Q

testicular torsion

A

Twisting of the spermatic cord (

32
Q

varicocele

A

Enlarged, dilated veins near the testicle

33
Q

benign prostatic hyperplasia

BPH

A

Benign growth of cells within the prostate gland. BPH is a common condition in men older than 60 years of age. Urinary obstruction
and inability to empty the bladder completely are symptoms. Figure 9-9 shows the
prostate gland with BPH and with carcinoma. Surgical treatment by transurethral
resection of the prostate (TURP

34
Q

carcinoma of the prostate

prostate cancer

A

Malignant tumor (adenocarcinoma) of the prostate gland
This cancer commonly occurs in men who are older than 50 years. Digital rectal
examination (DRE) (Figure 9-10) can detect the tumor at a later stage, but early
detection depends on a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test

35
Q

hypospadias

A

Congenital abnormality in which the male urethral opening is on the
undersurface of the penis, instead of at its tip.

36
Q

phimosis

A

Narrowing (stricture) of the opening of the prepuce over the glans penis. This condition (phim/o = muzzle) can interfere with urination and cause secretions
to accumulate under the prepuce, leading to infection. Treatment is by circumcision
(cutting around the prepuce to remove it)

37
Q

chlamydial infection

A 
Bacterial invasion (by Chlamydia trachomatis) of the urethra and
reproductive tract.
38
Q

gonorrhea

A

Inflammation of the genital tract mucosa, caused by infection with
gonococci (berry-shaped bacteria).

39
Q

gono

A

reproductive organ

40
Q

herpes genitalis

A

Infection of skin and genital mucosa, caused by the herpes simplex
virus (HSV).

41
Q

human papillomavirus

A

Infection of the skin and mucous membranes in the anogenital region
by the human papillomavirus.
Some types of HPV cause genital warts

42
Q

syphilis

A

Chronic STI caused by a spirochete (spiral-shaped bacterium)

43
Q

PSA test

A

Measurement of levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood.

44
Q

semen analysis

A

Microscopic examination of ejaculated fluid.

45
Q

castration

A

Surgical excision of testicles or ovaries

46
Q

photoselective vaporization
of the prostate (GreenLight
PVP)

A

Removal of tissue to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using a
green light laser (“laser TURP”).

47
Q 
transurethral resection of
the prostate (TURP)
A

Excision of benign prostatic hyperplasia using a resectoscope through
the urethra.

48
Q

vasectomy

A

Bilateral surgical removal of a part of the vas deferens.

49
Q

ligation

A

(tying

and binding off) jiezha

50
Q

digital rectal examination

DRE

A

Finger palpation through the anal canal and rectum to examine the
prostate gland.
