Scrotum

Varicocele Pain Relief Overview Varicocele is an abnormal swelling of the veins that normal supply blood to the reproductive glands inside the scrotum that is the sack of skin that holds the testicles. This type is disorder leads to blockage of blood, which is the main cause of male infertility since it leads to reduced sperm quality and also less sperm production. It is treatable and heals permanently especially after the use of natural products. These products have very minor/ no side effects which can be managed in case they occur. Normally, if you have veins inside the scrotum that are healthy, then one-way valves allow the flow of blood from the scrotum and testicles back to the heart, but in a situation that you have a varicocele, the…

Prior to reading the article, I had never thought much about the external placement, or lack thereof, of the male scrotum. I was sure that it had always been that way, and there was no significant meaning for its placement. However, after reading the article, “The Scrotum is Nuts”, I agree more with the hypothesis of Michael Chance and Roland Frey, “The Galloping Hypothesis”. It is hypothesized that the external placement of the testes was due to the increase abdominal pressure from movement by…

1. Describe the function of the scrotum in protecting the testes from temperature fluctuations. Scrotum is an external sex organ. The scrotum is a pouch like structure made up of skin. It has 2 main functions. It protects the testis and maintains 2-3oc temperature lower than body temperature, which is very important for spermatogenesis. The scrotum also contains numerous blood vessels and nerves. The cremaster muscle present in the scrotum contracts and pulls scrotum closer to the body whenever…

Varicocele A varicocele is a swelling of veins in the scrotum. The scrotum is the sac that contains the testicles. Varicoceles can occur on either side of the scrotum but are more common on the left side. They occur most often in teenage boys and young men. In most cases, varicoceles are not a serious problem. Many are small and painless and do not require treatment. Tests may be done to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment may be needed if: • A varicocele is large, causes a lot of pain, or…

One of the most common genital problems in boys, is Cryptorchidism. Cryptorchidism is a male reproductive disorder in which one or both testes fail to develop into the scrotum before birth. Many people recognize the term, Cryptorchidism, because it literally means “hidden testicle.” Testicles are two ball-shaped organs located behind the penis inside the scrotum. Before birth, a baby’s testicles should descend into the scrotum, during fetal development. However, with an undescended testicle, the…

Introduction Testicular torsion is a twisting of the spermatic cord, artery, and vein that go to the testicle. This twisting cuts off the blood supply to everything in the sac that contains the testes, blood vessels, and part of the spermatic cord (scrotum). Testicular torsion is most commonly seen in newborn and adolescent males. It can also occur before birth. Testicular torsion requires emergency treatment. The testicle usually can be saved if the torsion is treated within 6 hours of onset.…

Conclusion: Patent processus vaginalis should always be kept in mind in evaluating patient with perforated appendicitis who develops acute scrotum, regardless the age of patients. We report a rare case of an adult patient who developed scrotal abscess as a complication of a perforated appendicitis. Keyword: patent processus vaginalis, perforated appendicitis, scrotal abscess, ultrasonography Background Patent processus vaginalis (PPV) may change the natural history of appendicitis, one of…

collection of fluid inside the scrotum. This causes one of the testicles to look larger than the other. Most often, hydroceles are found in newborn boys. This finding is especially seen in those who are born prematurely. Normally, the testicle in a healthy neonate is found within a closed serous covering called the tunica vaginalis of the scrotum. It is basically a serous pouch that is derived from the peritoneum’s processus vaginalis. The origin of the tunica vaginalis creates a potential…

If you are looking for the most effective and safest birth control, a vasectomy is your best choice. A vasectomy is a minor surgery for sterilizing a man. It simply involves blocking or cutting the vas deferens (the tubes that transport sperms from the testicles). Before undertaking this procedure, you should be sure that you will not need kids anymore. Its reversal is quite expensive and has no guarantees. How is it done? Usually, it is done in a surgery center. The doctor gives anesthetic to…

Testicular cancer is a tumor that is located in the scrotum underneath a mans intromittent organ. Testicular cancer is very rare there are fever than 20,000 cases of this type of cancer each year in the United States. The testicles produce male sex hormones and sperm for reproduction. Testicular cancer is most common cancer in American males in the ages of 15 to 35. Testicular cancer is highly treatable, even if the cancer has spread beyond the testicles. Regular testicular self-examinations…
