Testicular sarcoidosis can present as a diffuse painless scrotal mass or can mimic acute epididymo-orchitis. Usually it appears with systemic manifestations of the disease. [3] Since it causes occlusion and fibrosis of the ductus epididymis, fertility may be affected. [4]
Tests are needed to distinguish chronic epididymitis from a range of other disorders that can cause constant scrotal pain including testicular cancer (though this is often painless), enlarged scrotal veins , calcifications, [15] and a possible cyst within the epididymis. Some research has found that as much as 80% of visits to a urologist for ...
Palpate scrotum to examine the appearance, size and position of the testicles. The normal shape of testicle is oval and smooth but tender to the touch.
