testis, or testicle: primary male sex organs, paired, oval-shaped,
and enclosed in a sac called the scrotum. The testes produce
spermatozoa (sperm cells) and the hormone testosterone.
sperm (spermatozoon): the microscopic male germ cell, which,
when united with the ovum, produces a zygote (fertilized egg)
that with subsequent development becomes an embryo.
testosterone: the principle male sex hormone. Its chief function
is to stimulate the development of the male reproductive organs
and secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair.
seminiferous tubules: up to 900 coiled tubes within the testes in
which spermatogenesis occurs
epididymis: a coiled duct (6-m) tube atop each of the testes
which provides for storage, transit and maturation of
spermatozoa, continues with the vas deferens.

vas deferens, ductus deferens, or seminal duct: duct
carrying the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
(The urethra also connects with the urinary bladder
and carries urine outside the body. A circular muscle
constricts during intercourse to prevent urination.)
seminal vesicles: two main glands located at the
base of the bladder that open into the vas deferens.
The glands secrete a thick fluid, which forms part of
the semen.
prostate gland: encircles the upper end of the
urethra. The prostate gland secretes a fluid that aids
in the movement of the sperm and ejaculation.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Severe lower abdominal pain and the inability to void for the
past 12 hours.
PRESENT ILLNESS: Andrew Nguyen is a 75-year-old Asian-American man who
came into the emergency department at 3:00 am stating that he was in great pain
and could not urinate. He had not been seen by a physician for several years but
claimed to be in good health except for “a little high blood pressure.” The patient
reports urinary frequency, nocturia x2, hesitancy, intermittency, and diminished
force and caliber of the urinary stream. He also has postvoid dribbling and the
sensation of not having completely emptied the bladder. Earlier today, he had
hematuria at the end of urination.
MEDICATION ALLERGIES: None
CURRENT MEDICATIONS: Benadryl 25 mg. at bedtime.
PHYSICAL EXAM: Temperature 98.6ºF. Blood pressure 140/90. Pulse 98.
Respirations 24. Palpation of the abdomen shows a suprapubic mass approximately
three fingerbreadths below the umbilicus, dull to percussion and slightly tender.
IMPRESSION: Urinary bladder distention caused by urinary outlet obstruction,
probably from benign prostatic hyperplasia.
PLAN: Indwelling Foley catheter for relief of urinary obstruction. Urology consult.
