developmental failure of fusion of the urogenital folds and incomplete formation of penile urethrea

dont correct with surgery

attaches penis to prepuce and should go at pubery

cut it

41
Q

what is phimosis?

A

inability of the penis to protude beyond the perpubital orifice

surgical enlargement

42
Q

What is seen with benign prostatic hypertrophy?

treat? what is seen microscopically?

A

dyschezia , dysuria / haematuria
castrate
anti-androgens , synthetic progestagen, faecal softners

often older entire dogs

see papillary proliferation of the glandular tissue

43
Q
causes
signs
diagnosis 
treatment
of prostatitis / prostatic abscess
A

cause : UTI or haemotogenous
signs : purulent discharge, dysuria, pain, vom/dia, pu/pd, sepsis
diagnosis: PE, ultrasound, aspirate, urine analysis, rectal exam
treat: train prostate and give ABx

44
Q

what is the difference between a prostatic / parenchymal cyst and a para/periprostatic cyst?

A

parenchymal within the prostate

periprostatic attached to prostate

45
Q

what is different about prostatic neoplasia
signs
diagnose
treat

A
  • as common in neutered as entire
  • signs : wt loss, hind lameness, dyschezia / dysuria, hind limb oedema
    diagnose: biopsy
    treat: pallatively, prostatectomy, drain and omentalise

anything infecting the peritoneum

48
Q

high scrotal temperature
low testicular blood flow
Vit A or Zinc defeciency

from all 3 germ layers and can have skin, teeth, hair, nervous tissue etc

young horses

testicular neoplasia

tumour from spermatogonia

dogs over 7 YO , especially if cryptorchid
