anorchism
Condition in which there is a lack of one or both testes
27
artificial insemination
Process of artificially placing semen into the vagina so that conception can take place. Artificial insemination homologous (AIH) means using the husband’s or mate’s semen and artificial insemination heterologous refers to using sperm from a donor other than the husband or mate.
28
aspermia
Condition involving lack of sperm or failure to ejaculate sperm
29
azoospermia
condition in which the semen lacks spermatozoa
30
balanitis
Inflammation of the glans penis
31
benign prostatic hyperplasia
Enlargement of the prostate gland. As the prostate enlarges, it compresses the urethra, thereby restricting the normal flow of urine. This restriction generally causes a number of symptoms and can be referred to as prostatism.
32
castrate
Removal of the testicles in a man or ovaries in a woman
33
circumcision
Surgical procedure of removing the foreskin (prepuce) of the penis
34
coitus
Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman; copulation
35
condom
Thin, flexible protective sheath, usually rubber (latex), worn over the penis during copulation to help prevent impregnation (block the passage of sperm) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
36
condyloma
Wartlike growth on the skin, most often seen on the external genitalia; either viral or syphilitic in origin.
37
cryptorchidism
Condition in which one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum
38
ejaculation
Process of expulsion of seminal fluid and sperm from the male urethra
39
epididymitis
Inflammation of the epididymis
40
epispadias
Congenital defect in which the urethra opens on the dorsum of the penis.
41
erectile dysfunction
Inability to achieve and maintain penile erection sufficient to complete satisfactory intercourse. Many treatment options for ED are available today. These include the vacuum constriction device (VCD); oral medications; medication patches and gels; urethral and penile injection therapies; and surgical therapies including penile prostheses (implants).
42
gamete
Mature reproductive cell of the male or female; a spermatozoon or ovum
43
gonorrhea
Highly contagious sexually transmitted infection of the genital mucous membrane of either sex; the infection is transmitted by the gonococcus Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
44
gynecomastia
Pathological condition of excessive development of the mammary glands in the male
45
heterosexual
Pertaining to the opposite sex; refers to an individual who has a sexual preference and relationship with the opposite sex
46
homosexual
Pertaining to the same sex; refers to an individual who has a sexual preference and relationship with the same sex
47
hydrocele
Accumulation of fluid in a saclike cavity. One that occurs during prenatal development is caused by a failure of the closure of the canal between the peritoneal cavity and the scrotum.
48
hypospadias
Congenital defect in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis. Symptoms depend on the severity of the defect. An abnormal direction of urine spray is common. Circumcision is not recommended, as the foreskin should be kept for use in a surgical repair. Urologists usually recommend repair before the child is 18 months old. During the surgery, the penis is straightened and the opening is corrected using tissue grafts from the foreskin. The repair may require multiple surgeries
49
infertility
Inability of a heterosexual couple to produce a viable offspring
50
mitosis
Ordinary condition of cell division
51
oligospermia
Condition in which there is insufficient (scanty) amount of spermatozoa in the semen
52
orchidectomy
Surgical excision of a testicle; also called orchiectomy
53
orchiditis
Inflammation of a testicle; also called orchitis
54
orchidotomy
Incision into a testicle
55
parenchyma
Essential cells of a gland or organ that are involved with its function
56
phimosis
A condition that can be present at birth in which there is narrowing of the opening of the prepuce and the foreskin cannot be drawn back over the glans penis. When this condition occurs later in life, it can be an emergency if blood flow is blocked to the penis.
57
prostate cancer
Malignant tumor of the prostate gland.
58
prostatectomy
Surgical excision of the prostate
59
prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate
60
puberty
Stage of development in the male and female when secondary sex characteristics begin to develop and the individual becomes functionally capable of reproduction
61
spermatid
Sperm germ cell; also called spermatoblast, spermoblast
62
spermatocele
Cystic swelling of the epididymis that contains spermatozoa; mobile, usually painless, and requires no treatment.
63
spermatogensis
Formation of spermatozoa
64
spermatozoon
Male sex cell; plural form is spermatozoa
65

67
varicocele
Enlargement and twisting of the veins of the spermatic cord.
68

Surgical procedure in which both of the vas deferens are cut, then tied or sealed to prevent the transport of sperm out of the testes.
