Menstrual cycle • Day 1-5: Menstrual Phase • Endometrial lining is sloughed off • Day 6-12: Postmenstrual Phase • Estrogen secreted by ovary stimulates the preparation of the lining • Pituitary gland secretes FSH, stimulating maturation of a follicle • Days 13-14: Ovulatory Phase • Days 15-28: Premenstrual Phase • No fertilization – breakdown of uterine endometrium
PATHOLOGY • Penis • Balanitis – inflammation of glans penis • Phimosis – narrowing of the foreskin • Impotence • Testicles • Anorchism – absence of one or more testicles • Cryptorchidism - undescended testis • Epididymitis – inflammation of epididymus • Testitis or Orchitis
Pathology (cont’d) • Sperm count • Azoospermia (a-without, zoo-life) • Oligospermia (olig/o-few) • Prostate gland • Benign prostatic hypertophy (BPH) • Prostate cancer – common cancer, can grow slowly with no symptoms or more aggressively and spread • Prostatitis
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein in the cytoplasm of prostate epithelial cells. It can be detected in the blood of all adult men. The PSA level is increased in men with prostate cancer but can also be increased somewhat in other disorders of the prostate.
