Evaluation and management of chronic scrotal content pain

Laurence A Levine et al. Curr Urol Rep. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Chronic scrotal content pain (CSCP) is a common patient complaint which virtually all urologists will encounter in practice. While our understanding of the pathophysiology and management has increased in recent years, CSCP remains a frustrating process for both the patient and physician given that there currently is no standardized protocol for treatment or evaluation. The following article is a literature review regarding the pathophysiology and current medical and surgical options for CSCP. We also provide an updated evaluation and treatment algorithm.
