Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms. [1] Conditions that may result in similar symptoms include testicular torsion, inguinal hernia, and testicular cancer. [1] Ultrasound can be useful if the diagnosis is unclear. [1] Epididymitis usually has a gradual onset.
The differential diagnosis of testicular pain is broad and involves conditions from benign to life-threatening. The most common causes of pain in children presenting to the emergency room are testicular torsion (16%), torsion of a testicular appendage (46%), and epididymitis (35%). [4] In adults, the most common cause is epididymitis. [citation ...
Chronic infectious epididymitis is rare. [13] Some signs and symptoms include localized tenderness and swelling in the epididymis, which are different from any tenderness/abnormality present in the testis, these are usually not found in lower urinary tract. Chronic infectious epididymitis may be diagnosed in healthy adolescents as well as men.
Post-vasectomy pain syndrome (PVPS) is a chronic and sometimes debilitating genital pain condition that may develop immediately or several years after vasectomy. [1] [2] [3] Because this condition is a syndrome, there is no single treatment method, therefore efforts focus on mitigating/relieving the individual patient's specific pain.
Testicular cancer is cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. [2] Symptoms may include a lump in the testicle or swelling or pain in the scrotum. [2] Treatment may result in infertility. [2] Risk factors include an undescended testis, family history of the disease, and previous history of testicular cancer. [5]
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is characterized by pelvic or perineal pain without evidence of urinary tract infection, [8] lasting longer than 3 months, [9] as the key symptom. Symptoms may wax and wane. Pain can range from mild to debilitating. Pain may radiate to the back and rectum, making sitting uncomfortable.
The monarch's diagnosis appears to be what experts call an incidental diagnosis, meaning the medical team was not looking for cancer but discovered it during another procedure.
The diagnosis should usually be made based on the presenting symptoms but requires timely diagnosis and treatment to avoid testicular loss. [4] [page needed] [1] [2] An ultrasound can be useful when the diagnosis is unclear. [2] Treatment is by physically untwisting the testicle, if possible, followed by surgery. [1] Pain can be treated with ...
