Q

what is the function of the scrotum?

A
  • protective covering for the testes, epididymis, and vas deferens
  • helps to maintain the cooler-than-body temperature necessary for production of sperm (less than 37°C).

44
an undescended testicle, this also suggests absence of testis
cryptorchidism
45
**alleviation of scrotal pain** by lifting of the testicle and is suggestive of the diagnosis of acute epididymitis.
Prehn’s sign
46
is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds the testicles (scrotum).
Varicocele
47
What examination will you perform if there is an abnormal mass in the scrotum during IA?
Transillumination
48
How do you do the transillumination?
Darken the room and shine a light from the back of the scrotum through the mass. Look for a red glow.
49
is a cystic accumulation of sperm that contains fluid typically arising from the head of the epididymis.
Spermatocele
50
What is the difference between incarcerated hernia and strangulated hernia?
The protruding tissue such as portion of intestines become trapped within the hernia sac. While the SH the blood supply to the trapped tissue is blocked or completely cut off
51
What is valsalva maneuver
an effort to exhale without letting air escape through the nose or mouth. People often use a Valsalva maneuver during some common activities, such as straining to have a bowel movement or blowing a stuffy nose.
52
If the rectum drops out of its normal place within the body and pushes out of the anal opening
Rectal prolapse
53
A peritoneal protrusion into the rectum,
Rectal shelf
54
A swollen, tender prostate may indicate
Acute prostatis
55
What is the indication of : black stool : gray or tan : yellow : blood
- upper gastrointestinal bleeding - lack of bile pigment - steatorrhea (increased fat content) - cancer of the rectum or colon
56
A sign of primary syphilis (a sexually transmitted infection [STI]) that spontaneously regresses. May be misdiagnosed as herpes.
SYPHILITIC CHANCRE
57
Clusters of pimple-like, clear vesicles that erupt and become ulcers.
HERPES PROGENITALIS
58
Single or multiple, moist, fleshy papules. • Painless, STI caused by the human papillomavirus.
Genital warts
59
Foreskin is so tight that, once retracted, it cannot be returned back over the glans.
Paraphimosis
60
Appears as hardened nodule or ulcer on the glans. Occurs primarily in uncircumcised men.
CANCER OF THE GLANS PENIS
61
Urethral meatus is located underneath the glans (ventral side). This condition is a congenital defect. A groove extends from the meatus to the normal location of the urethral meatus.
HYPOSPADIAS
62
Foreskin is so tight that it cannot be retracted over the glans.
Phimosis
63
urethral meatus is located on the top of the glans (dorsal side); occurs rarely. This condition is a congenital defect.
Epispadias
64
Collection of serous fluid in the scrotum, outside the testes within the tunica vaginalis.
Hydrocele
65
if there is blood in the scrotum, it will not transilluminate and is called a
Hematocele
66
Initially a small, firm, nontender nodule on the testis.
Testicular tumor
67
A loop of bowel protrudes into the scrotum to create what is known as an indirect inguinal hernia.
Scrotal hernia
68
Failure of one or both testicles to descend into scrotum. Scrotum appears undeveloped and testis cannot be palpated. Causes increased risk of testicular cancer.
CRYPTORCHIDISM
69
Infection of the epididymis. Client usually complains of sudden pain. Scrotum appears enlarged, reddened, and swollen; tender epididymis is palpated. Usually associated with prostatitis or bacterial infection.
EPIDIDYMITIS
70
Inflammation of the testes, associated frequently with mumps
Orchitis
71
Abnormal dilation of veins in the spermatic cord. Client may complain of discomfort and testicular heaviness. Tortuous veins are palpable and feel like a soft, irregular mass or “a bag of worms,” which collapses when the client is supine. Infertility may be associated with this condition.
Varicocele
72
Very painful condition caused by twisting of spermatic cord.
TORSION OF SPERMATIC CORD
73
Sperm-filled cystic mass located on epididymis.
Spermatocele
74
Bowel herniates through internal inguinal ring and remains in the inguinal canal or travels down into the scrotum (scrotal hernia). This is the most common type of hernia, It may occur in adults but is more frequent in children.
INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA
75
It is less common, mostly occur in men older than 40 tears old. Bowel herniates from behind and through the external inguinal ring. It rarely travels down into the scrotum.
DIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA
76
Bowel herniates through the femoral ring and canal. It never travels into the scrotum, and the inguinal canal is empty. This is the least common type of hernia. It occurs mostly in women
Femoral Hernia
77
is a cavity of pus, caused by infection in the skin around the anal opening. It causes throbbing pain and is red, swollen, hard, and tender.
Perianal Abscess
78
These splits in the tissue of the anal canal are caused by trauma. A swollen skin tag (“sentinel tag”) is often present below the fissure on the anal margin. They cause intense pain, itching, and bleeding.
Anal Fissure
79
This occurs when the mucosa of the rectum protrudes out through the anal opening. It may involve only the mucosa or the mucosa and the rectal wall
rectal Prolapse
80
This congenital disorder is characterized by a small dimple or cyst/sinus that contains hair. It is located midline in the sacrococcygeal area and has a palpable sinus tract.
Pilonidal cyst
81
These soft structures are rather common and occur in varying sizes and numbers. There are two types: pedunculated (on a stalk) and sessile (on the mucosal surface).
rectal Polyps
82
a is usually asymptomatic until it is quite advanced. may feel like a firm nodule, an ulcerated nodule with rolled edges, or, as it grows, a large, irregularly shaped, fixed, hard nodule.
rectal Cancer
83
The prostate is swollen, tender, firm, and warm to the touch, caused by bacterial infection

84
The prostate is enlarged, smooth, firm, and slightly elastic. The median sulcus may not be palpable. It is common in men older than 50 years.
