2. surgical resection of the vas deferens
3. enlargement of breast in male
4. transurethral resection of prostate
5. prolonged erection not related to sexual stimualation
6. surgically made opening for urethra
7. lady partsl bleeding between menstrual periods
8. downward displacement of the urethra into the lady parts
9. downward displacement of the bladder into the lady parts
10. involunatry painful straining
I can not find the terms for these anywhere
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Does anyone know of any Med-Term websites where you can type in a difinition and get the term?

There is an excellend book out that I suggest that you purchase. It is called the "Language of Medicine." It will help you considerably with questions of this type.
I'm not sure of all...and not exactly sure of some of the spelling,
but here goes.
We have a very bad teacher that gives assignments from books that we don't have, can anyone help me with the terms for these:1. difficulty initiating urinary stream
dysuria (I think)
2. surgical resection of the vas deferens
vasectomy
3. enlargement of breast in male
gynomastia
4. transurethral resection of prostate
TUR-P
5. prolonged erection not related to sexual stimualation
not sure
6. surgically made opening for urethra
ureterostomy or cystostomy
7. lady partsl bleeding between menstrual periods
dysmenorrhea could be dysfunctional uterine bleed
8. downward displacement of the urethra into the lady parts
downward displacement in male is called hypospadia
I think it's the same for females
9. downward displacement of the bladder into the lady parts
cystocele
10. involunatry painful straining
not sure of that one
I can not find the terms for these anywhere

Mel: hope that helps some, hope I didn't lead you astray.
If really stuck, know any docs you can talk to, many are more than
willing to help out a student.

P.S. the prefix "dys" may not be right, without looking it up, my SN daughter has my old books, may mean pain, or painful??? Not sure.
Good luck Mike
Here is a great source that i use all the time - hope it helps http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/mplusdictionary.html
