“…To avoid the risk of testicular atrophy and infertility, it is now widely agreed that orchidopexy be performed at age < 2 years (Ali et al 2014). In the present study, 13% of patients had orchidopexy before two years of age, but 60% had surgery after five years, by which time significant morphological changes would have occurred in the testis.…”

Background: Cryptorchidism is one of the most common urogenital abnormalities in male children. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of cryptorchidism lead to complications such as infertility, malignancy and testis torsion.Objective: To determine the cause of delayed presentation, complications recorded, the surgical treatment offered in a developing country.Methods:A retrospective review of patients’ records from December 2012 to December 2014 was carried out. Sixty one patients presented to the University Charity Teaching Hospital during this period.Results: Sixty one patients were included in the study. Age ranged from 1-75 years with mean at surgery is 11 years. Twenty seven patients (44%) presented after 24 months, 3 (4.9%) less than 12 months, and 23 (37.3%) less than 1 month. Age at operation, 7 (13%) were £ 2years, 15 (28%) were 2-5years, 39 (59%) were > 5 years.Fifty four (88.5%) patients have undergone orchidopexy, 3(4.9%) orchidectomies, 1 (1.6%) biopsy, 1 (1.6%) exploratory laparotomy, and in 2 (3.3%) cases operation wasn’t done.Conclusion:Late presentation observed in this study is alarming and action should be taken by spreading awareness in the community and ensuring adequate neonatal and children examination in order to avoid the complications.

“…Cyclical pain in both (PMTS and ANDI) often begins with major hormonal changes and commonly ceases at the onset of menopause. Cyclical mastalgia is not confused with the menstrual cycle (PMTS), which differs in presentation, treatment, and aetiology 7 , 8 . However, clinical evidence from reproductive endocrinology states that plasma estradiol levels do not entirely reflect the hormonal impact at the target level 9 , 10 .…”

Introduction: Mastalgia was the most common symptom in patients attending a breast clinic. The two most common types of mastalgia were (cyclical and non-cyclical). The common cause of cyclical was Physiological changes due to premenstrual tension syndrome fibrocystic changes or fibroadenosis and (Aberrations in the Normal Development and Involution of the breast ). Non-cyclical diseases are mainly benign rather than malignant. Solid masses (fibroadenomas), cysts, infections, abscesses, trauma, and nipple discharge (hormones) are rare diseases associated with breast cancer. The aim of this study is to study the incidence of mastalgia, types (cyclical and non-cyclical) and pathological types of mastalgia (benign and malignant pathologies) Material and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of mastalgia was carried out at the Breast Center Department of Maternity Teaching Hospital located in Erbil, from January 2014 to September 2015. A total of 150 breast pain cases (available clinical data) were studied in detail. Results: There are two types of mastalgia based on triple assessments, these are as follows, cyclical 90 cases (60%) and non-cyclical 60 cases (40%). Fibrocystic breast changes or fibroadenosis 35 cases (23.3%) and thirdly nipple discharges as part of fibrocystic (fibroadenosis) five cases (3.3%). Non-cyclical mastalgia was subdivided into benign breast pathologies, fibroadenoma 30 cases (20%), breast cyst 10 cases (6.7%), nipple discharge (hormonal) five cases (3.3%), mastitis three cases (2%) abscess two cases (1.3%), fat necrosis one case (0.7%), and malignant breast pathologies, cancer three cases (2%). Clinicopathological correlations in the current study were highly significant (P<0.005). Conclusion: Not all discomfort or pain can be diagnosed as mastalgia; occasionally, chest wall, referral pain, and systemic causes can mimic mastalgia. These results highlight the importance of differentiating between cyclical and non-cyclical mastalgia using clinical assessment, sonography, mammography, and blood investigations. Most mastalgia cases are benign, with cyclical mastalgia primarily related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.
