BACKGROUND: There is an increasing interest in using preclinical models for development and assessment of medical devices and imaging techniques for prostatic disease care. Still, a comprehensive assessment of the prostate's radiological anatomy in primary preclinical models such as dogs, rabbits, and mice utilizing human anatomy as a reference point remains necessary with no optimal model for each purpose being clearly defined in the literature. Therefore, this study compares the anatomical characteristics of different animal models to the human prostatic gland from the imaging perspective...

Pelvic fractures sometimes lead to injuries of the urinary bladder, which commonly present as gross hematuria, dysuria and lower abdominal pain. As a type of urinary stone, bladder stones are usually secondary to lower urinary tract obstruction, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stricture, and neurogenic bladder. The present case report examines an unusual case of a delayed pubic fracture penetrating the bladder, which caused a secondary bladder stone. A 53-year-old man was first hospitalized at The Second Hospital of Jiaxing (Jiaxing, China) in January 2020 because of trauma-induced bleeding in the scalp and abdominal pain...

BACKGROUND: Pubic hair grooming involves the partial or complete removal of pubic hair, and it is a common practice among men and women. Grooming is more prevalent in women, who employ various methods such as shaving, waxing and laser removal. However, it is associated with variable rates of post-grooming adverse outcomes including lacerations and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review and meta-analysis comparing women's sexual health outcomes between those who groom and those who don't...

It seems puzzling why humans have evolved such a small and rigid birth canal that entails a relatively complex process of labor compared with the birth canal of our closest relatives, the great apes. This study reviewed insights into the evolution of the human birth canal from recent theoretical and empirical studies and discussed connections to obstetrics, gynecology, and orthopedics. Originating from the evolution of bipedality and the large human brain million years ago, the evolution of the human birth canal has been characterized by complex trade-off dynamics among multiple biological, environmental, and sociocultural factors...

Osteomyelitis of the pubic symphysis presents a diagnostic challenge, characterized by symptoms of pubic pain and discomfort radiating to the groin, thigh, or hip. Post-prostate surgery occurrences are rare, with a propensity for cancer-related procedures. Conservative antibiotic therapy may prove insufficient, necessitating surgical intervention. This article details a unique case involving Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, the second most prevalent pathogen. Despite the rarity of the diagnosis, particularly after a benign surgical procedure, timely intervention was hindered, leading to a delayed management course...

PURPOSE: Many women experience pain around the low back and pelvic girdle during/after pregnancy. These pains have different risk factors and require independent management strategies. Therefore, an epidemiological database is required to understand when each type of pain occurs, and how serious it could be. Thus, the history of pain in the lumbopelvic region throughout the perinatal period was investigated. METHODS: The information of 170 women recruited at the obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Japan was collected at 12, 24, 30, and 36 weeks of pregnancy, in the early days after childbirth, and one month after childbirth...

Pelvic fractures are the most common among patients sustaining high-energy trauma. They are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, often because of high blood loss and injury to the lumbosacral plexus, genitourinary system, and gastrointestinal system. The age, complexity of the pelvic fracture, and pubic symphysis diastasis would represent risk factors for erectile dysfunction after major and neglected pelvic injuries; the neglected pelvic ring injuries could cause disabilities that manifest with symptoms like pain, lower limb length discrepancy, standing or sitting imbalance and even sexual dysfunction...

Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital anomaly in which the urinary bladder develops outside the body. It may be part of the bladder epispadias-exstrophy-cloacal complex, which is a serious embryological defect where a spectrum of abnormalities involving the urinary tract, genital tract, musculoskeletal system, and intestinal tract is seen. Primary signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (PSRCA) arising in exstrophy of the urinary bladder is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. A 32-year-old man with congenital, untreated bladder exstrophy presented with a large fungating mass on the lower abdominal wall...

Pubic bone osteomyelitis is a rare infection, mostly related to urinary fistula. The published data about the medical or surgical management of this type of infection is relatively poor. In this case study of three patients, we describe our surgical technique for the management of urosymphyseal fistula complicated with pubic bone infection using pelvic filling flap by unilateral pedicled myocutaneous vertical rectus abdominus muscle flap. The first patient had the pelvic space filled with omentum flap. Unfortunately, the patient presented, postoperatively, an enteric fistula resulting from intestine incarceration on the resected bone...
