inability to secrete or ejaculate sperm

inflammation of the glans penis

• BPH
• Enlargement of the prostate gland
• common in older men causing urinary obstruction

• Pair of glands below the prostate, with ducts opening into the urethra
• adds a viscid (sticky) fluid in semen

• Most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection in North America
• often occurs with no symptoms and is treated only after it has spread.

removal of the foreskin (prepuce), exposing the glans penis

• lesion that appears as a result of HPV
• on the skin, lesions apear as cauliflower-like warts
• on mucous membranes, they have a flat appearance 
• venereal or genital warts

Insertion of a finger into the male rectum to palpate the rectum and prostate

• Duct formed by the union of the vas deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle 
• its fluid is carried into the urethra

• coiled duct on the top and at the side of the testis
• stores sperm before emission

• ED
• Failure to initiate or maintain an erection until ejaculation because of physical or psychological dysfunction
• formerly termed impotence

• Bulging structure at the distal end of the penis 
• glans = acorn

Contagious inflammation of the genital mucous membrane caused by invasion of the gonococcus Neisseria gonorrhea

the condition was named for the urethral discharge characteristic of the infection, which was first thought to be a leakage of semen

• HPV
• Virus transmitted by direct sexual contact that causes an infection that can occur on the skin or the mucous membranes of the genitals

drainage of mucus and pus

scanty production and expulsion of sperm

implantation of a device designed to provide and erection of the physical impotence

erectile tissue covered with skin that contains the urethra for urination and the ducts for secretion of seminal fluid (semen)

• external region btwn the scrotum and anus in a male
• between the vuvla and anus in the female

malignancy of the prostate gland

• Trilobular gland that encircles the urethra just below the bladder and secretes an alkaline fluid into the semen
• pro= before
• stat= to stand

excision of the prostate gland

• PSA Test
• blood test used to screen for prostate cancer
• an elevated level of the antigen indicates the possible presence of tumor

inflammation of the prostate

• skin-covering pouch in the groin divided into 2 sacs
• each containing a testis and an epididymis

a mixture of the secretions of the testes, seminal vesicle, prostate, and bulbourethral glands discharged from the male urethra during orgasim

• study of the semen, including a sperm count with observation of morphology (form) and motility
• usually preformed to rule out male infertility

• one of the 2 sec-like structures behind the bladder and connected to the vas deferens on each side
• secretes an alkaline substance into the semen to enable the sperm to live longer

• most common type of testicular tumor
• composed of immature germ cells
• highly treatable with early detection

male gamete or sex cell produced in the testes that unites with the ovum in the female to produce offspring

• sexually transmitted infection caused by a spirochete and which may involve any organ or tissue over time
• usually manifests first on the skin, with the appearance of small painless, red papules that erode and form bloodless ulcer called chancres

one of the 2 male reproductive glands, located in the scrotum, that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone

• malignant tumor in one or both testicles commonly developing from the germ cells that produce sperm
• classified in two groups according to growth potential

• TURP
• removal of prostatic gland tissue through the urethra using a resectoscope ( a specialized urologic endoscope) 
• common treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia/hypertrophy (BPH)

• Duct that carries sperm fro the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
• vas= vessel
• deferens = carrying away

removal of a segment of the vas deferens to produce sterility in the male

restoration of the function of the vas deferens to regain fertility after the vasectomy
