Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Non cancerous enlargement of prostate gland condition places pressure on urethra and narrows it, resulting in frequency, urgency, and nocturia; commonly seen in males over 50
39
Blood urea nitrogen
Blood test to determine kidney function by measuring level of nitrogenous waste or urea in blood
40
Calculus
Term for “stone formed within organ” most are formed from mineral salts; commonly found in kidney, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder or urethra
41
Chlamydia
Bacterial sexually transmitted diseases; causes inflammation of urethra of males or cervix of females with purulent discharge
42
Circumcision
Surgical removal of prepuce, or foreskin from glans penis; commonly performed on newborn males at request of parents; primary reason is for ease of hygiene; also a ritual practiced in some religions
43
Clean Catch specimen
Procedure for obtaining urine sample after cleaning off urethral meatus and catching urine in midstream (halfway through urination process) to minimize contamination from the skin
44
Digital rectal exam
Direct exam for presence of enlarged prostate gland performed by palpating prostate gland with fingers through wall of the rectum
45
Erectile dysfunction
Inability to achieve erection of penis for coitus also called impotence
46
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy
Treatment procedure for urinary system stones; utilizes ultrasound waves to break up stones; process is non-invasive meaning it does not require surgery
47
Frequency
Condition of feeling urge to urinate more often that normal but without increases in total daily volume of urine; can indicate inflammation of bladder or urethra or benign prostatic hyperplasia
48
Genital Herpes
Highly infectious viral sexually transmitted disease; causes blister like lesions on penis of males or cervix and vagina of females
49
Gonorrhea
Bacterial sexually transmitted disease; infects mucous membranes and can spread throughout the entire genitourinary system, often does not cause many symptoms until widespread
50
Hemodialysis
Treatment for renal failure using artificial kidney machine to filter waste from the body
51
Hesitancy
State of difficulty initiating flow of urine; often symptoms of blockage along urethra such as caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia
52
Hydrocele
Accumulation of fluid within scrotum
53
Intravenous Pyelogram
X-ray of kidney following injection of dye into vein to visualize renal pelvis as kidney filters dye out of bloodstream and puts into urine
54
Peritoneal dialysis
Artificial means to remove waste substances from body by placing warm, chemically balanced solutions into peritoneal cavity, treatment for renal failure
55
Phimosis
Narrowing of prepuce over glans penis, can cause difficulty with urination and infection; treatment is circumcision
56
Polycystic kidney disease
Inherited kidney disease characterized by presence of multiple cysts throughout kidney tissue; eventually destroys kidneys and results in kidney failure
57
Prostate-specific antigen
Blood test to screen for prostate cancer
58
Prostatic cancer
Common and slow growing cancer of prostate gland occurring in males over the age of 50; prostate specific antigen (PSA) test is used to assist in early detection of the disease
59
Renal Failure
Inability of kidneys to filter waste from blood and/or produce Urine; treatment of sever renal failure is dialysis or renal transplant
60
Renal transplant
Replacement of diseased kidney by donor kidney
61
Retrograde pyelogram
X-ray of urinary bladder,ureters, and renal pelvis following insertion of dye through urethra
62
Semen analysis
Evaluation of semen for fertility
63
Sexually transmitted disease
Contagious Disease acquired Through sexual contact; formally referred to as a venreal disease
64

70
Urgency
Feeling the need to urinate immediately

Urinalysis
Laboratory test that consists of physical, chemical and microscopic examination of urine

73
Urinary incontinence
Involuntary urination also called enuresis
74
Urinary tract infectiion
Inflection of any region of the urinary tract
75
Urine culture and sensitivity
Diagnostic lab procedure that identifies bacterial infection of urinary system and determines best antibiotic to treat it, involves growing bacteria in culture medium and testing different antibiotics on it
76
Varicocele
Development of varicose veins in the scrotal veins
77
Folding Cystourethrography
X-ray made while patient voids dye that has been placed in urinary bladder through urethra
