A

urethral strictures

- scarring that narrows the tube restricting the flow of urine from the bladder

  • Acute sexually transmitted infection
  • Most common cause of genital ulcers
  • Caused by haemophilus ducreyi
18
Q

Describe the clinical presentation of chancroid?

A
  • Tender erythematous papule involving glans and prepuce or penile skin
  • Later irregular ulcer with yellow grey exudate at base
  • Draining lymphnodes (inguinal) enlarge and may ulcerate also
  • Heals by scarring
19
Q

What is Granuloma inguinale/Donovanosis?

A
  • Chronic inflammatory disease
  • Sexually transmitted
  • Caused by Calymmatobacterium donovani
20
Q

Describe the clinical presentation of Granuloma inguinale/Donovanosis?

A
  • Begin as raised papular lesion
  • Ulcer with abundant granulation tissue forming a protuberant soft painless mass
  • Scars with strictures can complicate disease
21
Q

What is lymphogranuloma venereum?

A
  • Caused by Chlamydia trachomatis

- Sexually transmitted

22
Q

Describe the clinical presentation of lymphogranuloma venereum?

A
  • Chronic ulcerative disease and urethritis
  • Urethritis: Mucopurulent discharge(pus)
  • Skin: initially small often unnoticed papule on skin
  • With growth of organisms draining lymphnodes become swollen and and rupture
23
Q

What is syphilis caused by?

A

caused by Treponema pallidum

- Genital syphilis usually manifests with symptoms in primary syphilis

24
Q

What is the clinical presentation of syphilis?

A
  • 3 weeks after contact: single firm, non tender red raised lesion of penile skin or glans
  • Chancre heals even without therapy
  • But spirochetes are in blood and lymphatics
25
Q

What condition does candida cause?

A

balanoposthitis

26
Q

What is the cause of candida?

A
  • Poor hygiene in uncircumcised males

- With build up of smegma: sloughed epithelial cells and debris which is a good medium for candida proliferation

27
Q

What is condylomata acuminatum?

A 
Benign tumour (genital warts) caused by Human papilloma virus(HPV)
- Low risk HPV 6 and 11
28
Q

Describe the clinical presentation of condylomata acuminatum?

A
  • Occur on skin, inner surface of prepuce
  • Single or multiple pedunculated, papillary excrescences
  • There is no dysplasia
29
Q

Benign tumours are caused by?

A

commonly condylomata acuminatum

- Preneoplastic conditions

30
Q

What is the common cancer of the penis?

A

squamous cell carcinoma

31
Q

Describe squamous cell carcinoma of the penis?

A
  • Usually preceeded by preneoplastic proliferation (dysplasias)
  • Mild, moderate, full thickness dysplasia
  • Full thickness dysplasia also called Bowen’s disease.
  • Associations: High risk HPV 16 and 18
