menopause: The period that marks the permanent cessation of menstrual activity, usually occurring between the ages of 40 and 58.
metastasis: The spreading of a cancerous tumor to another part of the body.
microwave (targis): A catheter is placed within the bladder and positioned within the prostate, and then the antenna emits microwaves. This procedure increases the passageway, allowing for easier urination.
mixed incontinence: Having both stress and urge incontinence.
nephrectomy: Removal of an entire kidney.
open nephrolithotomy: The most invasive procedure for removing kidney stones. Because it is so traumatic, most kidneys can withstand no more than two such operations. Deep anesthesia is required, after which the surgeon makes a large (10-20 centimeter) incision in the patient's back or abdomen, depending upon where the stone is located. Either the ureter or the kidney is opened and the stone extracted. Most patients require prolonged hospitalization afterward, and recovery may take up to two months.
orchiectomy: The surgical removal of one or both of the testicles.
orchitis: Inflammation of a testicle.
overactive bladder: A condition characterized by involuntary bladder muscle contractions during the bladder-filling phase, which the patient cannot suppress.
overflow UI: Leakage of small amounts of urine from a bladder that is always full.
