Activity Description

Acute scrotum pain is an umbrella term that includes a wide variety of unique disease processes.

Rapid evaluation and treatment are necessary due to the time dependency of certain morbid but reversible conditions, such as acute testicular torsion. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of acute scrotum pain and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients affected by it.
