corpus spongiosum seen congenitally with hypospadias, or downward curvature seen on
erection in disease conditions causing a lack of distensibility in the tissue.
Chronic Interstitial Cystitis Answer: Persistently inflamed lesion of the bladder wall usually
accompanied by urinary frequency, pain, nocturia, and a distended bladder.

turns inside out, through an absent part of the lower abdominal and anterior bladder walls with
incomplete closure of the pubic bone.
Foley Catheter Answer: Temporary indwelling urethral catheter held in place in the bladder by
an inflated balloon containing fluid or air.
Hematospermia Answer: Blood in the seminal fluid, often caused by inflammation of the
prostate or seminal vesicles, or prostate cancer.
Hematuria Answer: Blood in the urine, which may present as gross visible blood or as the
presence of red blood cells visible only under a microscope.
