fluids 2 hours prior to bed, or not drinking that pot of coffee before bed When that fails we start to go down the pathway of medications and surgeries Briefly: mainstay medication for urge/frequency - anticholinergics Treatments
Treatments Third line treatments: PTNS Onaboutlinumtoxin A Sacral neuromodulation Treatment options depend on what urinary symptoms we are dealing with Urge/frequency may be as easy as reducing fluid intake to 2L per day, modifying behavioral habits such as no fluids 2 hours prior to bed, or not drinking that pot of coffee before bed When that fails we start to go down the pathway of medications and surgeries Briefly: mainstay medication for urge/frequency - anticholinergics Treatments
Treatments Treatment options – obstructive symptoms Rarely do patients with PD develop true dyssnergia of their sphincter and bladder leading to obstructive symptoms Uds can help determine this but in a male most likely prostate issues Medications can help: alpha blockers (terazosin and Tamsulosin) first line Followed by 5 ARI and then consideration for outlet surgery – most common being a TURP Treatments
