phimosis
expulsion of semen before complete erection or immediately after vaginal penetration
premature ejaculation
abn., painful, and prolonged erection of the penis not related to sexual arousal
priapism
malignant tumor or neoplasm of the prostate gland
prostate cancer
inflammation of the prostate gland
prostatitis
destruction, dissolution, or break down of sperm
spermatolysis
malignant tumor of one or both testes
testicular carcinoma
enlarged, twisted, and swollen veins of the spermatic cord
varicocele
highly contagious pustule or lesion located on the penis, characteristic of primary syphilis
chancre
sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis; symptoms are usually mild or absent and might include abnormal discharge from the penis or cervix, and a burning sensation during urination; bacteria can infect the urinary tract or cervix causing epididymitis in men and cervicitis in women
chlamydia
sexually transmitted infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV), type 2; symptoms are called outbreaks, which appear two weeks after infection; outbreaks are characterized by small blisters in the genital area, penis, cervix, vagina, or in the uretrha; blisters rupture, leaving an ulceration (sore) that heals without leaving a scar; genital herpes can recur spontaneously once the virus has been acquired; also called venereal herpes
genital herpes
the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI); includes more that 40 types of human papilloma virus tha can infect the genital area; specific types of HPV cause different diseases, such as genital warts or cervical cancer
genital human papilloma virus (HPV)
sexually transmitted infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), characterized by small, cauliflowerlike growths usually seen along the penis and in or near the vagina or anus; also called venereal warts (Note: The HPV virus that causes genital warts is no the same virus associated with cervical cancer.)
genital warts
sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) that infect male and female genitalia; symptoms, which typically appear within 2 to 10 days after sexual contact with an infected individual, include yellow or bloody vaginal discharge from the penis; painful or burning sensations during urination, ans swollen testicles; untreated, gonorrhea can lead to infection of the entire reproductive tract of both men and women
gonorrhea
an infection that is spread from one person to another during any type of sexual contact
sexually transmitted infection
sexually transmitted disease that has three distinct stages, each more serious than the previous stage; lesions may involve any organ or tissue
syphilis
sexually transmitted infection caused by the protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis; men are usually asymptomatic, but might experience dysuria, urinary frequency, or urethritis; symptoms in women include itching, burning, and strong-smelling , frothy, greenish-yellow vaginal discharge.

trichomoniasis
surgical removal of one or both testes
orchidectomy
surgical fixation of one or both testes
orchiopexy; orchiopexy
surgical repair of one or both testes; placement of undescended testes into the scrotum
orchidoplasty; orchioplasty
surgical removal of all or part of the prostate
prostatectomy
laboratory test hat measures the levels of acid phosphatase, an enzyme present in prostate cells and in the blood; elevated levels indicate prostate cancer
prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP)
lab test that measures the blood levels of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland; elevated PSA levels indicate benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostate cancer; a screening test for prostate cancer
prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
ab analysis of the physical and chemical components of semen
semen analysis
any procedure of that renders a male incapable of sperm or impregnating women
sterilization
surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland through an incision just above the pubic bone
suprapubic prosatectomy
surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland by passing an instrument into and through the urethra
transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
surgical removal of a varicocele by excision of a portion of the scrotum and tying off (ligation) of the enlarged, twisted veins
varicocelectomy
surgical removal of all or a portion of the vas deferens; male sterilization
vasectomy
