Male GU exam s/l something-taryx
Subject: Male GU exam s/l something-taryx

In the male GU physical exam, the doctor says:  "Penis normal.  Testes normal.  _____ normal."  I can't understand the first part of what he says, but the rest of it sounds like it ends in "ricks" or "ryx."  What could it be?  I could leave a blank, but I'm kinda curious.... 


Any help would be appreciated.  (And you don't even have to tell me how you know !)
