2. Scrotum
Scrotum is cutaneous fibromuscular sac of the testes and associated structures. Situated posteroinferior to the penis and inferior to the pubic symphysis. The bilateral embryonic formation of the
scrotum is indicated by the midline scrotal raphe, which is continous on the ventral surface of penis with
penile raphe. Internally, deep to scrotal raphe, the scrotum is divided into two compartments, one for
each testis, by a prolongation of the dartos fascia, the septum of the scrotum.
Arterial Supply of Scrotum
Anterior scrotal arteries, terminal branches of the external pudendal arteries (from femoral artery),
supply the anterior aspect of the scrotum. Posterior scrotal arteries, terminal branches of the superficial
perineal branches of internal pudendal arteries, supply the posterior aspect. The scrotum also receives
branches from the cremasteric arteries ( branches of the inferior epigastric arteries )
Venous and Lymphatic Drainage
The scrotal veins accompany the arteries, sharing the same names but draining primarily to the external
pudendal veins. Lymphatic vessels from the scrotum carry lymph to the superficial inguinal lymph node.
3. Penis
Penis is the male copulatory organ and provides the common outlet for urine and semen. It consists of a
root, body, and glans.
Penis consists of three cylindrical cavernous bodies of erectile tissue: the paired corpora cavernosa
dorsally and the single corpus spongiosum ventrally.
Each cavernous body has an outer fibrous capsule named tunica albuginea. The corpus spongiosum
contains the spongy urethra.
Root of The Penis
a. Consist of crura, bulb, ischiocavernosus, and bulbospongiosus muscle.
b. Located in superficial perineal pouch.
c. Crura and bulb of the penis have an erectile tissue.
Body of Penis
d. Free pendulous ( menggantung ) part that is suspended from the pubic symphisis.
e. The body of the penis has no muscle.
f. Consist of skin, connective tissue, blood and lymphatic vessels, fascia, the corpora cavernosa,
and corpus spongiosum containing the spongy urethra.
Glans of Penis
g. Expanded from corpus spongiosum.
h. The margin of the glans projects beyond the end of the corpora cavernosa to form corona of the
glans.
i. The neck of glans separate the glans from the body of penis.
The skin of penis is thin, darkly pigmented relative to adjacent skin, and connected to the tunica
albuginea. The suspensory ligament of the penis is a condensation of deep fascia that arises from the
anterior surface of pubic symphisis. The fundiform ligament of the penis is an irregular mass or
condensation of collagen and elastic fibers of the subcutaneous tissue that descends in the middle from
the linea alba interior to the pubic symphisis.
Dorsal arteries of penis run on each side of the deep dorsal vein in the dorsal groove between
the corpora cavernosa. Supplying the fibrous tissue around the corpora cavernosa, the corpus
spongiosum and spongy urethra, and the penile skin.
k. Deep arteries of the penis pierce the crura proximally and run distally near the center of the
corpora cavernosa, supplying the erectile tissue in these structures.
l. Arteries of the bulb of the penis supply the posterior (bulbous) part of the corpus songiosum and
the urethra within it as well as the bulbo-urethral gland.
Glands and Ducts That Produce and Transport Spermatozoa and Seminal Fluid
The glands of the male reproductive system are the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands.
These glands secrete fluids that enter the urethra.
1. Seminal Vesicles
The paired seminal vesicles are saccular glands posterior to the urinary bladder. Each gland has a short duct
that joins with the ductus deferens at the ampulla to form an ejaculatory duct, which then empties into the urethra.
The fluid from the seminal vesicles is viscous and contains fructose, which provides an energy source for the
sperm; prostaglandins, which contribute to the mobility and viability of the sperm; and proteins that cause slight
coagulation reactions in the semen after ejaculation.
2. Prostate
The prostate gland is a firm, dense structure that is located just inferior to the urinary bladder. It is about the
size of a walnut and encircles the urethra as it leaves the urinary bladder. Numerous short ducts from the substance
of the prostate gland empty into the prostatic urethra. The secretions of the prostate are thin, milky colored, and
alkaline. They function to enhance the motility of the sperm.
3. Bulbourethral Glands
The paired bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands are small, about the size of a pea, and located near the base of
the penis. A short duct from each gland enters the proximal end of the penile urethra. In response to sexual
stimulation, the bulbourethral glands secrete an alkaline mucus-like fluid. This fluid neutralizes the acidity of the
urine residue in the urethra, helps to neutralize the acidity of the vagina, and provides some lubrication for the tip
of the penis during intercourse.
4. Seminal Fluid
Seminal fluid, or semen, is a slightly alkaline mixture of sperm cells and secretions from the accessory
glands. Secretions from the seminal vesicles make up about 60 percent of the volume of the semen, with most of the
remainder coming from the prostate gland. The sperm and secretions from the bulbourethral gland contribute only
a small volume.
The volume of semen in a single ejaculation may vary from 1.5 to 6.0 ml. There are usually between 50 to
150 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Sperm counts below 10 to 20 million per milliliter usually present fertility
problems. Although only one sperm actually penetrates and fertilizes the ovum, it takes several million sperm in an
ejaculation to ensure that fertilization will take place.
A. Exocrine component
1. Seminiferous tubules (Place for spermatogenesis process)
- Myoid cells function as muscles that function to pull the spermatozoa that not fully mature go out from
the testes.
- Sertoli cells, pyramid-shape, to spermiogenesis. In sertoli cells, can be found blood-testis barrier to
prevent ASA (anti sperm antibody)
B. Endocrine component

