Q

hypogonadism

A

decrease or lack of hormones normally produced by the gonads

Q

hypospadias

A

congenital abnormality in which the opening of the male urethra is on the underside of the penis, instead of at its tip

27
Q

phimosis

A

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

28
Q

priapism

A

prolonged, commonly painful erection of the penis, which occurs without sexual stimulation

Q

spermatocele

A

abnormal, fluid-filled sac that develops in the epididymis and may or may not contain sperm
- spermatic cyst

37
Q

testicular mass

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

39
Q

Q

varicocele

A

swelling and distention of veins of the spermatic cord, somewhat resembling varicose veins of the legs

screening test in males that evaluates the size and consistency of the prostate

42
Q

prostate-specific antigen (PSA)

A

blood test used to detect prostatic disorders, especially prostate cancer

Q

semen analysis

A

test that analyzes a semen sample for volume, sperm count, motility, and morphology to evaluate fertility or verify sterilization after a vasectomy

44
Q

scrotal ultrasound (US)

A

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

45
Q

transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy of the prostate
