In human male anatomy, the radix (/ r eɪ. d ɪ k s /) [1] or root of the penis is the internal and most proximal portion of the human penis that lies in the perineum.Unlike the pendulous body of the penis, which is suspended from the pubic symphysis, the root is attached to the pubic arch of the pelvis and is not visible externally.
The perineal body (or central tendon of perineum) is a pyramidal fibromuscular mass in the middle line of the perineum at the junction between the urogenital triangle and the anal triangle. In males, it is found between the bulb of the penis and the anus ; in females, it is found between the vagina and anus, and about 1.25 cm (0.49 in) in front ...
The membranous layer of the superficial fascia of the perineum (Colles' fascia) is the deeper layer (membranous layer) of the superficial perineal fascia. It is thin, aponeurotic in structure, and of considerable strength, serving to bind down the muscles of the root of the penis .
The pain is located in the sensory distribution of the pudendal nerve. [6] [16] In over 50% of cases, the pain is in the perineum, but may be located in the genital areas (vulva, vagina, clitoris in females; glans penis, scrotum in males). [15] Pain may also be perceived in the rectum. [15] Pain may also involve the supra-pubic region and the ...
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.
The deep dorsal vein of the penis, the cavernosal veins of the penis, and the para-arterial veins of the penis are inside Buck's fascia, but the superficial dorsal veins of the penis are in the superficial fascia immediately under the skin.
This means that in the event of a rival male's sperm occupying the reproductive tract of a female, the human penis is able to displace the rival sperm, replacing it with his own. [42] Semen displacement has two main benefits for a male. Firstly, by displacing a rival male's sperm, the risk of the rival sperm fertilising the egg is reduced. [43]
The cause of post-orgasmic pain determines the course of treatment. Antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed if infectious or inflammatory processes are thought to be the cause. [25] Transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is the preferred method for treating pain associated with seminal vesicles. [26]
