Herein, we extend our knowledge by describing formation of the Urethra human urethra within the glans penis as well as development of the prepuce.

As the closing zipper completes fusion of the urethral folds within the penile shaft to form a tubular urethra (~ 13 weeks), canali- zation of the urethral plate continues in proximal to distal fashion into the glans penis to directly form the urethra within the glans without forming an open urethral groove. Initially, the urethral plate is attached ventrally to the epidermis via an epithelial seam, which is remodeled and eliminated, thus establishing me- senchymal confluence ventral to the glanular urethra. The morphogenetic remodeling involves the strategic expression of cytokeratin 7, FoxA1 and uroplakin in endodermal epithelial cells as the tubular glanular urethra forms.

  • Urethrectomy.Pdf
    Information about your procedure from The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) This leaflet contains evidence-based information about your proposed urological procedure. We have consulted specialist surgeons during its preparation, so that it represents best practice in UK urology. You should use it in addition to any advice already given to you. To view the online version of this leaflet, type the text below into your web browser: http://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Urethrectomy.pdf Key Points • This involves removing the male urethra (waterpipe) because of the risk of cancer (or future cancer development) • It is usually done through an incision in your perineum (behind your scrotum) • You will get some temporary bruising around the incision and along your penis • You may get some temporary discharge from the tip of your penis until everything heals What does this procedure involve? Removing the whole of your urethra (waterpipe), from the tip of your penis to your prostate gland, through a small incision in your perineum (the skin beneath your scrotum). Bladder cancer can sometimes re-appear in your urethra after cystectomy (removal of your bladder) and construction of an ileal conduit. Because you no longer pass urine through your urethra after your bladder has been removed, you will not get bleeding in your urine to warn us that your cancer may have recurred in your urethra. Although this is rare, we sometimes advise that it should be removed to prevent the problem presenting later. Your surgeon and team will advise you if you need to have your urethra removed at the same time as your cystectomy.

  • The Tanner Stages
    Vermont Department of Health Health Screening Recommendations for Children & Adolescents The Tanner Stages Because the onset and progression of puberty are so variable, Tanner has proposed a scale, now uniformly accepted, to describe the onset and progression of pubertal changes (Fig. 9- I Preadolescent 24). Boys and girls are rated on a 5 point scale. Boys are rated for genital development and no sexual hair pubic hair growth, and girls are rated for breast development and pubic hair growth. Pubic hair growth in females is staged as follows (Fig 9-24, B): II Sparse, pigmented, long, straight, • Stage I (Preadolescent) - Vellos hair develops over the pubes in a manner not greater than that over mainly along labia the anterior wall. There is no sexual hair. and at base of penis • Stage II - Sparse, long, pigmented, downy hair, which is straight or only slightly curled, appears. These hairs are seen mainly along the labia. This stage is difficult to quantitate on black and white photographs, particularly when pictures are of fair-haired subjects. III • Stage III - Considerably darker, coarser, and curlier sexual hair appears. The hair has now spread Darker, coarser, curlier sparsely over the junction of the pubes. • Stage IV - The hair distribution is adult in type but decreased in total quantity. There is no spread to the medial surface of the thighs. • Stage V - Hair is adult in quantity and type and appears to have an inverse triangle of the classically IV Adult, but feminine type. There is spread to the medial surface of the thighs but not above the base of the decreased inverse triangle.

  • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
    Uroformation Prostate Surgery Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) The Uroformation series is a co-operative venture in patient centered urological information. June 2014 What is the Prostate? The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut that is only present in men. It is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine flows from the bladder and out through the penis. The prostate gland contributes to the seminal fluid produced during ejaculation, and has an important function in fertility. 1 What is a TURP? A transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an operation to treat urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. When the prostate tissue enlarges, it squeezes inward on the urethra causing some or all of the following symptoms: The need to urinate often (frequency) The need to urinate in a hurry (urgency) The need to get up at night to urinate (nocturia) Difficulty starting urination (hesitancy) Difficulty stopping urination (terminal dribbling) Weak stream Incomplete emptying of the bladder Urinary retention (complete obstruction of the urethra, presents with severe pain and the inability to pass urine) Retention is tem- porarily managed with the insertion of a catheter to drain the blad- der Why might I need a TURP operation? To improve urine flow and bladder emptying To treat acute retention and complete blockages To prevent kidney damage caused by pressure forcing urine back towards the kidneys To reduce bladder infections and bladder stones caused by poor bladder emptying In some cases, the operation is necessary to prevent complications.

  • BENEFITS of TUCKING Health and Safety Tips
    BENEFITS OF TUCKING THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT Tucking involves hiding external genitalia so that they are not visible in tight clothing. Tucking is a do-it-yourself option for changing your appearance so that it matches your gender expression. You might tuck to feel more at ease in your body, TUCKING to feel more comfortable in your clothing, or to help others read your gender correctly. Health and safety tips: • If you are new to tucking, start by tucking for shorter periods of time. Give yourself lots of time to practice. It’s hard to learn a new skill when you feel rushed or stressed. Take a break between attempts. • Try switching between different ways of tucking. • You may find that tucking gets easier with practice or after being on hormones for awhile. • Tucking shouldn’t be overly uncomfortable. If you feel faint, nausea, or pain, take a break and try a different way of tucking. • After untucking, check for irritated skin, sores or rashes. Allow skin to heal before using products on it again. • Whenever reasonable, stay hydrated. Avoiding drinking and peeing can lead to health problems. • Use body powder in warm creases (thighs, buttocks, genital skin, etc.) to prevent skin chaffing and infection. • Tucking regularly can affect fertility. Some people consider banking sperm or limiting how often they tuck gonads inside the body. • See a clinician if you experience: aching, tingling or numbness that continues even when you aren’t tucking; blood in urine or orgasmic fluid; a feeling of inflammation or infection inside the genitals; skin rash or sores; pain with urination; or pain in the bladder or lower back.
