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.
