Castration of the undescended teste(s) should be considered for cryptorchid dogs due to the high rate of testicular cancer, especially Sertoli cell tumors. [23] The incidence of testicular cancer is 13.6 times higher in dogs with abdominally retained testicles compared with normal dogs. [19] Testicular torsion is also more likely in retained ...
A ridgling (also spelled ridgeling), [1] or rig, is a cryptorchid; [2] a male animal with one or both testicles undescended, [1] usually describing a ram, bull, or male horse, [3] but cryptorchidism also can be an issue in dogs and cats. [4] Because the heat inside the body is too high for sperm to survive, an undescended testicle is non ...
PMDS Type I is also referred to as hernia uteri inguinalis, which exhibits one descended testis that has also pulled the fallopian tube, and sometimes uterus, through the inguinal canal. [8] The descended testes, fallopian tube and uterus all fall in the same inguinal canal, causing an inguinal hernia. [ 8 ]
The cremasteric reflex may be absent with testicular torsion, upper and lower motor neuron disorders, as well as a spine injury of L1-L2. It can also occur if the ilioinguinal nerve has accidentally been cut during a hernia repair. [4] The cremasteric reflex can be helpful in recognizing testicular emergencies.
Testicle pain, better referred to as scrotal content pain, can be due to a variety of non-organ-threatening causes such as referred pain from a hernia, kidney stone, as mentioned above, or most ...
Undescended testis is found in 4% of full-term infants but only 0.8% of males at the age of 1 year have true cryptorchidism. Although an undescended testis can be found anywhere along the pathway of descent from the retroperitoneum to the scrotum, the inguinal canal is the most common site for an undescended testis.
The lower part persists as the gubernaculum testis ("scrotal ligament"). This ligament secures the testis to the most inferior portion of the scrotum, tethering it in place and limiting the degree to which the testis can move within the scrotum. Cryptorchidism (undescended testes) are observed in INSL3-null male mice.
Venereal granulomata on a dog's penis. A canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT), also known as a transmissible venereal tumor (TVT), canine transmissible venereal sarcoma (CTVS), sticker tumor and infectious sarcoma, is a histiocytic tumor of the external genitalia of the dog and other canines, and is transmitted from animal to animal during mating.
