The penile raphe is a visible line or ridge of tissue that runs on the ventral (urethral) side of the human penis beginning from the base of the shaft and ending in the prepuce between the penile frenulum. [1] [2] The line is typically darker than the rest of the shaft skin, even though its shape and pigmentation may vary greatly among males. [1]
Peyronie's disease is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis.Specifically, scar tissue forms in the tunica albuginea, the thick sheath of tissue surrounding the corpora cavernosa, causing pain, abnormal curvature, erectile dysfunction, indentation, loss of girth and shortening.
Concealed penis is due to a lack of skin or an inelasticity of the penile skin and a weak penile skin fixation or excessive suprapubic fat, the penile webbed is characterized by a ventral fold of skin that connects the distal shaft and a penoscrotum, and a penis which is tucked away with the scar tissue that exists. Concealed penis is an ...
The ventral surface is marked by the penile raphe. The base of the shaft is supported by the suspensory ligament, which is attached to the pubic symphysis. [5] Epithelium of the penis consists of the shaft skin, the foreskin (prepuce), and the preputial mucosa on the inside of it. The foreskin covers and protects the glans and shaft. The ...
These injuries could be mild (e.g., skin chafing) or a more serious condition like Peyronie’s disease, or scar tissue buildup in the shaft of your penis that can result from using too much ...
Red bumps on the penis that are associated with this condition are caused by HPV. The condition, says Dr. Williams, “is marked by red-brown lesions on the glans or shaft, usually in circumcised men.
The perineal raphe is a visible line or ridge of tissue on the body that extends from the anus through the perineum to the scrotum (male) or the vulva (female). It is found in both males and females, arises from the fusion of the urogenital folds, and is visible running medial through anteroposterior, to the anus where it resolves in a small knot of skin of varying size.
Frenulum breve, or short frenulum, is a condition in which the frenulum of the penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the foreskin and helps contract it over the glans, is too short and thus restricts the movement of the foreskin. The frenulum should normally be sufficiently long and supple to allow for ...
