AKA: SPERM COUNT
Sperm analysis or semen analysis
TESTICULAR SELF-EXAMINATION
Early detection of testicular cancer done once a month by looking for lumps, swellings, or changes in skin
COLPOSCOPY
Visual exam of cervix, vagina, & vulva tissues; sometimes involves sampling epithelial tissue for biopsy if abnormal pap smear
ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSY
Remove some tissue from uterine lining for microscope to determine cause of abnormal bleeding & diagnose PCOS & uterine cancer
TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND
Used to find cause of pelvic pain, infertility, or abnormal bleeding
AKA: TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND
Endovaginal ultrasound
HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY (HSG)
X-ray to examine uterus & fallopian tubes w/radiopaque dye (dye that blocks X-rays) to diagnose blockages
HYSTEROSCOPY (HYS)
Visual exam in uterus interior & fallopian tubes to diagnose & treat abnormal bleeding
PAP SMEAR
Exfoliative biopsy of cervix to detect precancerous/cancerous cells of cervix/vagina & scrape cells for microscope
AKA: PAP SMEAR
Pap test or Papanicolaou test
PREGNANCY TEST

Combined screening
CHORIONIC VILLUS SAMPLING (CVS)
Test @ 11-14 week pregnancy to remove cells/section from chorionic villi to look for genetic abnormality/chromosome issues
AMNIOCENTESIS (AMN)
Surgical puncture to obtain amniotic fluid sample after 15th week to evaluate fetal health, diagnose congenital disorders, & assess genetic/developmental conditions of fetus
HIGH CHOLESTEROL CAN BE A RISK FACTOR FOR WHAT MALE REPRODUCTIVE ISSUE
Erectile dysfunction
CULTURE & SENSITIVITY (C&S)
Take culture & observe growth; bacteria tested w/antibiotics to see which most effective
DIGITAL RECTAL EXAMINATION (DRE)
Dr inserts finger in rectum to check for prostate enlargement
FLUORESCENT TREPONEMAL ANTIBODY ABSORPTION TEST (FTA-ABS TEST)
