The penile and scrotal raphe is a subcutaneous fibrous plate extending from the penile frenulum, along the penile shaft and scrotum and toward the anus. In mice, the urorectal septum of endodermal origin plays a role of zipper to close the bilateral genital folds [1,2].
Subsequently, question is, why do I have a bump on my perineum? An anal abscess can also cause pain in the perineum. These are usually the result of an infection of your internal anal glands. Other symptoms of an abscess include: a red, pimple-like bump on your skin.
Consequently, does everyone have a perineal raphe?
That line is called the “penile raphe.” From conception until 7 weeks, fetuses have no sex difference—the genitals look fairly female. The line down the middle, called a “raphe”, is just a reminder of how all humans start out with a common female genital anatomy until 7 weeks after conception.
What is the perineum?
The perineum is the space between the anus and scrotum in the male and between the anus and the vulva in the female. The perineum is the region of the body between the pubic symphysis (pubic arch) and the coccyx (tail bone), including the perineal body and surrounding structures.