3. Accessories glands
4. Seminal vesicles
5. Prostate Glands
1) The transition zone occupies about 5% of the prostate volume, surrounds the prostatic urethra, and
contains the mucosal glands emptying directly into the urethra.
2) The central zone occupies 25% of the
gland's volume and contains the
submucosal glands with longer ducts.
3) The peripheral zone occupies about
70% of the prostate and contains the
main glands with still longer ducts.
Glands of this area are the most
common location of both inflammation
and cancer.
6. Bulbourethral glands
35 mm in diameter, are located in the urogenital diaphragm and empty into the proximal part of the
penile urethra. Each gland has several lobules with tubuloalveolar secretory units lined by a mucussecreting simple columnar epithelium dependent on testosterone. The septa between lobules contain
smooth muscle cells. During erection the bulbourethral glands, as well as numerous, small, and
histologically similar urethral glands along the urethra, release a clear mucus-like secretion containing
various small carbohydrates, which coats and lubricates the urethral lining in preparation for the
imminent passage of sperm.

HPT AXIS
A major share of the control of sexual functions in both the male
and the female begins with secretion of gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus.
GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to secrete two
gonadotropic hormones: LH and FSH.
LH primary stimulus for the secretion of testosterone by the
testes
FSH stimulates spermatogenesis.
The ending of neurons whose located in the arcuate nuclei of the
hypothalamus release GnRH into the hypothalamic-hypophysial
portal vascular system.
diminishes.The cause of the negative feedback effect on the anterior pituitary is believed to be
secretion by the Sertoli cells of still another hormone called inhibin.
Many psychic factors, feeding especially from the limbic system of the brain into the hypothalamus, can
affect the rate of secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus and therefore can also affect most other
aspects of sexual and reproductive functions in both the male and the female.

