67
vasovasostomy
a procedure performed as an attempt to restore fertility to a vasectomized male
68
Testicles
two testicles, or testes, produce and store millions of tiny sperm cells. The testicles are also part of the endocrine system because they produce hormones, including testosterone
69
Epididymis and vas deferens
The epididymis and the vas deferens make up the duct system of the male reproductive organs. The vas deferens is a muscular tube that passes upward alongside the testicles and transports the sperm-containing fluid called semen. The epididymis is a set of coiled tubes (one for each testicle) that connects to the vas deferens.
70
Scrotum
The epididymis and the testicles hang in a pouch-like structure outside the pelvis called the scrotum. This bag of skin helps to regulate the temperature of testicles, which need to remain cooler than body temperature to produce sperm.
71
Seminal vesicles and prostate gland
provide fluids that lubricate the duct system of the male reproductive organs and nourish the sperm.
72
Penis
the external male sex organ and is made up of two parts: the shaft and the glans. The shaft is the main part of the penis and the glans is the tip. At the end of the glans is a small slit or opening, which is where semen and urine exit the body through the urethra.
73
erectile dysfunction
The inability to achieve or maintain penile erection; also called impotence
74
Peyronie's disease
A curvature of the penis during erection; also called penile curvature
75
priapism

76

77
orchidectomy
Surgical removal of one or both testicles
78
orchiopexy
Repair of an undescended testicle
79
varicocelectomy
Removal of a portion of an enlarged vein to relieve a varicocele inside the scrotum
80
vasectomy

81
digital rectal exam (DRE)
used to detect tumors within the rectum
82
scrotal ultrasound
performed to evaluate disorders within the scrotum, testicles, and epididymis.
83
Semen analysis
also called a sperm count, is performed to evaluate freshly ejaculated semen
84
testicular self-exam
detect lumps, swelling, or changes in the scrotum.
85
Varicocelectomy
removal of a portion of an enlarged vein to relieve a varicocele inside the scrotum.
86
Ovaries
a pair of small glands that produce female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) as well as ova (eggs), the female gametes
87
Fallopian tubes
funnel-shaped passages next to the ovary. They have a number of finger-like projections known as fimbriae on the end near the ovary. When the ovary releases an egg, it is "caught" by one of the fimbriae and transported along the fallopian tube to the uterus. During this journey down the fallopian tube, fertilization may occur if a sperm penetrates the egg.
88
Uterus
a hollow cavity that houses a developing fertilized egg. The thick wall of the uterus is composed of three layers of tissue. The perimetrium is the layer that lines the outside of the uterus. The myometrium is the middle layer that is primarily made up of smooth muscle. The endometrium is the inner layer that is shed each month if no pregnancy occurs.
89
Cervix
the narrow lower end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and the vagina
90
Vagina
an elastic, muscular tube that connects the cervix of the uterus to the exterior of the body. The vagina receives the penis during sexual intercourse. It also serves as the birth canal for the fetus during childbirth. During menstruation, the menstrual flow exits the body via the vagina.
91
dermoid cyst
Benign tumor containing various tissues, such as teeth, bone, skin, glands, or hair
92
pelvic inflammatory disease
Inflammation within the female reproductive organs not associated with surgery or pregnancy
93
polycystic ovary syndrome
Imbalance of reproductive hormones that causes irregular menstrual cycles, excessive body and facial hair, and acne; also called PCOS
94
ovarian cyst
A fluid-filled sac in or on the surface of an ovary
95

98
Myoma
a benign tumor made up of muscle and fibrous tissue. When it occurs within the wall of the uterus it is also called uterine fibroids.
99

indicates the number of times the woman has been pregnant (current and past), regardless of the pregnancy outcomes
116
Para
indicates the number of viable births. Pregnancies consisting of multiples, such as twins or triplets, count as ONE birth for the purpose of this notation.
