Testicular injuries are seldom because of the mobility of the testes and their anatomical position between the thighs, which offers them protection. They represent only a small percentage of traumatic injuries of the genitourinary tract. Etiologically we can categorize testicular trauma in blunt or penetrating. Treatment can be conservative or surgical. Significant haematocele indicates rupture of the tunica albuginea and should be treated with surgical exploration and repair. Treatment decision can be made with the help of real time ultrasonography or sometimes MRI and CT-scans of the testes. Hormonal function remains in most of the cases normal but hormone status should be controlled in complicated cases, which affect fertility and could require hormone replacement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