1.
The uterine and fallopian tube fluids wash away the various inhibitory factors that suppress sperm activity in the male
genital ducts.
2.
While the spermatozoa remain in the fluid of the male genital ducts, they are continually exposed to many floating
vesicles from the seminiferous tubules containing large amounts of cholesterol. This cholesterol is continually added to
the cellular membrane covering the sperm acrosome, toughening this membrane and preventing release of its
enzymes.
3.
After ejaculation, the sperm deposited in the vagina swim away from the cholesterol vesicles upward into the uterine
cavity, and they gradually lose much of their other excess cholesterol over the next few hours. In so doing, the
membrane at the head of the sperm (the acrosome) becomes much weaker.
4.
The membrane of the sperm also becomes much more per meable to calcium ions, so that calcium now enters the
sperm in abundance and changes the activity of the flagellum, giving it a powerful whiplash motion in c ontrast to its
previously weak undulating motion.
5.
In addition, the calcium ions cause changes in the cellular membrane that covers the leading edge of the acrosome,
making it possible for the acrosome to release its enzymes rapidly and easily as the sperm penetrates the granulosa cell
mass surrounding the ovum, and even more so as it attempts to penetrate the zona pellucida of the ovum itself. Thus,
multiple changes occur during the process of capacitation.Without these, the sperm cannot make its way to th e interior
of the ovum to cause fertilization.
SEMEN ANALYSIS
Purpose and Indication
Evaluate Fertility/Infertility
Evaluate Donor
A. Macroscopic Examination
Liquefaction
Semen will be complete liquefaction within 60 minutes. Normal liquefied semen sample may contain jelly-like
granules which do not liquefy.
Viscosity
After liquefaction, the viscosity of the sample can be estimated by gently aspirating it into a wide-bore
(approximately 1.5 mm diameter) plastic disposable pipette, allowing the semen to drop by gravity and observing
the length of any thread. A normal sample leaves the pipette in small discrete drops. If viscosity is abnormal,the drop
will form a thread more than 2 cm long.
Appearance of the ejacuate
Normal is grey-opalescent appearance, it may appear ess opaque if the sperm concentration is very low. If the
colour is red (haemospermia), or yellow with jaundice or taking drugs.
Volume
The volume is contributed mainly by the seminal vesicles and prostate gland, with small amount from the
bulbourethral gland and epididymides, lower semen volume is 1.5 ml
pH
pH of semen reflects the balance between the PH values of the different accessory gland secretions, mainly the
alcaine seminal vesicular secretion and the acidic prostatic secretion. Lower pH 7,2
B. Microscopic Examination
Microscopical examination can be accomplished with a phase contrast microscope on wet preparations of
undiluted semen
Sperm Motility
Sperm motility is examined in the freshly liquefied semen sample at a magnification of 400600. This is performed
at room temperature. cells displaying the following classes of motility:
PR: progressive motility (all space-gaining motion, both linear and in large arcs).
NP: non-progressive motility (motion on the spot flagellation or motion in small circles).
IM: immotility (no motion).
Sperm Count
This is a count of the number of sperm present per milliliter (mL) of semen in one ejaculation.
Sperm Vitallity
Sperm vitality refers to the percentage of live sperm in the semen sample. This is especially important to measure if
sperm motility is low, so differentiate between live non-motile sperm and dead sperm.
Sperm Morphology
Papanicolaou, Shorr and Diffquik staining procedures provide adequate coloration for spermatozoa and permits
some differentiation of round cells.

B. Lubrication
During sexual stimulation, the par asympathetic impulses, in addition to promoting erection, cause the
urethral glands and the bulbourethral glands to secrete mucus.This mucus flows through the urethra during
intercourse to aid in the lubrication during coitus.
Female Orgasm
When local sexual stimulation reaches maximum intensity, and especially when the local sensations
are supported by appropriate psychic conditioning signals from the cerebrum, reflexes are initiated that
cause the female orgasm , also called the female climax.
During the orgasm, the perineal muscles of the female contract rhythmically, which results from
spinal cord reflexes similar to those that cause ejaculation in the male. It is possible that these reflexes
increase uterine and fallopian tube motility during the orgasm, thus helping to transport the sperm upward
through the uterus toward the ovum.

