| genital phase | In psychoanalytic personality theory, the final stage of psychosexual development, occurring during puberty, in which the individual's psychosexual development is so organised that sexual gratification can be achieved from genital-to-genital contact and the capacity exists for a mature affectionate relationship with an individual of the opposite sex. See: phallic phase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital ridge | An elevation of thickened mesothelium and underlying mesenchyme on the ventromedial border of the embryonic mesonephros; the primordial germ cells become embedded in it, establishing it as the primordium of the testis or ovary. Synonym: genital ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital stage | Referring to the psychic organization derived from, and characteristic of, the Freudian genital period of the infant's psychosocial organization. See: genitality. See: anality, orality. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital swellings | Paired primordial elevations flanking the genital tubercle and the urogenital orifice of the embryo; they develop into the labioscrotal folds, which become the labia majora in the female and unite to form the scrotal pouch of the male. Synonym: labioscrotal swellings. Hunger swelling, starvation oedema caused by many factors, primarily reduced serum albumin. Labial swelling, the female embryonic genital swelling which elongates to become the definitive labium majus. See: genital swellings. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital system | The complex system consisting of the male or female gonads, associated ducts, and external genitalia dedicated to the function of reproducing the species. Synonym: reproductive system. (05 Mar 2000) |

| genital ulcer disease | Ulcerative lesions on the genitals, usually caused by a sexually transmitted condition such as herpes, syphilis or chancroid. The presence of genital ulcers may increase the risk of transmitting HIV. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genital wart | A form of wart or papilloma. Commonly seen in the genital area and sexually transmitted. Causative agent is the human papilloma virus. The most common sexually transmitted disease. Treatment involves the use of special medications or localised surgical treatment (for example cryotherapy, surgical removal). (27 Sep 1997) |
| genital warts | Warts confined primarily to the moist skin of the genitals due to viruses belonging to the family of human papilloma viruses (HPVs) transmitted through sexual contact. most infected people have no symptoms but these viruses increase a woman's risk for cancer of the cervix. The virus can also be transmitted from mother to baby during childbirth. HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. It is also the leading cause of abnormal PAP smears and pre-cancerous changes of the cervix in women. There is no cure for genital warts virus infection. Once contracted, the virus can stay with a person for life. (12 Dec 1998) |

| herpes, genital | A viral infection transmitted through intimate contact with the moist mucous linings of the genitals. This contact can involve the mouth, the vagina or the genital skin. The herpes simplex type 2 virus enters the mucous membranes through microscopic tears. Once inside, the virus travels to nerve the roots near the spinal cord and settles there permanently. When an infected person has a herpes outbreak, the virus travels down the nerve fibres to the site of the original infection and when it reaches the skin, the classic redness and blisters occur. The outbreak of herpes is closely related to the functioning of the immune system. Women who have suppressed immune systems, either through stress, disease, or medications, have more frequent and longer-lasting outbreaks. Commonly just called herpes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberculosis, female genital | Tuberculosis of the genitalia in women. (12 Dec 1998) |
