use of a focused beam of light to excise or vaporize abnormal tissue and to control bleeding; uses a variety of noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures.

Answer 61

procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia that are characterized by fewer side effects, outpatient (office-based) locations, and shorter recovery times. Examples include prostatic urethral lift (PUL) and water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT). Limited data exists regarding the long-term success rate and the need for retreatment.

Answer 62

cutting or grinding solid tissue into smaller pieces for removal

Answer 63

use of small surgical instruments attached to a computer and operated by the surgeon from a console several feet from the operating table

Answer 64

surgical procedure that prevents pregnancy, either the ability of the female to conceive or of the male to induce conception

Answer 65

surgical procedure that widens the urethra by making a few small incisions in the bladder neck and the prostate gland. No prostate tissue is removed. TUIP may be used instead of TURP when the prostate gland is less enlarged.

Answer 66

surgical removal of pieces of prostate gland tissue by using an instrument inserted through the urethra. The capsule is left intact; usually performed when the enlarged prostate gland interferes with urination.

Answer 67

combination of magnetic resonance imaging with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to obtain tissue from a prostate lesion. Software merges an existing MR image with live ultrasound images. The combined, or fused, MRI-TRUS image is used to direct the biopsy needle into the area of the prostate that looks suspicious on MRI. (also called MRI-TRUS fusion, MR-ultrasound fusion, and fusion guided biopsy)

Answer 68

magnetic resonance imaging procedure providing information of anatomic structure and physiology for the staging of prostate cancer. It uses a combination of different MRI modalities to better understand the size and extent of prostate tumors.

Answer 69

ultrasound procedure used to diagnose prostate cancer. Sound waves are sent and received by a transducer probe that is placed into the rectum.

Answer 70

blood test that measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood. Elevated test results may indicate the presence of prostate cancer, urinary or prostatic infection, or excess prostate tissue, as found in benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis.

Answer 71

microscopic observation of ejaculated semen, revealing the size, structure, and movement of sperm; used to evaluate male infertility and to determine the effectiveness of a vasectomy (also called sperm count and sperm test)

Answer 72

blood test to measure the level of the hormone responsible for male physical characteristics (testosterone); used to detect multiple conditions in men and women, including infertility

Answer 73

physical examination in which the healthcare provider inserts a gloved finger into the rectum and palpates the prostate through the rectal wall to determine the size, shape, and consistency of the gland; used to screen for BPH and prostate cancer. BPH usually presents as a uniform, nontender enlargement, whereas cancer usually presents as a stony hard nodule.

Answer 74

condition of without sperm

Answer 75

discharge from the glans penis

Answer 76

condition of scanty sperm (in the semen; may contribute to infertility); (also called low sperm count)

Answer 77

pain in the testis (also called testalgia)

Answer 78

sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium C. trachomatis; sometimes referred to as a silent STI because many people are not aware they have the disease. Symptoms that occur when the disease becomes serious are painful urination and discharge from the penis in men and genital itching, vaginal discharge, and bleeding between menstrual periods in women.

Answer 79

sexually transmitted infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 2

Answer 80

sexually transmitted infection caused by a bacterial organism that inflames the mucous membranes of the genitourinary tract

Answer 81

sexually transmitted infection caused by a retrovirus that infects T-helper cells of the immune system; may also be acquired in utero or transmitted through infected blood via needle sharing. Advanced HIV infection progresses to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

Answer 82

sexually transmitted infection caused by viral infection; there are more than 40 types of HPV that cause benign or cancerous growths in male and female genitals (also called genital warts)

Answer 83

infection spread through sexual contact

Answer 84

infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Rapidly spreads throughout the body, and if untreated becomes systemic and can progress through three stages separated by latent periods. Usually sexually transmitted, but may be acquired in utero and by direct contact with infected skin.

Answer 85

sexually transmitted infection caused by a one-celled organism Trichomonas. It infects the genitourinary tract. Men may be asymptomatic or may develop urethritis, an enlarged prostate gland, or epididymitis. Women may have vaginal itching, dysuria, and vaginal or urethral discharge
