Episode notes

In this episode, Dr. Geo and Dr. Bilal Chughtai explore the topic of an overactive bladder, providing a detailed explanation of the workings of the bladder and how it functions. The hosts also touch upon the receptors around the bladder and, in men, between the bladder and the prostate that assist with urination. They then delve into the causes and symptoms of overactive bladder, characterized by an overstimulation of the muscarinic receptors, leading to sensitivity to even low volumes of fluid in the bladder. The hosts note that an overactive bladder is more prevalent in women than men. Overall, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of the bladder's mechanisms and sheds light on the causes and symptoms of an overactive bladder.

The ExoDx™ Prostate Test is a simple, non-DRE, urine-based, liquid biopsy test indicated for men 50 years of age and older with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) 2-10ng/mL, or PSA in the “gray zone” who may be considering a biopsy. The ExoDx Prostate test provides a risk score that determines a patient’s potential risk of clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Score ≥7). The test is included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines and has been clinically validated at the cut-point of 15.6 with a 91% sensitivity and 92% negative predictive value, meaning there is less than a 9% chance of having aggressive prostate cancer below the validated cut-point of 15.6.
