Abstract

Urological problems are observed commonly in elderly people, and taking care of geriatric patients represents a large portion of the daily routine in the practice of an urologist. Urinary incontinence and voiding dysfunction, nocturia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, urinary tract infections and late on-set hypogonadism are the most common urologic problems seen in the geriatric age group. Most of these conditions are managed by medications that can affect cognitive functions, blood pressure, heart rate and rhytm, as well as balance, and these medications may interact with the other medications used daily for other conditions. Urinary pathologic conditions, such as incontinence and nocturia, can lead to significant morbidity in the frail elderly, often leading to falls and hip fractures. Surgical intervention is common for urologic diseases, especially for prostatic conditions, but must be carefully evaluated before initiation in geriatric patients.

Özet

Ürolojik sorunlar daha çok yaşlı hastalarda gözlenir ve ürologların günlük rutin pratiklerinin önemli bir kısmını geriatrik hastalar oluşturur. Geriatrik yaş grubunda en sık karşılaşılan ürolojik sorunlar; üriner inkontinans ve işeme disfonksiyonu, noktüri,benign prostate hiperplazisi, prostate kanseri, üriner enfeksiyonlar ve geç başlayan hipogonadizmdir. Bu durumların birçoğu , bilişsel fonksiyonlar,kan basıncı, kalp hızı ve ritminin yanısıra dengeyi de etkileyebilen ilaçlarla tedavi edilebilirler, bu ilaçlar diğer hastalıklar için günlük olarak kullanılan ilaçlarla etkileşim gösterebilirler. İnkontinans ve noktüri gibi üriner patolojik durumlar, kırılgan yaşlılarda sıklıkla düşmeler ve kalça kırıklarına neden olarak ciddi morbiditeye yol açabilirler. Ürolojik hastalıklar, özellikle de prostat hastalıkları için cerrahi gişim sıklıkla kullanılır , ancak geriatrik hastalarda cerrahiden önce dikkatli bir değerlendirme yapılmalıdır.
