Flashcards in Male Reproductive: Symptomatic, Diagnostic, and Operative Terms Deck (37):
1
inability to secrete or ejaculate sperm
aspermia
2
semen without living spermatozoa, a sign of infertility in the male
azoospermia
3
scanty production and expulsion of sperm
oligospermia
4
drainage of mucus and pus
mucopurulent discharge
5
absence of one or both testes
anorchism
6
inflammation of glans penis
balanitis
7
undescneded testicle; failure of a testis to descend unto the scrotal sac during fetal development; it most often remains lodged in the abdomen or inguinal canal, requiring surgical repair
cryptorchism
8
inflammation of the epididymis
epididymitis
9
hernia of fluid in the testis or tubes leading from the testis
hydrocele
10
congenital opening of the male urethra on the under-surface of the penis
hypospadias
11
failure to initiate or maintain an erection until ejaculation because of physical or psychological dysfunction; formerly termed impotence
erectile dysfunction (ED)
12
disorder characterized by a buildup of hardened fibrous tissue in the corpus cavernosum causing pain and a defective curvature of the penis, especially during erection
Peyronie disease
13
narrowed condition of the prepuce (foreskin) resulting in its inability to be drawn over the glans penis, often leading to infection - commonly requires circumcision
phimosis
14
enlargement of the prostate gland; frequently seen in older men, causing urinary obstruction
benign prostatic hyperplasia/hypertrophy (BPH)
15
malignancy of the prostate gland
prostate cancer
16
inflammation of the prostate
prostatitis
17
painless, benign cystic mass containing sperm lying above and posterior to the testicle, but separate from it
spermatocele
18
malignant tumor in one or both testicles commonly developing from the germ cells that produce sperm - classified in two groups according to growth potential
testicular cancer
19
most common type of testicular tumor, composed of immature germ cells - highly treatable with early detection
seminoma
20
testicular tumors arising from more mature germ cells that have a tendency to be more aggressive than seminomas; often develop earlier in life (includes choriocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, teratoma, and yolk sac tumors)
nonseminomas
21
enlarged, swollen, herniated veins near the testis
varicocele
22
removal of the foreskin (prepuce), exposing the glans penis
circumcision
23
removal of an epididymis
epididymectomy
24
removal of a testicle
orchiectomy/orchidectomy
25
repair of a testicle
orchioplasty
26
fixation of an undescended testis in the scrotum
orchiopexy
27
excision of the prostate gland
prostatectomy
28
removal of prostatic gland tissue through the urethra using a resectoscope, a specialized urologic endoscope - common tratment for benign prostatic hyperplasia/hypertrophy (BPH)
transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
29
removal of a segment of the vas deferens to produce sterility in the male
vasectomy
30
restoration of the function of the vas derferens to regain fertility after vasectomy
vasovasastomy
31
DRE
digital rectal exam
32

herpes simplex virus
33

35
TURP
transurethral resection of the prostate
36
