| Erectile Dysfunction (ED) | The inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. |
| Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) | Method of surgical sperm retrieval involving placing a needle attached to a syringe through the skin of the scrotum and simply sucking out the fluid inside the testicle |
| Peyronie's Disease (PD) | The development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis that causes curved, painful erections. |
| Coronary Vascular Disease (CVD) | All heart and circulatory diseases, including coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack, congenital heart disease, hypertension, stroke and vascular dementia. It's also known as heart and circulatory disease. |
| Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) | Impedance or blockage of one or more arteries that supply blood to the heart, usually due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). |
| FNA Mapping | An application of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to the testis for the diagnosis of male infertility. |
| Sperm Mapping | Another name for FNA Mapping (an application of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to the testis for the diagnosis of male infertility). |
| Testicular Mapping | Another name for FNA Mapping (an application of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to the testis for the diagnosis of male infertility). |
| Non-Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA) | No sperm in the ejaculate due to failure of spermatogenesis and is the most severe form of male infertility. |
| Azoospermia | Absence of motile (and hence viable) sperm in the semen. |
| Obstructive Azoospermia (OA) | The absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate despite normal spermatogenesis. |
| Duplex US with Injection | A procedure which assesses the degree of erection, if artieries are healthy & how much blood is flowing into the penis. Also asseses the degree of venous outflow from the penis & the function of erection nerves. |
| Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) | Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. When you develop PAD, your extremities — usually your legs — don't receive enough blood flow to keep up with demand. |
| Xiaflex Injections | A series of injections done for the purpose of administering a non-surgical treatment of Peyronie's Disease. |
| Testopel Treatment | An FDA-approved testosterone pellet available to help restore testosterone levels in men with Low T. |
| Low T | Low testosterone levels which is diagnosed when testosterone levels fall below 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). |
| Hypogonadism | A condition in which decreased production of gonadal hormones leads to below-normal function of the gonads and to retardation of sexual growth and development in children. |
| Cystoscopy | A procedure that allows a doctor to examine the lining of a patient's bladder and the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). |
| Cryopreservation | The process of cooling and storing cells, tissues, or organs at very low temperatures to maintain their viability. |
| Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography (SPECT) | A scan, primarily used to diagnose and track the progression of heart disease, which uses radioactive tracers to provide a 3D (tomographic) image. |
