Study Notes
Common Male Reproductive System Diseases
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse, caused by physical, psychological, or combined factors.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, often leading to urinary problems like difficulty urinating or frequent urination.
- Prostate Cancer: Common cancer in men, originating in the prostate gland, often diagnosed through screenings like PSA testing or biopsy.
- Testicular Cancer: Cancer developing in the testicles, most common in younger men, highly treatable when detected early.
- Varicocele: Enlargement of veins within the scrotum, potentially leading to infertility and discomfort.
- Hypogonadism (Low Testosterone): Condition where the body doesn't produce enough testosterone, resulting in symptoms like low energy, reduced libido, and infertility.
Other Male Reproductive System Diseases
- Orchitis: Inflammation of the testicle, often caused by viral or bacterial infections like mumps.
- Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis, often caused by bacterial infections (including STIs like gonorrhea or chlamydia).
- Priapism: Prolonged and painful erection unrelated to sexual stimulation, requiring prompt treatment to prevent permanent damage.
- Peyronie's Disease: Development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, causing curved or painful erections.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs/STIs): Various infections affecting male reproductive organs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV, potentially causing fertility problems, pain, and other complications.
- Male Infertility: Inability to conceive a child, often caused by factors like low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or structural abnormalities.
- Hypospadias: Congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip.
- Cryptorchidism: Undescended testicles, a condition where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum, potentially leading to infertility.
- Phimosis: Foreskin of the penis cannot be fully retracted, leading to pain or difficulty urinating.
- Balanitis: Inflammation of the head of the penis, typically due to infection, poor hygiene, or skin conditions.
- Hydrocele: Fluid accumulation around the testicle causing swelling, can be present at birth or develop later in life.
- Testicular Torsion: Medical emergency where the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood flow to the testicle, potentially leading to testicular loss if not treated promptly.
- Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate gland leading to symptoms like pelvic pain, painful urination, and sexual dysfunction.
- Klinefelter Syndrome: Genetic condition where males are born with an extra X chromosome, causing symptoms like infertility, low testosterone, and developmental delays.
