This is the actual Discussion theme: 
Urinary System Homeostatic Imbalances
The urinary system works hard to cleanse our blood of waste products and excess fluid. Sometimes a disease or disorder disrupts this process and our body needs some help to expel these wastes.
Use your textbook readings and other reliable resources to research these topics in further detail. Then, in your main post, answer the following discussion questions:

Choose one urinary system disease or disorder (list the topic in the subject line of your post), then answer the following questions:

What causes your chosen disease/disorder to occur.
Describe relevant signs and symptoms of this disease/disorder.
Describe at least one treatment option and how it works to correct the chosen disease/disorder.

Dialysis is often required when a person’s kidneys are unable to function correctly.

How does dialysis work to cleanse the blood?
What is the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?
If you had were prescribed dialysis, which method would you utilize and why?

What is one interesting fact that you have about the urinary system.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate)
The prostate gland is located beneath your bladder. The tube that transports urine from the bladder out of your penis (urethra) passes through the center of the prostate. When the prostate enlarges, it begins to block urine flow. Most men have continued prostate growth throughout life. In many men, this continued growth enlarges the prostate enough to cause urinary symptoms or to significantly block urine flow. It isn’t entirely clear what causes the prostate to enlarge. However, it might be due to changes in the balance of sex hormones as men grow older. A wide variety of treatments are available for enlarged prostate, including medication, minimally invasive therapies and surgery. The best treatment choice for you depends on several factors, like the size of your prostate, age, health and discomfort.
Dialysis
A pump in the hemodialysis machine slowly draws out your blood, then sends it through another machine called a dialyzer. This works like a kidney and filters out extra salt, waste, and fluid. Your cleaned blood is sent back into your body through the second needle in your arm. In hemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine, and returned to your body by tubes that connect you to the machine. In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. If I had to choose I would utilize peritoneal because you can do it at home without the hassle, but the down side of it is that it is not always effective.
I found it very interesting that the urinary tract system is important because it filters wastes and extra fluid from the bloodstream and removes them from the body. It is also the common cause in complications and elderly people.

The causes for a UTI include frequent sexual intercourse, diabetes, poor personal hygiene, problems with completely emptying the bladder, a urinary catheter, bowel incontinence, kidney stones, pregnancy, suppressed immune system, immobility for long periods of time, heavy use of antibiotics, and use of spermicides or tampons (McIntosh,2018). Some symptoms of a UTI are strong and frequent urge to urinate, cloudy and strong urine odor, pain and burning when urinating, abdominal pain and aching in the muscles, and nausea or vomiting (McIntosh 2018). A treatment option for a UTI would be use of an antibiotic (McIntosh, 2018). If women tend to have recurrent UTIs they may be told to take an antibiotic after sexual contact, take one for 6 months, or to take 2-3 days course of one if symptoms seem to reappear (McIntosh, 2018). Antibiotics are good to use for bacterial infections such as a UTI.
Dialysis works to clean the blood by 2 needles being placed in the arm where the graft is located (WebMD, 2020). The hemodialysis machine uses the pump to draw the blood out slowly so it can send it through a dialyzer (WebMD, 2020). The dialyzer works likes a kidney by filtering out extra salt, waste, and fluid (WebMD, 2020). The blood that is cleaned is then sent back to the body though the second needle in your arm (WebMD, 2020).
Hemodialysis is ongoing and involves treatment 3-5 times a week at a dialysis center. This form cleans your blood (UMMC, 2021). Peritoneal is daily and can be done at home. It collects waste from the blood and washes space in the abdomen (UMMC, 2021).
I would more than likely choose peritoneal so I would be able to continue working and not have to worry about going somewhere else for dialysis. I could use it at night and not have to worry about it during the day.
One fact I am amazed by is that we are our kidneys are the size of our fist. I always thought they were a lot smaller than that!
