| Test/o OR testocul/o OR orchi/o OR orchid/o(doesn't look or smell like Orchids) | Testis OR Testicles(testes |
| The testes(testicles)are the bilateral male gonads that produce: | 1.)Spermatozoa AKA Sperm(male sex cells) 2.)Testosterone AKA androgen (male sex hormone) |
| Testicular | Pertaining to a testicle(testis) |
| Orchitis | Inflammation of the testicle(testis) |
| Orchiotomy OR orchidotomy | Surgical incision of a testicle(testis) |
| Orchiectomy OR Orchidectomy | Surgical removal of a testicle(testis) |
| Bilateral Orchiectomy | Surgical removal of both testes |
| The layperson would call a bilateral Orchiectomy | Castration |

| Orchidopexy OR Orchiopexy | Surgical fixation of a testicle(testis) |
| Anorchism | A condition of no testicle(testis) |
| Cryptorchidism | Condition of an undescended(hidden)testicle |
| Sperm/i OR spermat/o | Spermatozoa(sperm) |
| Spermatic | Pertaining to spermatozoa(sperm) |
| Oligospermia | A condition of scanty(deficient)spermatozoa(sperm) |
| Aspermia | A condition of no spermatozoa(sperm) |
| Spermicide | The killing of spermatozoa(sperm) |

| A Digital Rectal Exam(DRE)can detect | Behign Prostatic Hypertrophy(BPH) |
| TransUrethral Incision of the Prostate(TUIP) | Pertaining to through the urethra to make an incision of the prostate |
| Transurethral Microwave Thermotheraphy(TUMT) | Pertaining to through the urethra to apply heat theraphy(treatment)from micowaves to the prostate |
| TransUrethral Resection(excision)of the Prostate(TUR or TURP) | Pertaining to through the urethra to cut back the prostate |
| Prostatic Specific Antigen(PSA) | A blood test to detect a predisposition (tendency)for prostate malignancy |
| Vesicul/o | Seminal vesicle(s)(FSU) |
| The seminal vesicles create | Semen |
| Prostatovesiculectomy | Excision of the prostate AND a seminal vesicle |
| Vesiculectomy | Surgical removal of a seminal vesicle |
