22
Q
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP)
A
Enlargement of the prostate, usually as part of the aging process that constricts the urethra, causing urinary symptoms including frequency, hesitancy, nocturia, and urinary retention
23
Q
balanitis
A
inflammation of the skin covering the glans penis, caused by bacteria, fungi, or a virus
24
Q
erectile dysfunction (ED)
A
repeated inability to initiate or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse
25
hypogonadism
decrease or lack of hormones normally produced by the gonads
26
hypospadias
congenital abnormality in which the opening of the male urethra is on the underside of the penis, instead of at its tip
27
phimosis
stenosis or narrowing of the foreskin so that it cannot be retracted over the glans penis
28
priapism
prolonged, commonly painful erection of the penis, which occurs without sexual stimulation
29
prostatitis
acute or chronic inflammation of the prostate
30
sterility
inability to produce offspring
31
testicular abnormalities
any of the various disorders that affect the testes
32
anorchidism
absence of one or both testicles
- anorchia
- anorchidism
33
epididymitis
inflammation of the epididymis
34
hydrocele
swelling of the sac surrounding the testes that is typically harmless
35
orchitis
painful swelling of one or both testes commonly associated with mumps that develop after puberty
36
spermatocele
abnormal, fluid-filled sac that develops in the epididymis and may or may not contain sperm
- spermatic cyst
37
testicular mass
new tissue growth that appears on one or both testes and may be malignant or benign
38
testicular torsion
spontaneous twisting of a testicle within the scrotum, leading to a decrease in blood flow to the affected testicle
39
testicular cancer
Malignancy that develops in one or both testes, commonly presenting as a small lump or tenderness on the testicle, swelling in the scrotum and, occasionally, enlargement of breast tissue (gynecomastia)
40
varicocele
swelling and distention of veins of the spermatic cord, somewhat resembling varicose veins of the legs
41
digital rectal examination (DRE)
screening test in males that evaluates the size and consistency of the prostate
42
prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
blood test used to detect prostatic disorders, especially prostate cancer
- tumor marker test
43
semen analysis
test that analyzes a semen sample for volume, sperm count, motility, and morphology to evaluate fertility or verify sterilization after a vasectomy
44
scrotal ultrasound (US)
imaging procedure using sound waves to assess the contents of the scrotum, including the testicles, epididymis, and vas deferns
- testicular ultrasound
45
transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy of the prostate
Imaging procedure using soundwaves emitted by a probe inserted through the rectum to serve as a guide for biopsy of the prostate when PSA and DRE are abnormal
46
circumcision
removal of the foreskin, or fold of skin covering the tip (glans) of the penis
47
orchipexy
fixation of the testes in the scrotum
48
prostatectomy
removal of all or part of the prostate
49
transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
Excision of prostate tissue by inserting a special endoscope (resectoscope) through the urethra and into the bladder to remove small pieces of tissue from the prostate gland
50
urethroplasty
reconstruction of the urethra to relieve stricture or narrowing
51
vasectomy
removal of all or a segment of the vas deferens for male sterilization
52
brachytherapy of the prostate
Radiation oncology procedure where radioactive “seeds” are placed directly within or near a tumor in the prostate to destroy malignant cells
53
cryotherapy of the prostate
freezing of the prostate, causing cancer cells to die
54
external beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
procedure in which the patient is positioned at a distance from the radiation source, which is then directed at the prostate
- external beam radiation (EBT)
- teletherapy
55
gonorrhea
white discharge, infections associated with orogenital and anogenital contact, may lead to cystitis, may infect the eyes of newborn during birth
56
Chlamydia
increases risk of contracting other STIs, similar to gonorrhea but milder, may cause conjunctivitis or pneumonia in newborn during birth
57
genital herpes
blisterlike, painful lesions in the genital area that commonly resemble the lesions caused by oral herpes (cold sores)
