R86.5: Abnormal findings in specimens from male genital organs : abnormal microbiological findings
The external male genitals include the penis and the testicles. The internal male genital organs include the testes, epididymides, the vas deferens, the spermatic cords, the seminal vesicles and the prostate. The prostate forms part of the male genital organs. The prostate sits below the bladder and encircles the urethra. The prostate is also known as the prostate gland. Some of the seminal fluid is formed in the prostate.
Your sample may be fluid from the prostate or sperm, for example. The sample normally only contains a certain amount of different substances. These substances include certain cells and certain proteins, for example. Sometimes you can also detect substances or pathogens in the sample that are not normally found there.
Pathogens have been detected in your sample. Pathogens can cause inflammation in the body, for example.
