Q

phimosis

A

stenosis or narrowing of the foreskin so that it cannot be retracted over the glans penis

37
Q

A

new tissue growth that appears on one or both testes and may be malignant or benign

38
Q

testicular torsion

A

spontaneous twisting of a testicle within the scrotum, leading to a decrease in blood flow to the affected testicle

Q

prostate-specific antigen (PSA)

A

blood test used to detect prostatic disorders, especially prostate cancer

A

imaging procedure using sound waves to assess the contents of the scrotum, including the testicles, epididymis, and vas deferns
- testicular ultrasound

45
Q
