OMC; Ms. miriam Mukami Male Reproductive System Vocabulary erectile inability to engage in sexual intercourse dysfunction due to inability to maintain an erection; (ED) also called impotence inability to father children due to a problem sterility with spermatogenesis Diseases of the male reproductive system

 Andropathy: Diseases of the male

Testes Pathology

failure of testes to descend into cryptorchidism scrotum before birth accumulation of fluid around testes or hydrocele along spermatic cord testicular malignant tumor of testes carcinoma testicular torsion twisting of spermatic cord varicocele varicose veins of the spermatic cord

Anorchism The state of absence of a testicle, one or both Prostate Gland Pathology

benign prostatic noncancerous enlargement of prostate hypertrophy (BPH) gland; common in older men prostate cancer malignant tumor of prostate gland

Adenocarcinoma Malignant tumor of the prostate; second most : common cause of cancer deaths in men over 50; radical (complete) prostatectomy along with radiation and chemotherapy is the most common treatment Balanocele Protrusion of glans penis (through rupture of prepuce) Balanitis: Inflammation of glans penis

Balanorrhea: Excessive discharge from the glans penis, often the first symptom of a sexually transmitted disease Penis Pathology

congenital opening of urethra on dorsal epispadias surface of penis congenital opening of urethra on hypospadias underside of penis narrowing of prepuce; constricts glans phimosis penis persistent and painful erection; caused by priapism pathology, not sexual stimulation Sexually Transmitted Disease

chancroid highly infections non-syphilitic venereal ulcer chlamydia bacterial genital infection in males & females genital viral infection that appears like blisters herpes genital warts on the genitalia of both males & females; warts caused by a virus gonorrhea bacterial infection of mucous membranes of (GC) males & females Sexually Transmitted Disease

human sexually transmitted virus that attacks immunodeficiency immune system virus (HIV) sexually disease usually acquired as a result of transmitted sexual intercourse; formerly called disease (STD) venereal disease (VD) chronic bacterial infection; attacks syphilis multiple organs including brain genitourinary infection caused by a trichomoniasis protist in both males and females STI

 Genital herpes is infection of the skin and mucous membranes of the genitals, caused by Herpesvirus hominis type 2. Symptoms include reddening of the skin with small fluid-filled blisters and ulcers. Remission and relapse periods occur, and no drug is known to be effective as a cure.

OMC; Ms. miriam Mukami Clinical Laboratory Tests prostate-specific blood test to screen for prostate cancer antigen (PSA) part of fertility workup; analyzed for semen analysis number, swimming strength, and shape GC/Chlamydia test, performed by inserting a small cotton swab into the opening of the urethra to obtain a sample, which is then tested for gonorrhea and Chlamydia viral culture tests for herpes and HIV, and is performed simply by swabbing an open sore VDRL, also known as the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test, the blood is tested to diagnose syphilis. Because the syphilis antigen stays in the blood for a lifetime, it can have far-reaching effects. Additional Diagnostic Tests

digital rectal manual examination for enlarged prostate exam (DRE) Surgical Procedures

castration removal of testes circumcision removal of prepuce surgical fixation to pin undescended orchidopexy testes in scrotum process of rendering a male or sterilization female unable to conceive children Surgical Procedures

transurethral resection removal of prostate tissue by of prostate (TUR, inserting device through urethra TURP) cure of BPH removal of a segment of vas vasectomy deferens to prevent sperm from ejaculating reconnects ends of vas deferens vasovasostomy to reverse a vasectomy Male Reproductive Surgeries and Procedures Orchidopexy: Surgical fixation or “stitching in place” of a testicle

Penile implant: Surgical implanting of a penile prosthesis to correct erectile dysfunction (prosthesis means “artificial body part”)

Prostatectomy: Excision of prostate gland

TUMT (transurethral microwave thermotherapy): A prostatron is used to deliver microwaves heating the area for one hour, to eliminate excessive tissue present in BPH; no anesthetic required Balanoplasty: Surgical repair of the glans penis A vasectomy. Male Reproductive System Pharmacology
