Lint: dancing-megasperm

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Dancing megasperm is the ultrasound finding of continuously oscillating/mobile tiny echogenic foci within dilated tubules of the epididymis. This is seen in post-vasectomy patients and others with obstruction of the spermatic cord and is thought to represent clumps/ clusters of trapped spermatozoa which oscillate due to the turbulence created during ultrasound interrogation of the scrotum 2,3."

Line 1:185 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-vasectomy'.
