Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

2.5K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

232
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

424
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection

265
Inspection is the initial step in assessing the cardiovascular system. It involves a detailed visual examination that provides crucial information about a patient's circulatory and cardiac health. This systematic process, conducted from head to toe, helps identify signs of cardiovascular conditions by observing physical appearance, skin and mucous membranes, jugular and carotid pulsations, chest symmetry, and the condition of the extremities.

Assessment of the Mouth

217
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • High-frequency ultrasound is preferred for penile pathology evaluation due to accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and patient comfort.
  • Penile conditions encompass a range of emergent and nonemergent pathologies requiring accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a pictorial review of the sonographic features of various penile pathologies.
  • To illustrate the diagnostic utility of high-frequency ultrasound in evaluating emergent and nonemergent penile conditions.

Main Methods:

  • This is a pictorial review based on diagnostic ultrasound imaging.
  • The review focuses on sonographic findings of specific penile conditions.

Main Results:

  • Sonographic features of penile fracture, spongial tear, and urethral injury are presented.
  • The review covers diverse conditions including priapism, erectile dysfunction, penile abscess, and Mondor disease.

Conclusions:

  • High-frequency ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing a spectrum of penile pathologies.
  • Understanding the sonographic characteristics of these conditions aids in timely and accurate clinical management.
