Search Results - Testicle

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The testicle (from Latin testiculus , diminutive of testis, meaning "witness" [of virility],[1] plural testes) is the male generative gland in animals. This article will concentrate on mammalian testicles unless otherwise noted.

The etymology of the word is somewhat colorfully based on Roman law. The aforementioned Latin word "testis", witness, was used in the firmly established legal principle "Testis unus, testis nullus" (one witness [equals] no witness), meaning that testimony by any one person in court was to be disregarded unless corroborated by the testimony of at least another. This led to the common practice of producing two witnesses, bribed to testify the same way in cases of lawsuits with ulterior motives. Since such "witnesses" always came in pairs, the meaning was accordingly extended, often in the diminutive (testiculus, testiculi).

Like the ovaries (to which they are homologous), testicles are components of both the reproductive system (being gonads) and the endocrine system (being endocrine glands). The respective functions of the testicles are;

Both functions of the testicle, sperm-forming and endocrine, are under control of gonadotropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary

1. Romanian Doctor is Fined After Severing Penis
July 28, 2008

A Romanian me will not longer have to worry about things like penis enhancement, stretching or exercise after a doctor accidentally severed his penis is an act of criminal negligence. A court awarded the man reparations. A Romanian man will not have to worry about penis stretching, exercise or other forms of enhancement for an indefinite amount of time. A Romanian doctor has been ordered to pay $795,000 to a patient whose penis was accidentally severed during an operation. Dr. Naum Ciomu made a negligent error during a routine testicle exercise and severed the penis rather than making an ... (read more)

2. Epididymal Obstruction
June 03, 2008

Sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules and is transferred to the epididymis. This is a tube coiled inside of the scrotum. This duct is actually about twenty feet long, but is coiled very tightly and runs behind the testes, forming a duct. This duct is a passage for sperm to travel down as they grow and mature before they are expelled. When this duct becomes blocked, it is referred to as an epididymal obstruction. Epididymal obstructions prevent the sperm from ever making it to the ejaculate. Obstructions can occur on one side or both sides. One sided blockages normally cause a man to ... (read more)

3. Mumps - Sings and Symptoms of Mumps
May 07, 2008

Mumps in adolescent and adult males may also result in the development of orchitis, an inflammation of the testicles. Usually one testicle becomes swollen and painful about 7 to 10 days after the parotids swell. This is accompanied by a high fever, shaking chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain that can sometimes be mistaken for appendicitis if the right testicle is affected. After 3 to 7 days, testicular pain and swelling subside, usually at about the same time that the fever passes. In some cases, both testicles are involved. Even with involvement of both testicles, sterility... (read more)

4. Defend your Manhood
April 23, 2008

A man’s reproductive organs can encounter a variety of technical difficulties. Consider this your troubleshooting guide. Men are a little uncomfortable about their genitals. Girls in skirts and undies rock, but most guys wouldn’t dare don a kilt. R-rated movies showcase female pink parts, but they cover Borat’s phallus with a black rectangle. And while women have an entire area of medicine dedicated to the health of their private regions, if it wasn’t for the hernia check, men would hardly drop in at the doc’s office. The result? When it comes to caring for some of our most critical ... (read more)

5. Detailed Information on Testicle
January 18, 2008

The testicle is the male generative gland in animals. The testicles are the male sex glands. The 2 small glands lie in a pouch of skin behind the penis called the scrotal sac, or scrotum. The testicles produce and store sperm, and they are also the body's main source of male hormones. These hormones control the development of the reproductive organs and other male characteristics, such as body and facial hair, low voice, and wide shoulders. They usually move down into the scrotum just before or just after birth. An undescended testicle is one that did not move down into the scrotum. Undescende... (read more)

6. Varicocele Surgery Options
September 13, 2006

There are three types of surgery and one so called “non surgical” procedure for the repair of a varicocele. The three surgeries all involve surgical ligation, i.e. surgery to tie off the defective veins. The non-surgical procedure blocks the defective veins. New veins will then grow to replace these veins. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. I. Varicocelectomy (Conventional Open Surgery) In a conventional varicocelectomy the doctor makes a two or three inch incision below the groin area or in the abdomen. He goes in and ties off the offendi... (read more)

7. One in Seven Men Has a Varicocele. What is it?
September 08, 2006

If you have a swelling on one or both sides of your scrotum, you might have a varicocele. So what is a varicocele? I’ll start with the pronunciation. Imagine you are on an iceberg with a seal. You shiver as you try to say “Very cold, seal” and it comes out “Very co, seal.” A varicocele is basically one or more swollen veins in the scrotum. When the spermatic veins that lead upward from the testicles toward the heart become abnormally swollen, the one-way valves inside the veins fail and it becomes difficult for blood to be pumped uphill against gravity. Normally the bl... (read more)

8. How to Enlarge Your Testicle Stretching
February 13, 2006

Many men wonder if it may be possible to enlarge their testicles through testicle stretching. Big testicles hanging under the penis are taken as a sign of manliness, power and virility, which is why men like both their penis and testicles on the large side. The scrotum is an elastic sac that stretches or shrinks to accommodate bigger or smaller testicles. It also goes up and down in order to protect the testicles or to facilitate spermatogenesis and ejaculation. As men grow older, the testicles start shrinking, much to the embarrassment of some. However, the scrotum can be made to a... (read more)
