“…The meaning of this Kurdish word is "to click" and is the forceful bending of the shaft of penis to achieve detumescence. The tunica albuginea is a strong fascia which stretches and thins out to as little as 0.25mm during erection [4,5]. Tear of this tunica albuginea occurs at intra-corporeal pressures of more than 1500mmHg as stated in a study by Jack et al Injury to the Buck's fascia is associated with the "pop/cracking/snapping sound".…”

Fracture of the penis is a misnomer, the cause being rupture of one or both of the tunica albuginea that covers the corpora cavernosa. It usually occurs following sexual intercourse or masturbation. Here we report 2 cases of penile fracture in our institution. Ultrasonography was done which confirmed the diagnosis. In both the cases, the urethra was intact. Exploration with evacuation of the hematoma and repair of the tunica albuginea was done.

Periodontitis, erectile dysfunction, reproductive hormones, and semen quality: A systematic review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background There is increasing evidence that periodontitis may affect male sexual health (MSH) (erectile function, production of sex hormones, and semen quality). However, a limited number of clinical studies demonstrate the association between MSH and periodontitis. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between periodontitis and MSF. Materials and methods A comprehensive systematic review of the published literature in MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases from the earliest available online indexing year until October 2020 was performed, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Keywords related to periodontitis were combined with words describing MSH. Result A total of 19 studies were included and discussed in the systematic review. The number of study participants ranged from 53 to 197,136 individuals, aged between 18 and 95 years (mean age, 41.2 years). Six studies did not report the age of the participants. Out of nine studies, eight found a significant association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and periodontitis. Only three studies evaluated the association between sex hormone levels and periodontitis, and two of these studies showed that patients with periodontitis are expected to exhibit higher levels of testosterone. Finally, out of five studies, two demonstrated a significant association between semen quality and periodontitis. Discussion The findings in this review were limited by the quality and the few available studies. Results from the observational studies might have been affected by recall bias and confounded by cofactors. Conclusion The results of this systematic review revealed a significant association between periodontitis and ED, although the responsible mechanisms remain unclear. The potential associations between sex hormone levels, semen quality, and periodontitis are yet to be demonstrated. In order to improve patient management, dentists and physicians need to be aware of the association between male sexual health problems and periodontitis.

“…Ultrasound detects encasement of the dorsal arteries when they are embedded in the plaque. Cavernosal artery encasement is observed in septal plaques, causing vasculogenic erectile dysfunction [15]. However, it is unreliable in distinguishing between active inflammatory and quiescent stages of the disease [16].…”

Peyronie's disease is a treatable disease. Understanding its pathogenesis is the cornerstone for establishing a treatment plan. When the disease is in the early stage, characterized by presence of pain and tenderness, the treatment is directed against the inflammation process. This can be achieved mainly by oral medications. On the other side, when the disease progress to formation of plaque, the treatment is mainly by intralesional injections, shockwave therapy, and surgery.Methodology: I reviewed articles published in English and indexed in the PubMed®, Embase® and Google Scholar™ databases, and consulted textbooks. Key search terms used were ''Peyronie's disease, Erectile dysfunction, Hourglass deformity, Citoject, Intralesional treatment''. I created a synopsis of relevant articles, including original research studies and reviews. Conclusion:Understanding the pathological background for Peyronie's disease is essential to determine the pertinent treatment option according to patient clinical presentation.

Ultrasound evaluation of the penis

Abstract: Ultrasound is an excellent method for the study of penis. In this article, using a critical review of the literature and teaching files, we present examples of the major findings in the ultrasound routine, focusing on trauma, priapism, Peyronie's disease, and erectile dysfunction.
