Symptom onset often follows physical activity or trauma to the testes or scrotum. Children with testicular torsion may awaken with testicular or abdominal pain in the middle of the night or in the morning. [8] There may be a history of previous, similar episodes of scrotal pain due to prior transient testicular torsion with spontaneous ...
Varicoceles and testicular torsion are conditions in which direct damage to the testicles can potentially lead to testicular atrophy. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Varicoceles are pooling of blood in the veins that deliver blood away from the testicles and are relatively common, occurring in approximately 15% of adolescent and adults with testicles. [ 7 ]
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 testicular pain is long-term pain of the testes. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is considered chronic if it has persisted for more than three months. [ 1 ] Chronic testicular pain may be caused by injury , infection , surgery , cancer , varicocele , or testicular torsion , and is a possible complication after vasectomy . [ 2 ]
The normal testis and epididymis are anchored to the scrotal wall. If there is a lack of development of these attachments, the testis is free to twist on its vascular pedicle. This will result in torsion of the spermatic cord and interruption of testicular blood flow. Testicular torsion occurs most commonly at 12 to 18 years but can occur at ...
The three most statistically frequently occurring diseases of the prostate gland are benign hyperplasia (a swelling of the gland, not due to cancerous accumulation), prostatitis (inflammation), and cancer [6] (which is the accumulation of malignant cells in the gland).
Differential diagnosis of hematocele includes testicular tumor, testicular torsion, and epididymitis. [8] In a blood test or urine test, serum levels of tumor markers such as ( alpha-fetoprotein , carcinoembryonic antigen , β-human chorionic gonadotropin ) can help to reveal if testicular cancer is present which can help with the differential ...
