Testicle

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 process stops or is late in developing. The most significant symptom that a baby boy will present is not being able to see or feel the testicles where it’s supposed to be. It is common that some people will confuse it with retractile testicle, which is typically normal in boys. A retractile testicle is when the…

In 1942, a doctor named Harry Kleinfelter, working in a general hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, documented abnormal symptoms in males that had not been cited before. Dr. Kleinfelter was treating males suffering from undersized testicles, gynecomastia, incomplete puberty, reduced body and facial hair, as well as other sexual developmental issues such as infertility, hypospadias, and cryptorchidism. The condition was named Kleinfelter’s Syndrome, though what brought about these symptoms was…

Summary Heat stress has shown to be detrimental to male reproduction, affecting the testicles and spermatogenesis. In 2010, a study was conducted in Iran using male lambs which were exposed to chronic heat stress. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of moderate and high temperatures on testicular structures and on testosterone and cortisol concentrations in the developing ram lambs. Twenty fall born ram lambs were randomly assigned to a group: either to an outdoor heat…

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…

Me, My Sex, and I Me, My Sex and I was an enlightening documentary about extraordinary people that deal with some variation of DSD ( disorders of sexual development ). DSD covers a multitude of sexual variations and disorders. An example of what a disorder might look like would be a baby born that looks like a rosy cheeked baby girl on the exterior, but has male genetics. The same applies to a baby born looking like a bouncing baby boy, but has internal female anatomy. Starting at conception…

The sperm cell makes it journey through the body to make it to the egg. This article discus the journey this sperm cell will make to get to the egg to fertilize it. It starts with talking about the cell and how it works. As it says in the article “The sperm starts out as a round, immobile cell. An important structure, the "acrosomal body," that will eventually develop highly erosive enzymes--able to dissolve the membranes around other cells--is made by Sertoli cells at the newly-developed head…

external abnormalities • With both hands examine each testicle. It is not normal to feel pain whilst gently rolling the testicle, if this occurs, please contact your GP. • Behind the testicle there is a soft, tube-like structure called the epididymis, If you find a lump in the epididymis do not be alarmed as it is not a suspicious lump and majority of lumps found here are not abnormal. Lumps found on the sides or the front of a testicle may be cancerous and you should contact your GP as soon as…

Introuction&definition Testicular cancer Testicular cancer is Cancer in the male organs that make male hormones and sperm (testicles). Most testicular cancers start in cells that make sperm. These cells are called germ cells. The two main types of testicular germ cell cancers are seminomas and nonseminomas. Seminomas grow and spread slowly and respond to radiation therapy. Nonseminomas grow and spread more quickly than seminomas. Testicular cancer affects the testicles and it can spread…

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.…

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…
