uncommon medical condition in which the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis becomes trapped behind the glans penis, and cannot be reduced (pulled back to its normal flaccid position covering the glans).

inspecting scrotum

-ask patient to hold penis out of the way and inspect the scrotal septum


-inspect the anterior and posterior scrotum for any sores or rashes


-skin: lift the scrotum to examine its underside


-rashes, cysts, skin cancers

palpate scrotum

-palpate scrotal contents for noduls, lesions or tenderness


-scrotal contours- swelling, lumps, distended veins(varicocele), crypotorchidism, hydrocele, acute epididymitis, torsion of spermatic cord

expected findings scrotum

-divided into two sacs, sebaceous cysts commonly noted, assymmetry is normal, left usually lower than right


-anterior and posterior skin darker in pigmentation with a rugous or wrinkled surface


-smooth nontender scrotal contents

scrotum palpate

each testis and epididymis between thumb and first two fingers


-each spermatic cord, including the vas deferns, between thumb and fingers from epididymis to the superficial inguinal ring- variocele is an unexpected finding

transillumation of scrotal sac

-done to assess for mass or fluid


-contents do NOT normally transilluminate


-hydroceles and spermatoceles contain fluid and transilluminate


-red glow may indicate hydrocele


-tumours and hernias do not


-use a bright penlight and press light against scrotal sax

hydrocele can mean

congestive heart failure



hydrocele

the accumulation of serous fluid in a body sac.

varicocele

veins become enlarged inside your scrotum

inspection of sacrococcygeal areas

-inspect for surface characteristics and tenderness


expected findings: skin is clear and smooth with no palpable masses or dimpling


unexpected findings: a dimple with an inflamed tuft of hair or a tender palpable cyst in the sacrococcygeal area

inspection of perineal area

-with the patient on his side, spread the buttocks and inspect the perineal area


expected: skin surounding the anus is coarse with darker pigmentation


unexpected: warts, loose sphincter, lesions, hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, or polyps

inspection and palpation of perineal area

-ask patient to "bear down" and inspect the area while the patient is performing the valsalva maneuver

palaption of the perianal area

palpate any abnormal areas on the scarococcygeal and perianal areas, noting lumps or tenderness

palpation of perineal area

place pad of lubricated finger over anus and gently press on the sphincter's edge. wait for the sphincter to relax then insert fingertip into anal canal


-pause and allow patient to adjust to your giner, then contiue to insert finger fully - not sphincter tone of the anus by asking patient to squeeze anal muscles around your finger

palpate anus

rotate fingers 180 degrees to examine the posterior and lateral walls of the rectum


-sweep fingers across the anterior and anterolateral walls of the rectum


-note texture and elasticity of the rectal lining. assess for tenderness, induration, irregularities or nodules



prostate exam

-inform patient that you're going to examine his prostate gland and that they may feel an urge to urinate when it is palpated


-sweep fingers over prostate gland(found anteriorly through rectal wall)


-identify lateral lobes and median sulcus

prostate

-note size, shape, surface, mobility, consistency of prostate, and identify any nodules or tenderness



normal prostate is:

-rubbery


-smooth


-nontender


-with a prominient median sulcus

note colour of any

fecal matter on the glove, test it for occult blood

femoral hernias

similar to inguinal hernias, but they protrude through the femoral canal which lies below the inguinal ligament

check for hernia- inspect

person standing and bear down, cough to ilicit bulging



check for hernia- palapte

if mass present, listen for bowel sounds, rule out incarcerted or strangulated hernia, gently try to reduce it unless it is incarcerated

indrect inguinal hernia

takes path from the abdomen, through teh inguinal canal, into the scrotal sac


-can be reduced into the scrotum because it goes back into the inguinal canal
