Study Notes
Appendicitis
- Appendicitis is abdominal pain, often starting around the belly button and migrating to the lower right abdomen.
- Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and sometimes fever.
- Diagnosis involves a physical exam, blood tests (checking for elevated white blood cell count), urine tests (to rule out urinary tract infections), and imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans.
- Treatment is surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy).
- Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera.
Orchitis
- Orchitis is inflammation of one or both testicles, often painful.
- Common causes include viral infections (such as mumps) or bacterial infections (including STIs).
- Diagnosis involves a physical exam, urinalysis, and sometimes ultrasound or blood tests.
- Treatment typically involves pain relief and antibiotics if the infection is bacterial.
Testicular Torsion
- Sudden, severe, unilateral scrotal pain is a key characteristic.
- Also includes scrotal swelling and erythema.
- Firm tender mass, potential retraction upward.
- Absence of relief with scrotal or testicular elevation.
- Lower abdominal pain.
- Reactive hydrocele
- High-riding testicle, often with "bell-clapper" deformity.
- Horizontal lie within the scrotum.
- Significant tenderness of testes.
- Absent cremasteric reflex.
- Negative Prehn's sign.
- Sudden awakening with scrotal pain in children.
- Twist score of >4 is a medical emergency.
- Treatment involves immediate medical attention, and potentially surgical intervention within 6 hours.
Hydrocele
- A hydrocele is the buildup of fluid in the scrotum.
- Usually painless and may appear as a swelling.
- May be present in newborns and often resolves on its own.
- Treatment for hydroceles may depend on the severity and the individual's symptoms, ranging from supportive measures to surgery, and potentially resolution on its own.
Epididymitis
- Epididymitis is the inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube in the back of the testicle.
- Pain, redness, tenderness, and warmth in the scrotum.
- Fluid swelling in the scrotum.
- Aching or discomfort in testicles that doesn't go away.
- Common causes include bacterial infections (like gonorrhea or chlamydia) and other bacterial causes.
- Diagnosis involves physical exams and lab tests (such as urinalysis, blood tests, and a urethral swab).
- Treatment often involves antibiotics.
Hemangioma
- Hemangioma is a noncancerous tumor of blood vessels in the skin or internal organs.
- Common in infants and may appear as a flat mark or birthmark.
- Typically resolves by 3-5 years old.
- Treatment may not be needed if the hemangioma is small and resolves on its own.
Varicocele
- A varicocele is the enlargement and swelling of the veins within the scrotum.
- Causes blood pooling and may result in a dull ache or discomfort in the scrotum, a painless lump in the testicle, or scrotal swelling.
- Treatment is often not needed if it causes no problems.
- Treatment options may include supportive underwear, pain medications, or surgery (such as embolization).
Pain Medication
- NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen are often prescribed for pain relief.
- Narcotics may be used in severe cases for short-term pain relief
Pain Medication
- Over-the-counter pain relievers (such as ibuprofen) can help manage pain and inflammation.
- Topical applications (such as creams or ointments), and supportive devices like braces can also provide some relief for stiffness.
