complications of chlamydia
primary cause of infertility in females, nongonococcal urethritis, linked to preterm labor and postpartum endometriosis
Testicular torsion
twisting of testicle on the spermatic cord causing testicular hypoxia
elevation or manipulation of the scrotum may increase the pain(torsion or epididymitis)
Testicular torsion
treatment for testicular torsion
Detorsion under sedation in Ed or anesthesia in OR, if within 6 hours salvage rate is 80-100 %, if after 12 hours, orchiectomy will likely be required
elevation of testicles feels good, wearing tighter clothes helps. (torsion or epididymitis)
epididymitis
Epididymitis in younger vs older males
younger: usually secondary to STD, older usually caused by bacteria such as E. Coli secondary to underlying obstructive disease
onset of torsion vs epididymitis
torsion: rapid onset of pain as soon as torsion happens Epididymitis: gradual as infection gets worse
treatment for epididymitis
abx, antipyretics, bedrest 3-4 days, scrotal support, sexual activity and physical strain avoided till infection over,
orchitis
inflamation of testicle
Phimosis
condition where the foreskin does not fully retract over head of penis
