Comparison of Urinary Elimination Disorders:
| Stress Incontinence | Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) | Pyelonephritis | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pathophysiology | Involuntary loss of urine due to increased intra-abdominal pressure. Weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. | Enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urethral obstruction. | Bacterial infection of the kidneys, often originating from the lower urinary tract. |
| Etiology | Childbirth, weakened pelvic muscles, aging. | Hormonal changes, aging, genetic factors. | Bacterial infection (Escherichia coli being a common cause). |
| Clinical Manifestations | Urine leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising. | Difficulty initiating urination, weak urinary stream, urinary retention. | Fever, flank pain, urinary urgency, frequency, and dysuria. |
| Interventions | Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), behavioral changes, surgery in severe cases. | Medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors), TURP (Transurethral resection of the prostate), surgery. | Antibiotics, hydration, pain management, addressing underlying causes. |
