Diseases of the Testes

Back 1

cryptorchidism
hydrocele
testicular torsion
testicular cancer

Front 2

Cryptorchidism:
Incidence:?

Back 2

means hidden testis (not in scrotum)
30% in premature males 1-3% of newborns

Front 3

Cryptoorchidism
Etiology:
Problems:
Treatment:

Back 3

:unknown may be hormone deficiency
:untreated, infertility or sterility
:will descend in 1st 3 months or surgery is needed

Front 4

Hydrocele:

Back 4

a collection of fluid surrounding the testicle usually contained with processus vaginalis

Front 5

Hydrocele
Etiology:
Problems:
Treatmetn:

Back 5

:open processus vaginalis
:increases size causes pain and the hydrocele my obstruct blood flow
:these may be aspirated but fluid usually reaccumulates. surgery may be needed close off the open processus vaginalis

Front 6

Testicular Torsion

Back 6

twisting of the spermatic cord which usually causes pain, impairment of blood flow and localized swelling. May occur in newborn but most often young boys

Front 7

Testicular Torsion
Problems:
Treatment:

Back 7

:if present for +24hrs survival of the testicle is doubtful due to decreased blood flow
:w/ early detection surgery may be preformed

Front 8

Testicular Cancer

Back 8

although rare these tumors represent the most common solid tumors of men between 20 and 34 years of age

Front 9

Testicular Cancer
3 Stages:

Back 9

1) Localized
2) Spread to lymph nodes
3) away & out to body/organs

Front 10

Testicular Cancer
Etiology:
Problems:

Back 10

:unknown
:pain, infertility, and spread to other organs
:95% of the tumors involve the cells associated w/ the seminiferous tubulues

Front 11

Testicular Cancer
Treatment:

Back 11

Can be complicated
a) following diagnosis removal of the testis and spermatic cord is necessary
b) if cancer has spread, removal of the lymph nodes may be needed
c) radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy may be needed
d) some situations may call for a combination of these measures

Front 12

What do interstial Cells produce?

Back 12

testosterone (responsible for development of secondary sex characteristics and muscle development)

Front 13

Epididymitis

Back 13

inflammation of the epididymis frequently caused by neisseria gonorrhea

Front 14

Gonorrhea

Back 14

one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases

inflammation of the urethra and pain upon urination, pus discharge

scarring in the organ may result in infertility and sterility

Front 15

Prostate

Back 15

this gland secretes a fluid which is primarily alkaline substance used to help neutralize the acidity of the vagina

Front 16

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)

Back 16

enlargement of the prostate

occurs in 80% of males over 60

Front 17

BPH
symptoms:
detection:

Back 17

:prostate enlarges, prostatic urethra constricts, urination becomes painful
:DRE (digital Rectal exam) or TRU (transrectalultrasound)
soft enlarged mass

Front 18

BPH
treatment:

Back 18

overgrowth removed by TURP (transurethral rejection of prostate gland) wire fliament with electrical current.

in severe cases removal of the prostate

Front 19

Prostatic Cancer

Back 19

2nd leading cause of death from cancer in males

Front 20

Prostatic Cancer
detection:

Back 20

DRE (hard solid mass) TRU or biopsy, blood tests

Front 21

Prostatic Cancer
Treatment:

Back 21

depends on the stage

1) it may require radiation therapy
2)Prostatectomy
3)Hormone therapy to block output of testosterone

Front 22

Bulbourethral glands

Back 22

secretes small clear alkaline fluid to lubricate head of penis and neutralize the acid from the urine that may be present in the penile urethra

Front 23

male pseudohermaphroditism

Back 23

inadequate amounts of testosterone or delayed development fo reproductive organs. Results in genitalia that look female
