| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which veins of the tesitcle are most likely to become varicosed? | left |
| Which testicle hangs lower? | left |
| Urinary stream is more like to be involved with? | benign prostatic hypertrophy |
| What is testicular torsion? | twisting of the spermatocord which cuts of venous return. Venous engorgement leads to backpressure thru the capillaries which prevents arterial blood delivery. SURGICAL EMERGENCY |
| What are the characteristics of the testicle? | ovoid and approximately 4x3x2 cm |
| What is cryptorchidism | absense of one or both testicles in the scrotum due to failure of descent. Associated with a 20-40% increased risk of testicular cancer |
| What is H and P of testicular torsion? | acute onset, nausea, vomiting, orchalgia, scrotal discoloration and swelling. Absent cremasteric reflex |
| What is cremasteric reflex? | This reflex is elicited by lightly stroking the superior and medial part of the thigh. The normal response is a contraction of the cremaster muscle that pulls up the scrotum and testis on the side stroked. |
| When do testicles descend? | by 6 months. By age of 1 it is a problem |
| What is epididymitis? | inflammation of the epididymis usually associated with bacterial infection. |
| What is H and P of epididymitis? | gradual onset, Hx of recent urinary tract or sexually transmitted infection. Pyruia or bacteria with fever. Pain is relieved by elevation of the scrotum |
| A mother is concerned because she c an’t find 1 month olds right testicle and his foreskin doesn’t retract. Should she be concerned? | no |

| What are varicoceles? | testicular veins that are prone to backpressure buildup leading to dilation and varicosities |
| What is a good description of varicoceles? | bag of worms |
| What may cause scrotal enlargement? | testicular torsion, varicocele, hydrocele, spermatocele, hernia and tumor |
| What is hydrocele? | Fluid accumulation in the tunica vaginalis, fluid is confied to the scrotum. It is transilluminate |

| What is prepuce? | retractable covering for the genitals such as the foreskin or clitoral hood |
| What is phimosis? | inability to retract the foreskin from the glans penis |
| What is balanitis? | inflammation of the glans only |
| What is balanoposthitis? | inflamation of glans and prepuce |

| What is pneumaturia? | air bubbles or gas in the urine stream |
| What is fecaluria? | fecal material in the urine |
| A twelve year old with right testicular pain presents with his left testicle being lower than his right. What does he most likely have? | torsion of the right testicle |
| What is most common site of prostate cancer? | posterior lobe |
| Whathich lobes generally hypertrophy? | middle and lateral lobes |
| What is PSA? | Prostate specific antigen which is a protein produced by all prostate cells. It increases greatly with prostate cancer |
| What is a grade 1 enlargement of the prostate? | 1-2 cm (3fingers) |
| What is a grade 2 enlargement of the prostate? | 2-3 cm (4 fingers) |
| What si a grade 3 enlargement of the prostate? | 3-4 cm (>4 fingers wide) |
| What is a grade 4 enlargement of theprostate? | >4 cm (most anterior pelvic outlet) |
| What are internal hemorrhoids | varicosities above the ano-rectal junction. Not palpable on rectal exam. No discomfort uless prolapsed, thrombosed, or infected. Bleeding with or without defecation. |
| What are external hemorrhoids? | varicosities below the anorectal junction. Causes itching and bleeding with defecation. Protrude with straining |
