Study Notes
Male Genitourinary and Prostate Exams
- The presentation covers male genitalia and prostate exams.
- Objectives include describing male genitalia and prostate anatomy, performing basic exams, recognizing abnormalities, matching findings with diagnoses, documenting findings, understanding screening guidelines, and explaining shared decision-making processes.
- Anatomy review diagrams show pertinent anatomical structures like the vas deferens, blood vessels, corpora cavernosum, corpus spongiosum, urethra, corona, glans, prepuce, urethral meatus, tunica vaginalis, scrotum,testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, seminal vesicle, ejaculatory duct, and bulb of the penis. Additional diagrams detail the inguinal ligament, site of femoral canal, femoral artery, femoral vein, internal inguinal ring, inguinal canal, external inguinal ring, and the pubic tubercle.
- General approach includes patient positioning (standing or sitting), exposing only examined areas at one time to ensure patient comfort. (Example: supine), using drapes appropriately for the exam, utilizing gloves, and reviewing Tanner staging for younger patients.
- A chaperone should be present.
- A normal response includes an erection. If present, the exam should continue calmly. Reasons for refusal should be explored.
- Key components involve inspecting skin, prepuce, and glans, urethral meatus, shaft of the penis, and scrotum. Key components involve palpation of the shaft, scrotum, including each testis epididymis, spermatic cord, and evaluating for various hernias (inguinal, femoral).
- Specific abnormalities of the penis discussed include ulcers, scars, nodules, inflammation, discharge, induration, lesions, swelling, veins, bulging masses, asymmetry.
- Additional penis information includes methods for inspecting the skin, prepuce, and glans including looking for excoriations, ulcers, Scars, and nodules and any abnormal discharge. Inspecting the urethral meatus and inspecting for signs of inflammation around the area, and inspecting the skin of the penis.
- The prepuce should be examined for retractability using techniques to examine the underlying areas for any signs of inflammation. The differences between phimosis, paraphimosis, and smegma are described.
- Examine the glans using these techniques for finding any abnormalities
- The location of the urethral meatus should be noted, including potential abnormalities like hypospadias and epispadias. Checking for urethral discharge using particular techniques
- Palpating the shaft of the penis, assessing for any induration. Inspecting for abnormalities like Peyronie's disease.
- Palpation of the scrotum involves lifting, inspecting for lesions, scars, and pubic hair. Identifying possible signs of sexually transmitted infections [STIs] such as condyloma or ulcers from herpes, chancroid, syphilis and lymphogranuloma venereum.
- Palpating scrotal contours: Inspect for swelling, lumps, veins, bulging masses, or asymmetry.
- Additional palpation techniques include one-handed and two-handed techniques for assessing each testicle and epididymis, and for the spermatic cords.
- Evaluating for possible testicular cancer and documenting any unusual findings are discussed.
- Evaluation for hydrocele is described, focusing on the characteristics of a nontender, fluid-filled mass within the tunica vaginalis.
- Transillumination can be used to evaluate scrotal masses for cysts. If a mass is not reducible then it is possible that surgical intervention is required.
- Palpation of the spermatic cord and determining if there is an enlargement suggestive of a varicocele.
- Assessing for inguinal hernias involves inspection and palpation specific techniques to evaluate for direct and indirect inguinal hernias and femoral hernias (including locating the inguinal ligament, external inguinal ring, and internal inguinal ring). If swelling is noted, determining whether it disappears or returns to the abdomen by itself (reducible vs. non-reducible).
- Documentation examples show how to document findings from male genitalia examinations. For example, the different types of documentation depending on whether the patient is circumcised or uncircumcised.
- Exam of the prostrate is covered. This includes orientation, anatomy review and tips, and key components. Examples include assessing anal sphincter tone, palpation of the prostate gland (with a focus on size, shape, mobility, consistency, noting any nodules, or tenderness), techniques to identify lateral lobes, median sulcus, and surrounding tissues.
- Prostate examination findings, such as possible acute bacterial prostatitis and the characteristics of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. A summary of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and other relevant guidelines for prostate cancer screening. Shared decision-making in prostate cancer screening.
- Patient instructions for testicular self-exam are provided. Examples of documentation for prostate findings are included.
- Thursday's skills lab information are presented as well, including the information on accessing relevant resources and lab schedules, information on review and materials.
