Abstract
Aim:
The present study was undertaken to study growth pattern of
accessory sex glands in prepubertal kids from 2 weeks to 6
months of age using two-dimensional ultrasonography.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted on six Beetal kids. The scanning of
accessory sex glands was done in standing position using rectal
probe and measurements were recorded. Data collected were
statistically analyzed using oneway ANOVA followed by Duncan
multiple range test was performed using the SPSS (16.0) system
for windows.
Results:
With the advancement of age all the dimensions of glands
increased. Both the lobes of prostate gland showed an increase
in width with advancement of age. Width of prostate above the
urethra (W1) showed a significant increase at 2, 10, and 20
weeks of age, whereas non-significant increase from 2 to 8, 10
to 19, and 20 to 24 weeks of age was recorded. Width of prostate
below the urethra (W2) showed a significant increase at 20 weeks
of age, whereas non-significant increase was recorded during
rest of period of growth. Left and right bulbourethral gland
showed a similar pattern of growth with the advancement of age.
The circumference dimensions increased significantly at 2, 16,
20, and 21 weeks of age for both glands. The increase was
non-significant from 4 to 14, 16 to 19, and 20 to 23 weeks of
age. The same pattern was observed for left and right seminal
vesicular gland.
Conclusion:
Significant growth in three accessory sex glands in prepubertal
kids was not observed at the same age. The trend observed was
that the prostate was the first gland to show significant growth
at 10 weeks of age followed by a significant increase in seminal
vesicles and bulbourethral gland at 14 and 16 weeks of age,
respectively.