A testicle (orchitis).
A low sperm count and low sperm motility are indicators of this condition. Also, elevated FSH
levels and other hormonal problems are indicative of testicular damage. Some STDs like gonorrhea
and Chlamydia can cause infertility by blocking the epididimis or tubes. These conditions are usu ally
treated by hormonal replacement therapy and surgery in the case of tubular blockage.
C. Hormonal Imbalance
Hyperprolactinemia
Elevated protein mild elevation of prolactin levels produces no symptoms, but greater
elevation of the hormone reduces sperm production, reduces libido and may cause
impotence. This condition responds well to the drug Parlodel (bromocriptine)
Hypothyroidism
Low thyroid hormone levels can cause poor semen quality, poor testicular function and
may disturb libido. may be caused by a diet high in iodine. Reducing iodine intake or
beginning thyroid hormone replacement therapy can elevate sperm count. This condition is
found in only 1% of infertile man.
Hypergonadotropic hypopituitarism:
Low pituitary gland output of LH and FSH. This condition arrest sperm development and
causes the progressive loss of germ cells from the testes and causes the seminiferous
tubules and leydig cells to deteroriate.
Labia minora abnormalities: can have labial fusion or hypertrophy in otherwise normal
females. Hypertrophy can be unilateral or bilateral and may occasionally require surgical
correction.
Clitoral abnormalities: these are generally rare, agenesis is extremely rare and is double
clitoris or bifid clitoris. Hypertrophy can be associated with a number of intersex disorders.
Uterine abnormalities
The most common types of uterine abnormalities are caused by incomplete fusion of the
Mllerian or paramesonephric ducts.
o
Complete failure is rare and results in double vagina, double cervix and double
uterus. Variants may occur depending on the degree of fusion.
Single cervix and double single-horned uteruses which are partially fused.
Other abnormalities include septate uterus (uterus with midline septum), arcuate
uterus (uterus slightly indented in the middle) and unicornuate uterus (second blindending rudimentary horn).
Vaginal abnormalities
o
Vaginal agenesis: Usually occurs with absent uterus but ovaries present.
Vaginal atresia
Mllerian aplasia
Associated anomalies
The urethra can open into the vaginal wall or the vagina can open into a persistent
urogenital sinus. (Fistula)

diseases
(Atopic
dermatitis,

C. Hormonal Abnormalities
Disruptions in the GnRH, FSH and LH pathway, triggered by hormonal imbalances in androgen
(polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS) and prolactin, can disrupt normal ovulation and also cause
infertility.
Medical conditions such as thyroid problems, cancer and its treatment with radiation, chemotherapy
and/or surgery, and early menopause (premature ovarian failure) also contribute to female
infertility.
A. Initial Assessment
The physician's initial encounter with the infertile couple is the most important one because it sets
the tone for subsequent evaluation and treatment. The male partner should be present at this first
visit because his history is a key component in the selection of diagnostic and therapeutic plans. The
physician should obtain a complete medical, surgical, and gynecologic history from the woman.
B. Semen Analysis
The basic semen analysis measures semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and
sperm morphology. The optimal period of abstinence before semen collection is 2 to 3 days.
Treatment:
Treatment of reversible endocrine or infectious causes of subfertility.
e.g: Clomiphene citrate acts on the hypothalamicpituitary axis and, in men, increases serum
levels of LH, FSH, and testosterone.
Improve behavior and body: Personal hygiene, decrease tobacco and alcohol consumption,
adequate rest, treatment for chronic and metabolic diasease.
C. Ovulation Factor
Pelvic ultrasonography can provide evidence for ovulation
The basal body temperature (BBT), should be taken shortly after awakening in the morning after
at least 6 hours of sleep and prior to ambulating
The use of an endometrial biopsy (EMB) near the end of the luteal phase can provide
reassurance of an adequate maturational effect on the endometrial lining
Within 48 hours of ovulation, the cervical mucus changes under the influence of progesterone
to become thick, tacky, and cellular, with loss of the crystalline fernlike pattern on drying.
Treatment:
Oral pills, that contain estrogen and progesterone. When it stopped, it will give rebound effect.
Substitution therapy:
a. Given FSH and LH
b. Chorionic gonadotropin (LH)
Falloposcopy allows the visual identification of tubal ostial spasm, abnormal tubal mucosal
patterns, and even intraluminal debris causing tubal obstruction
Laparoscopy allows careful assessment of the external architecture of the tubes and, in
particular, visualization of the fimbria. Identified abnormalities, can be treated at the time of
diagnosis.
F. Uterine Factor
Treatment: given progesterone hormone. If found signs of infection, can be given antibiotics.
