Chronic scrotal pain. A study of its causes and management.
Chronic scrotal pain is a common complaint that always causes anxiety to the patient, frequently causes diagnostic difficulties to the general practitioner and usually results in prolonged follow-up in surgical clinics. Careful examination in a urological clinic and ultrasound study in all patients reveals a firm diagnosis in 60%, and the other patients can be reassured and discharged from surgical follow-up, although 19% of them will remain symptomatic.
