A Case Report of Acute Prostatitis Secondary to Use of P-valve Condom Catheter During Cave Diving

Introduction: Acute bacterial prostatitis is characterized by acute inflammation of the prostate gland accompanied by the presence of pain and other urinary tract or systemic symptoms. Prostatitis is a relatively common disease of the urinary tract in men, However, this case reports a man diagnosed with acute bacterial prostatitis with an unusual presentation, as well as an unusual pathogen and a unique mechanism of colonization. Case Report: A 52-year-old male with no past medical history presented to our facility for right-sided buttock pain associated with dysuria, diarrhea, and perianal burning. The patient was diagnosed with sepsis secondary to acute bacterial prostatitis, and the pathogen identified in his urine was Aeromonas hydrophila/A. caviae. His disease process was later recognized as a complication of the use of a P-valve condom catheter while freshwater cave diving. Conclusion: This is the first documented case of prostatitis as a result of the use of a P-valve condom catheter while diving. Furthermore, the pathogen identified is of particular interest as there are very few documented cases of urosepsis secondary to Aeromonas hydrophila or A. caviae.

Acute Bacterial Prostatitis

Prostatitis is one of the most common urinary tract diseases in men of all ages and is often challenging to manage. They can be classified based of the course of illness, presentation, and their etiology, and the investigation and treatment depend on how type of prostatitis. In this study we aim to look through the literature to find the various types of prostatitis and understand the respective methods of management. We did a systematic search for prostatitis using PubMed search engine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and Google Scholar search engine (https://scholar. google.com). The terms used in the search were: prostatitis, urinary tract diseases in men, classification of prostatitis, management of prostatitis. Prostatitis is a common disease and is considered to be the third most common urological disease in men. It has been categorized into four groups: acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis. Treatment can be challenging, but mainly consists of use of fluoroquinolones.

Lower Urinary

Colonoscopy is a common procedure for diagnosing a wide range of conditions and symptoms affecting the large bowel. Research has shown that the examination itself may induce transient bacterial infections. Specifically acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) has little mention in medical literature as a recognized complication of this procedure. Here we discuss a 37 year old male presenting with symptoms suggesting lower urinary tract infection after having undergone colonoscopy followed by recurrent episodic haematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Physicians and endoscopists should be aware of the risk of acute bacterial prostatitis as a potential complication of colonoscopy in order to minimize misdiagnosis as well as the complications associated with the delayed treatment of it. In addition male patients and the immunocompromised should be fully counselled regarding this risk prior to undertaking this procedure.

Bladder Diverticulum

Bladder diverticulum, an outpouching of the mucosa through the muscular wall of the bladder, is a multifactorial disease process that can be either acquired or congenital. Although small diverticuli are usually asymptomatic, a large diverticulum may result in hematuria, urinary tract infection, acute abdomen due to its rupture, acute urinary retention, or neoplasm formation. We describe the case of an elderly gentleman who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and was ultimately diagnosed with bladder diverticulitis, a disease not previously described in the literature.

Fibroepithelial polyps are benign tumors of mesodermal origin that usually arise on the surface of the skin and to a lesser extent in the urinary tract; however, their presence on the penis is extremely unusual. We report the case of a 73-year-old male with an extremely large broad-based penile fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) involving the penile shaft and glans penis associated with chronic condom catheter use and that was treated with partial penectomy. A review of the literature is included to highlight the rarity of this case. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest mass of its kind to be reported on the penis.

Lycopodium Clavatum

Objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a leading cause of morbidity and health-care expenditures in persons of all ages. Recurrent UTI accounts a substantial portion due to its ambiguity of treatment and response. Only using palliative treatment during episodes is not enough to assure the complete resolution of the disease process. Apart from conventional medication, an alternative therapy is warranted for a better and gentle treatment regimen. Methods: This is the case of a 35-year-old female presented with the complaint of recurrent UTI for last 5 months along with some other complaints. After a thorough evaluation, we treated the case with homeopathic medicine, Lycopodium clavatum for a considerable period. The clinical assessment in different visits was done to note any improvement along with the pre-post pathological report. After complete resolution of symptoms, no further recurrence was noted in the next 6 months of follow-up. Results: A marked improvement in the clinical, as well as the pathological aspect, was observed. Conclusion: Although depending only on the observation of this case report efficacy cannot be established, it inevitably draws attention toward effective management of such recurrent UTI cases with homeopathic medication.
