Aims This study aims to analyse the novel Coronavirus disease‐ (COVID‐19) related testicular pain in hospitalised patients because of COVID‐19 and to review as an aetiological factor for epididymitis, orchitis or both. Methods A total of 91 patients were included in the study. A questionnaire was formed for the questioning of testicular pain or epididymo‐orchitis in patients with COVID‐19. Demographics and past medical history was also recorded. Patients’ neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratios (NLR), C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels and D‐dimer values were recorded. Patients with COVID‐19 were divided into two groups according to absence or presence of testicular pain or epididymo‐orchitis as group 1 and group 2. All results were compared for both groups. Results The median age of patients was similar in both groups. Testicular pain was occurred in 10.98% of the patients. Clinical presentation of epididymo‐orchitis was diagnosed in only one patient. No statistically significant difference was reported in terms of patients’ age, levels of CRP and D‐Dimer or NLR and results of questionnaire form queries between the two groups (P > .05). Conclusion Testicular pain was observed more frequently in hospitalised COVID‐19 cases. While no inflammation marker which is related to predict of testicular pain or epididymo‐orchitis was found in patients with COVID‐19.

“…NBEO is more common than BEO, even in endemic areas for brucellosis. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea are the most common causes of epididymoorchitis among sexually active males between 14 and 35 years [17]. For men, over 35 years of age, and prepubertal boys, the most common causes are Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis [18].…”

Material and methodsThis study has a retrospective design and the approval of the local Ethics Committee was obtained. Patients who Abstract Aim: In brucellosis the male genitourinary system can be affected in a small number of patients. In this study we aimed to identify, discuss and compare the radiologic findings of 24 cases with Brucella epididymo-orchitis (BEO) and 285 cases with non-Brucella epididymis orchitis (NBEO). Material and methods: The study had a retrospective design. The area of involvement, side of involvement (left, right or bilateral), presence of abscess, hydrocele and testicular involvement pattern were analyzed and compared between the BEO and NBEO cases. Results: The median age of the included cases was 33 years, with a minimum of 0 and maximum of 89. Epididymo-orchitis and isolated orchitis were more frequent in BEO cases while isolated epididymis involvement was more common in patients with non-BEO (p=0.0117). Bilateral involvement was present in 20.8% and 4.6% cases in the BEO and non-BEO groups, respectively (p=0.008). The frequency of abscess was significantly higher in BEO cases (p=0.003). Conclusion: Although the radiological indications of BEO are similar to those of other types of epididymo-orchitis, abscess formation, bilateral involvement and testicular involvement contribute significantly to diagnosis.

Methods: A total of 91 patients were included in the study. A questionnaire was formed for the questioning of testicular pain or epididymo-orchitis in patients with COVID-19.
