______ 9. turp is used to treat an enlarged prostate gland.
______ 10. a sexually transmitted disease is also called sexually transmitted infection.

Explanation:

1. Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis, so this is true.
2. Testes produce spermatozoa (sperm), so this is true.
3. Anorchism is the absence of one or both testes, not scanty sperm (oligospermia), so false. Rewrite: "Anorchism means absence of one or both testes."
4. Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, while prostate stones are prostatolithiasis, so false. Rewrite: "Prostatitis means inflammation of the prostate gland."
5. Ablation is the destruction of abnormal tissue by melting, vaporizing, etc., so this is true.
6. Orchiopexy is surgical fixation of the testicle, not seminal vesicles, so false. Rewrite: "Orchiopexy is the surgical fixation of the testicle."
7. Excision of vas deferens part is vasectomy, circumcision is removing foreskin, so false. Rewrite: "Excision of a portion of the vas deferens is called vasectomy."
8. The correct root for sperm - related terms is "semin - " (e.g., seminal), but "semin" alone is not a standard standalone word spelling check here is about the given "semin" – typically, in medical terminology, the root is "semin - " but as a word, maybe a typo? Wait, the question is if "semin" is correctly spelled. In standard spelling, "semin" as a word (if referring to the root - related) – actually, the correct root is "semin - " (from Latin semen), but "semin" alone is not a standard English word. So this is false. Rewrite: "The word'semin' is misspelled (e.g., correct root - related terms use'semin -'as a combining form, but'semin' alone is not a standard word)."
9. TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is used to treat an enlarged prostate, so this is true.
10. Sexually transmitted disease (STD) is also called sexually transmitted infection (STI), so this is true.
