Chronic scrotal pain: Pathogenesis, clinical phenotypes and modern treatment concept (clinical lecture)

Chronic scrotal pain (CSP) is a general term, which defines variety of problems causing discomfort or pain in the scrotum, which can be caused by the problems with testicles and other structures of the scrotum: epididymis, vas deferens, paratesticular structures. For a practicing urologist, the diagnosis and treatment of chronic scrotal pain is always a difficult task due to the many reasons for its appearance and the variety of clinical symptoms. CSP is a widespread but poorly understood condition, the etiology of which often can not be identified. Pain localized in the scrotum makes up 38.8 % of all cases of chronic men’s pelvic pain. From 2.5 to 4.8 % of all visits to the urologist relate to CSP syndrome. Primary scrotal pain syndrome is not associated with infection or other local pathological processes that could cause pain. The treatment of chronic scrotal pain is challenging because the pain often does not react to the traditional treatments.The purpose of this lecture is to draw the attention of urologists, general practitioners, and everyone who is interested in the problem of treating chronic scrotal pain to the possibilities of modern medicine in solving this multidisciplinary problem..
