The treatment choice for the primary lesion depends on tumour location, size, histology, stage, grade and patient preference. Tumours confined to the prepuce are often managed by radical circumcision only for treatment of the primary lesion.

In men, the most common disorders of the reproductive organs are the infections previously discussed. Also, bacterial infections beneath the foreskin may cause balanoposthitis, generalized inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. The prefix balano-, like glans, is from a word meaning "acorn" and refers to the glans penis or glans clitoridis; posth is from the Greek for "prepuce." This inflammation predisposes to meatal stricture, a stenosis of the meatus; phimosis, constriction of the prepuce, which prevents it from being retracted; or paraphimosis, constriction of the prepuce, which prevents it from being reduced over the glans.
Urogenital and reproductive system

Euphemisms are rife with the anatomy in this department, which may be referred to generically as privates, down below or down stairs. The penis may be described as a willy (especially by children), member, dick, prick, tool, John Thomas (or occasionally Johnny) or other pet words including todger.The prepuce may be described as foreskin, helmet or hood.Testicles (testes) may be referred to as balls, bollocks and goolies, and the scrotum as the ball-bag or just plain bag. A hydrocoele (collection of fluid around a testis) may be demonstrated by transillumination (a torch test).

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a traditional practice defined as any procedure that involves partial or total intentional removal of external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for nontherapeutic purposes (World Health Organization [WHO], 2008). Although all FGM/C results in changes to the external genitalia, they are classified into four different types depending on the extent to which genital tissue is removed. Type I (clitoridectomy) includes all mutilations with a partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or the prepuce. Type II (excision) implies partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora. Type III (infibulations) includes mutilations focused on narrowing of the vaginal orifice with creation of a covering seal by cutting and repositioning the labia minora and/or the labia majora, with or without excision of the clitoris. Finally, Type IV includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for nonmedical purposes (e.g., piercing, incising, scraping, and cauterization). Each type, therefore, progressively involves greater genital excision, except Type IV, which includes all other procedures that cannot be categorized into the other three groups (WHO, 2008).

According to the Technical Guidelines for Drug Reproductive Toxicity Research issued by the Centre for Drug Evaluation (CDE), the two obvious signs of physical development in rats are described as vaginal opening in females and prepuce dehiscence in males14. From D9, all female rats in the satellite group were examined daily for vaginal opening rate. The judgement of vaginal opening was the appearance of a small hole in the vagina and the results were indicated by an accumulated percentage. From D19, all male rats in the satellite group were examined daily for prepuce dehiscence ratio. The prepuce dehiscence indicated that the prepuce was separated from the penis and the results were expressed as an accumulated percentage.
A case of penile duplication with neonatal teratoma and bladder neck incompetence
Published in Scandinavian Journal of Urology, 2021
Martin Skott, Ulrik Korsgaard, Yazan F. Rawashdeh
Physical examination revealed a redundant prepuce, 90-degree counter clockwise rotation of the penis, an orthotopic megalomeatus and an additional smaller glans dorsally on the right side of the orthotopic penis (Figure 1). Urine was passed exclusively from the orthotopic penis’ urethra. A cystogram with antegrade filling of the bladder via a suprapubic catheter, demonstrated a small bladder with a single urethra during voiding (Figure 2). Urodynamic studies displayed a bladder capacity between 160 and 180 ml, with leakage at a capacity of 100 ml, normal compliance, prolonged urinary flow, and low peak flow rate. Additionally, an MRI scan of the spine was normal and showed no signs of spinal dysraphism.
