Epididymitis and testicular torsion are both causes of scrotal pain

Epididymitis and testicular torsion are both causes of scrotal pain. Testicular torsion requires prompt recognition and surgical intervention to avoid testicular damage. Epididymitis is easily managed with antibiotics. Differentiation between the two disorders is important. Review the case and answer the questions

Case: A 15-year-old presents to the emergency department complaining of sudden onset of right-sided scrotal and groin pain. He states the pain is constant and extreme.

The patient has edema and erythema of his right scrotum. His scrotum is tender, and the patient only tolerated superficial palpation.

1. The most likely diagnosis based on his history is: a. Epididymitis b. Testicular torsion

2. Erythema and edema of the scrotum are only present with epididymitis. a. True b. False

3. Which of the following clinical manifestations are consistent with epididymitis, and which are consistent with testicular torsion? a. Positive Prehn sign 1. Testicular torsion b. Negative cremasteric reflex 2. Epididymitis c. Testis elevated on affected side d.

Fever   4. Which diagnostic test is most appropriate to confirm the suspected diagnosis?

a. A complete blood count with differential b. An MRI of the scrotum c. A Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum d. A urine culture and sensitivity 5. Discuss the treatment plans for testicular torsion and epididymitis.

Anxiety and depression

A 70-year-old woman has scheduled an initial evaluation. Her medical diagnoses include hypertension, hyperglycemia, mild obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Her psychiatric diagnoses include anxiety and depression.  Her current medications are atorvastatin 20 mg daily for seven years, Ozempic 1 mg injection weekly for three years, lisinopril 10 mg daily for 10 years, and Abilify 5 mg daily for six years. Labs: Fasting Blood Glucose – 115, HbgA1C – 6.9, Total Cholesterol – 200, LDL – 100, HDL – 37. Her height is 5’2″ and her weight is 176 pounds.

Her blood pressure was 146/83 upon arrival at the office. During your interview, she explains she became depressed following the death of her husband seven years ago. She became anxious about performing everyday tasks without him present.  After starting Abilify, she gained 25 pounds and required an increased dose of atorvastatin and Ozempic.

She has been unable to lose the weight she gained and tries to closely monitor her dietary intake due to her persistently elevated glucose but reports still craving carbohydrates.  Her depression has improved slightly but she is still anxious to go out alone, so she no longer goes for daily walks to exercise.
